Public release of LyX version 1.5.6
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.6. This is the fifth
|
|
maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle that has been started exactly
|
|
one year ago. The aim of this release was to make LyX even more robust
|
|
and to solve some long-standing annoyances. Also, further translation
|
|
efforts have been made, and LyX now ships in 23 languages.
|
|
|
|
All users 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.
|
|
|
|
With this release, the LyX 1.5.x series reaches its peak, while the next
|
|
major milestone, LyX 1.6.0, is already in sight. Expect, however, at least
|
|
one more minor release in the 1.5.x series, which will be released in
|
|
parallel to 1.6.0 and which will be able to import LyX 1.6.x documents.
|
|
|
|
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 1.5.6 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.5.6.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.5.6.tar.bz2
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.6.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.6.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will
|
|
also host the .bz2 versions):
|
|
|
|

|
|
installers) should soon be available at

What's new in version 1.5.6?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
** Updates:
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
|
|
|
|
- New (and complete!) Ukrainian localization of the user interface.
|
|
|
|
- Updated localization of the user interface for Czech, French, Galician,
|
|
German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Japanese.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
|
|
|
|
- New layout and template files for the Journal of Statistical Software
|
|
(JSS).
|
|
|
|
- The importer for comma separated value (*.csv) files has been rewritten.
|
|
Now the column separator character is automatically detected.
|
|
Furthermore, the feature has been renamed to "Import->Table (CSV)".
|
|
|
|
- Paragraph line spacing settings are now imported when importing LaTeX
|
|
files (bug 20).
|
|
|
|
- The paper orientation is now imported when importing LaTeX files.
|
|
|
|
- The paper layout and the number of text columns are now imported when
|
|
importing LaTeX files (bug 4867).
|
|
|
|
- Add support for the xindy index processor (bug 4732).
|
|
|
|
- Add support for Graphviz Dot files (bug 4882).
|
|
|
|

|
* USER INTERFACE
|

|
|
|
|
- Implement properly word-movement code for both windows and mac
|
|
conventions (bugs 2815 and 3580). This uses the new lyxrc variable
|
|
\mac_like_word_movement, which is set to true by default on Mac OS X.
|
|
It could be useful to emacs nostalgics too.
