Public release of LyX version 1.4.1
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.1. This is a bug fix
|
|
release, but some of the bugs were big. In particular:
|
|
|
|
- fix the huge memory consumption and corresponding sluggishness with
|
|
documents containing many graphics or `instant preview' snippets.
|
|
|
|
- fix slow screen update with nested insets, particularly with LyX/Mac.
|
|
|
|
- fix the delay when exiting from a math inset.
|
|
|
|
- let the change tracking code track paragraph breaks too.
|
|
|
|
Also, this will be the first 1.4 release with a windows installer.
|
|
|
|
See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release.
|
|
|
|
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 1.4.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.bz2
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.1.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host
|
|
the .bz2 versions):
|
|
|
|
http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Note that no patch is provided to upgrade from version 1.3.7.
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
|
|
installers) should soon be available at
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/
|
|
|
|
If you already have the LyX 1.4.0 sources, you may want to apply one
|
|
of the following patches instead
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.1.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.1.bz2
|
|
|
|
Note that this patch will not produce valid LyX/Mac sources, since
|
|
some binary files have been added for this release.
|
|
|
|
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.4.1, you may either
|
|
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org), or open
|
|
a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org
|
|
|
|
If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
|
|
first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there,
|
|
e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org).
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!

The LyX team.
