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 + https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg210294.html +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 how 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. + +All LyX users are encouraged to upgrade to 2.3.4-2. + +The original announcement for 2.3.4 follows. + +===== + +We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.4. This is the fourth +maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. + +You can download LyX 2.3.4 from http://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 2.3.4 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. + +If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.4, please open a bug report at +http://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 http://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 2.3.4. + +The LyX team. +http://www.lyx.org + + +What's new +========== + +** Updates: +*********** + +* USER INTERFACE + +- The "Rows & Columns" optional submenu has been added to the math context menu. + +- Avoid using text mode for unicode symbols representable in math mode (bug 9616). + +- Do not issue error dialog when no tag is found in git repository for + tree-revision info inset. + +- Fix display with Wayland (bug 11692). + +- Improve editing performance when there are Include insets that point to + non-existing files.
