Emergency Release for 2.3.5: LyX 2.3.5.2 released.
June 30, 2020
This is an emergency release to fix bug number 11889, which reverse
quoation marks in some cases when hyperref is enabled. It is otherwise
unchanged from the release of LyX 2.3.5.
Fifth Maintenance Release in 2.3.x Series: LyX 2.3.5 released.
June 7, 2020
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.3.5. This is the fifth
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
LyX 2.3.5 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
more reliable and more stable. Most of the changes are incremental, but
quite a few important bugs have now been fixed. One important change is
that Inkscape 1.0 is now supported: It will be detected and configured
automatically. Users of previous versions have recently reported
configuration failures when Inkscape 1.0 is installed, leading to an
incomplete (and all but unusable) installation of LyX. This should also
be fixed.
Emergency Re-Release of 2.3.4: LyX 2.3.4.2 released.
February 12, 2020
This is an emergency release that fixes four bugs in 2.3.4. Only the
first two really warrant an emergency release, but while we're at it...
The first, bug #11728, caused a five-second delay when attempting to
save files on Windows. This was a side effect of the fix for #10091 and
reminds us why it would be good to have more testing on Windows.
The second bug is discussed in this thread and concerns a crash related
to the math toolbar. This was due to an uninitialize buffer_ member
revealed by the fix for #11586.
The third, bug #11724, affects Beamer presentations and causes bad
output when page geometry is set in certain ways. LyX should and now
does ignore such settings.
The last, bug #11579, is an old one, but a serious one, that prevents
the use of CJKUtf8 in ERT. It's a straightforward fix for a bug that is
pretty serious for people who encounter it.
Fourth Maintenance Release in 2.3.x Series: LyX 2.3.4 released.
January 31, 2020
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.3.4. This is the fourth
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
LyX 2.3.4 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
more reliable and more stable. One important change is that we have
finally fixed a large number of bugs related to bibitems (see bug
#7548). We have also (we hope) fixed a long-standing bug involving the
saving of files on Windows to Dropbox folders.
Third Maintenance Release in 2.3.x Series: LyX 2.3.3 released.
June 25, 2019
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.3.3. This is the third
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
LyX 2.3.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
more reliable and more stable. One important change is that emergency
files are now renamed when users wish to save them. As a result, older
emergency files are not over-written. One major update allows for the
editing of the contents of the user-provided premable, and the contents
of ERT insets, in external editors, a request that goes back to 2003 and
bug #991. See the announcement for more information.
pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.
Second Maintenance Release in 2.3.x Series: LyX 2.3.2 released.
December 14, 2018
LyX 2.3.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. One main fix involves a crash with external viewers
on Windows. We have also fixed a number of problems with the output of right-
to-left languages, thanks to the involvement of users. There was also an
infinite loop bug connected with the separation of environments that has been
fixed. But, for the most part, the fixes here are incremental.
First Maintenance Release in 2.3.x Series: LyX 2.3.1 released.
September 16, 2018
LyX 2.3.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and added some new
features. Perhaps the most important of these is that Jean-Marc Lasgouttes
re-wrote the document painting mechanism.
This makes LyX snappier, especially on repeated events.
All python scripts distributed with LyX should now be compatible with both
python 2.x and python 3.x.
New Stable Series: LyX 2.3.0 released.
March 16, 2018
LyX 2.3.0 is the culmination of two years of hard work. An overview
of the new features can be found here:
