Public release of LyX version 1.5.1
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.1. It includes a
|
|
few bug fixes and, more importantly, fixes a bug where files produced
|
|
with the Document>Compressed option on would be malformed on windows.
|
|
It was therefore decided to revert to the trusty 1.4.x code in this
|
|
area and release 1.5.1 sooner than anticipated.
|
|
|
|
All 1.5.0 users are urged to upgrade to 1.5.1.
|
|
|
|
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 1.5.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.5.1.tar.bz2
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.1.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/lyx-1.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/lyx-1.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/unix/editors/lyx/stable/lyx-1.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.5.1.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/1.5.1/
|
|
|
|
If you already have the LyX 1.4.4 sources, you may want to apply one
|
|
of the following patches instead
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.5.1.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.5.1.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 1.5.1, 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!

- Fix output of LyX files on windows when Document>Compressed is set.
|
|
This is a dataloss bug that was the main reason for releasing 1.5.1
|
|
earlier than anticipated.
|
|
|
|
- Get rid of annoying LaTeX error after changing the document language
|
|

|
|
button.
|
|
|
|
- Fix pasting of a selection from other applications (X11 only).
|
|
|
|
- Coherent behaviour when inserting over a selection: now the selection
|
|
is always replaced by the insertion (bug 672).
|
|
|
|
- When inserting an URL over selected text, insert the selected
|
|
text in the URL inset (bug 683).
|
|

|
|
updating other controls in listings-related dialogs (bug 4053).

|
|
* DOCUMENTATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
* BUILD/INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
- scons now accepts SConstruct file from top source directory, which
|
|
can be a symbolic link to development/scons/SConstruct.
|
|
|
|
- LyX configuration script now checks for htlatex as an OpenDocument
|
|
converter, since some platforms have htlatex but not oolatex. It also
|
|
checks for oowriter as an OpenDocument viewer and editor.
|
|
|
|
- Fix building on Mac OS X when pkg-config is installed.
