I am glad to announce LyX 1.1.4fix3, which is the third maintenance patch against LyX 1.1.4. Note that you should apply patch-1.1.4fix1 and patch-1.1.4fix2 before 1.1.4fix3. The purpose of these maintenance releases is to backport the small bugs found during development in the latest stable release. All of the fixes provided here have already been applied to our main cvs tree. You can get it at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.1.4fix3.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/patch-1.1.4fix3.gz and soon on mirror sites. Have fun. JMarc Problems fixed by this patch: ----------------------------- This patch fixes the following problems in LyX 1.1.4fix2 (these are in fact bugs of LyX 1.1.4 which were not fixed by the 1.1.4fix[12] patches): * LyX often crashed after repeated use of the backspace key. This problem actually existed since long ago in the program, but did not strike very often before version 1.1.4. This is probably the main reason why you will want to apply this patch. * error insets were not removed correctly, which caused the removal or nearby characters in the documents. This is a serious problem too. * filenames for images in docbook mode where truncated * font tags for SGML output were wrong. * -lintl was not added on the link list when compiling on system which have gettext installed, but not in libc. * one header file contained C++ comments, whereas it is compiled with a C compiler. Prebuilt Linux binaries: ------------------------ As usual Kayvan A. Sylvan has prepared Linux RPMs. The lyx-1.1.4 RPMS are: ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.4-fix3.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/tetex-lyx-1.1.4-fix3.i386.rpm Those two RPMS are the only ones most people will need to install. Additional RPMS (for those who want to rebuild from a source RPM or who want to install a debuggable binary): ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.4-fix3.src.rpm ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/lyxgdb-1.1.4-fix3.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/lyxgdb-1.1.4-fix3.src.rpm Building by hand: ----------------- Since the changes in the configure script trigger some automake magic, do the following to apply the patch cd lyx-1.1.4pre2 make distclean zcat patch-1.1.4fix3.gz | patch -p1 touch Makefile.in */Makefile.in src/config.h.in Then rebuild LyX as usual.
