Public release of LyX version 1.6.1
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.1. This is the first
|
|
maintenance release in the brand-new 1.6.x series, and as such, it mainly
|
|
focuses on bug fixes. We have ironed out some major problems that slipped
|
|
into the application in the wake of the new features.
|
|
|
|
All users of LyX 1.6.0 are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
|
|
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.
|
|
|
|
In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
|
|
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
|
|
|
|
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
|
|
based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
|
|
is released under a Free Software/Open Source license.
|
|
|
|
LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
|
|
right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
|
|
details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with
|
|
page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's
|
|
legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
|
|
|
|
On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output --
|
|
or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks
|
|
like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs,
|
|
all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
|
|
different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes
|
|
'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press.
|
|
|
|
LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
|
|
internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the
|
|
Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
|
|
|
|
You can download LyX 1.6.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.1.tar.bz2

|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.6.1.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will
|
|
also host the .bz2 versions):

|
|
installers) should soon be available at
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.1/
