Changelog for LyX-2051-5:

  several global indexes in a LyX document.)

  but LaTeX should be used (does not affect the bundle installer)
- updated to GhostScript 9.07


Changelog for LyX-2051-4:

  LaTeX-packages required by LyX takes now much less time and you get a visual feedback
  about the installation process.

- don't overwrite the MiKTeX package repository from where missing packages will be installed

Nothing changed except of LyX.


Changelog for LyX-205-5:
Bugfixes:
- fix bug that installer stopped working if LyX was installed
  the first time on a computer
- fix failing installation of Slovakian spellcheck dictionary
- prevent case that the installer could run an infinite loop if the
  installation of dictionaries was interrupted

  used to compile the installer

  (Especially if LyX is installed the first time, the package installation can take several minutes.
   Now the installer prints in the progress window the name of the package that is currently installed.)
- the installer supports now the usage of TeXLive as LaTeX distribution.
  (TeXLive must be manually installed before LyX.) 
- updated spell-checker dictionaries for Scottish and Swedish
  (To benefit from them you must uninstall an already installed LyX 2.0.x and
   then use this installer.)
- updated thesaurus for Slovenian
  (need to reinstall LyX to benefit from this)
- updated Hungarian, Indonesian and Swedish translation of the installer messages
- new Basque translation of the installer messages


Changelog for LyX-205-4:
- support to update the view as PDF if Adobe Reader XI is used

  not the default PDF viewer of the system while LyX was installed, but
  became later the default PDF viewer
