Here's a potential something. I hope I'm not wrong in listing latex import as "the" new feature since 0.12. But I *did* get the impression that that was the main reason 0.12.2 turned into 1.0. I feel like the description of the version is still a bit awkward. I wanted to compare it to 0.10.7 since that's what most people have... Also unfortunate: it seemed most logical to move the LGT to after the "how to get it", but that puts it near the bottom of the page. I think the LGT deserves better, but don't really know what to do about it. By the way, I linked to lyx-current.tar.gz, so Lars can't put this page up until he fixes ftp.lyx. Speaking of ftp, I linked to ftp.lyx.org, and to getit.html for mirrors. If I do that, though, there are *no* links to la1ad. Should that be on the getit.html page? I really don't like flashing banners, so I just made it an <h2>. Some might argue that we should put "Lyx has been released" even before "what is lyx". If so, we could easily cut & paste the two sections. But if we want the page not to be obsolete next week, maybe having "what is lyx" on top is still a good idea (as long as it's not too long a section). I hope a few people will proofread this, since we're hoping to get a bunch of hits to this page. (Lars, it might be fun to take a daily snapshot of the number of hits you've gotten, and see if it changes when the press releases come out. Slashdot has a link today to a paper examining the slashdot effect, which shows that hits went up to I think 250/minute within like 15 minutes of posting on slashdot.) Incidentally, I suppose if you put this file in, you'll need to replace the hits script, right? Because my copy has a certain number of hits. I really don't know anything about hit counters... -AmirTitle: LyX - The Document Processor

What is LyX?![]() Technically this is done by combining the comfortable interface of a WYSIWYG word processor with the high quality output of LaTeX, one of the most popular typesetting systems available. No knowledge of LaTeX is required to use LyX. Read more here. LyX version 1.0 has been released!As promised, LyX v1.0.0 was released on February 1, 1999. LyX version 1.0 has a few new features since version 0.12.0, including importing LaTeX files. Compared to the more widely released 0.10.7, version 1.0 is an immense improvement. Lots and lots of new features have been added, speed has improved, documentation has been rewritten basically from scratch -- the list of improvements is too long to mention here. Check out the WHATSNEW and CHANGES files in the distribution, or look at the Features page. How to get LyXLatest Stable ReleaseHere's a link to the latest stable sources at the main LyX site in France: lyx-current.tar.gz. There are also mirrors available. Check the "How to get it" page.Pre-releases (if any) of new stable versions are here. Also, you can get the very latest bugfixes from the LyX developer's site via anonymous CVS.Development versions
Development releases are not for general use because they are by definition unstable and the probability of losing your work is high. Nevertheless, development releases are useful for a number of other purposes: You can use them to check out what direction LyX is moving in. You can become a beta-tester and find bugs. Or, you can give a hand and write some code to implement your favourite missing feature. The development version can be found on www.devel.lyx.org, as can other information for developers. The LyX Graphical TourNew! Our Doc Team has produced an excellent Graphical Tour of LyX, which demonstrates some of the key features of LyX in a graphical way. Check it out! What about KLyX?KLyX is a port of LyX version 0.12.0 to KDE done primarily by Matthias Ettrich and Kalle Dalheimer. Read more about this on our LyX vs. KLyX page. |
