This is the eighth +and final maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. LyX 2.4.0 will be released +very shortly, so many users may wish to wait for that rather than upgrading +to 2.3.8. Some users, however, may want or need to continue using the 2.3.x +series. We encourage those users to upgrade to this version. + +You can download LyX 2.3.8 from https://www.lyx.org/Download/. + +LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based +on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is +released under a Free and Open Source Software license. + +LyX 2.3.8 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version +more reliable and more stable. Several bugs and crashes have been fixed here, +but the main addition is the ability to import and export files in the new +2.4.x format. + +If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.8, please open a bug report at +https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it +really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel +<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask. + +If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation +that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which +is at https://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the +LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org), where you will find an +active community of people who are ready to help. + +We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.8. + +The LyX team. +https://www.lyx.org + + +What's new +========== + +** Updates: +*********** + +* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT + +- Fix nested underwave (\uwave) (bug 12922). + +- Update lilypond converter settings (bug 12618). + + +* USER INTERFACE + +- Add a few missing autocorrect combinations and allow cycling through arrows + (bug 12711). + +- Reflect in the on-screen representation of math insets the fact that some + insets, such as \text, \mbox, \fbox and \makebox, inherit the text font + of the containing inset (bug 12950). + + +* LYX2LYX + +- Allow for import and export to the 2.4.x format. + + +* BUILD/INSTALLATION + +- Adding binary path for Homebrew on MacOS-arm64 (bug 12619). + + +** Bug fixes: +************* + +* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT + +- Fix leaking of linespace settings between paragraphs if they have + different alignment (bug 12638). + +- Do not load mathrsfs if unicode-math is required (bug 12734). + + +* USER INTERFACE + +- Avoid crashing on a recursive macro definition (bug 12633). + +- Fix several problems where insets did not react on click on + the Mac (bugs 12279, 12418, 12820). + +- Fix issue with on-screen instant preview and the mathpazo package. + +- Hide multi-keystroke accelerators in Mac menu (bug 12693). + + +* INTERNALS + +- Fix wrong computation of what is an obviously fake PID number. + +- remove a pair of static methods that were unused and hid another + one. + +- Fix crash when missing python3 on MacOS (bug 12523). + + +* LYX2LYX + +- Fixed a bug in reversion to 1.6. + + +* TEX2LYX + +- Fix import of umlauts and ß in math (bug 12739). + + +* BUILD/INSTALLATION + +- Update included boost library to version 1.75.0. + +- Fix warning when configuring with Qt 5.15.1x. + +- Do not halt compilation because of a too new autoconf or automake version. diff --git a/farm/cookbook/LyX/news.inc b/farm/cookbook/LyX/news.inc index e3cb21c8..fd8756f1 100644 --- a/farm/cookbook/LyX/news.inc +++ b/farm/cookbook/LyX/news.inc @@ -20,6 +20,25 @@ function news_data() { +news_item("LyX 2.3.8 released.", "Eighth Maintenance Release in 2.3.x Series", "May 17, 2024", +"<p>We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.3.8.
