[ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.1.1
Public release of LyX version 2.1.1 === We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.1. This is the first maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. 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. You can download LyX 2.1.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. LyX 2.1.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this version. Several users have reported seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, sometimes resulting in dataloss. These crashes appear to happen when the user attempts to save a file, and the dataloss occurs because the original LyX file is over- written by a corrupt file that then cannot be opened. The seemingly random crashes, we believe, are due to auto-save, which is enabled or disabled in Tools Preferences Document Handling Backup documents every...minutes. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the cause of this bug, though all known reports seem to involve documents that contain tables, and the corrupt file always ends with: \begin_inset Tabular. To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup). Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.1, either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org) or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.1. The LyX team. http://www.lyx.org What's new == ** Updates: *** * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT - We now flush the output stream more frequently, as a temporary measure to help us gather information about the crash mentioned above. - To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup). Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored. * DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION - Updated Chinese (simplified), French, Interlingua, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian user interface localizations. - updated French translation of the User Guide and the Math manual. ** Bug fixes: * * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT - Fix assertion when selecting in document with bi-directional text (bug 9142). - Fix assertion when accepting change (bug 9145). - Fix LaTeX error with alphabetic delimiters in inline Listings (part of bug 8985). - Fix output of deleted citations in change tracking mode (bug 8806). - Fix handling of multiple bibliography styles when using sectioned bibliography (bug 9060). - Fix problem converting layout files and modules when Flex inset names are quoted. - Honor the NextNoIndent layout parameter also in the exported output. - Output arguments required by arguments with DefaultArg or PresetArg (bug 9128). - Fix export from command line when included files have names with non-ascii characters. * LYX2LYX We have fixed several significant issues involving conversion of 2.0 format into 2.1 format, and conversely. This mostly affects the new argument insets and, in particular, beamer documents. These are detailed below. - Fix conversion of beamer block titles ending with non-ERT insets to 2.1 format. - Fix conversion of beamer blocks with preceding or trailing blanks. - Add \justification parameter when converting to 2.1 format (avoids warning when converting back to 2.0 format). - Fix conversion of argument insets from 2.1 to 2.0 format. - Fix use math package settings conversion from 2.1 to 2.0 format. - Fix use math package settings conversion from 2.0 to 2.1 format (bug 9069). - Fix table cell rotation conversion from 2.1 to 2.0 format. - Fix import of some argument insets. - Fix some nesting problems in reversion of some beamer environments to 2.0 format. * USER INTERFACE - Fix crash when right-clicking into an insets with more paragraphs than the main text (bug 9123). - Fix crash when entering math in change-tracking mode while merge changes dialog is open (bug 7685). - Fix crash when CheckTeX hits mathed (bug 8798). - Fix crash when performing Change Case operation on a selection with font changes (bug 7943). - Fix crash involving certain sorts of BibTeX files (bug 9112). -
