Public release of LyX version 1.6.10
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.10. This is the 11th
|
|
and final maintenance release in the 1.6.x series.
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.6.10 concludes the successful 1.6 series, which has been our stable
|
|
series for the past two and a half years. The most notable new feature of
|
|
this version is that it is able to read and import documents of our new
|
|
stable series, LyX 2.0.x. This is for the benefit of users who want to
|
|
stick with LyX 1.6.x for the time being, but still want to cooperate with
|
|
users of the new version. Note that LyX 1.6.10 still writes the 1.6 format,
|
|
so it cannot produce (but only interpret) LyX 2.0's new features.
|
|
|
|
Read on below what has been changed and fixed in this version apart from that.
|
|
Remaining known problems are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.
|
|
|
|
Anyone who intends to stick with the 1.6 series is strongly encouraged to
|
|
upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
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 1.6.10 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.10.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.10.tar.bz2
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.10.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.10.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will
|
|
also host the .bz2 versions):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.10.tar.gz
|
|
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.10.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.10.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.10.tar.gz
|
|
http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/unix/editors/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.10.tar.gz
|
|
http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.10.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt binaries (rpms for Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
|
|
installers) should soon be available at:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.10/
|
|
|
|
If you already have the sources of the previous release (1.6.8), you may
|
|
want to apply one of the following patches instead:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.10.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.10.bz2
|
|
|
|
Note that for this release, some binaries have been added that are not produced
|
|
by the patch.
|
|
|
|
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.10, you may either
|
|
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org),
|
|
or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/
|
|
|
|
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.
