Hi,
I installed the Win32 version of Lyx 1.4.2; it works nicely, and in
particular
the conversion from tex to lyx (finally!). However, I have a great problem:
after a latex compilation
to DVI (Ctrl+D), the latex logfile cannot be viewed. Is it a bug of the Lyx
version,
or a bug of my installation? Are there known solutions?
Thanks in advance

> Public release of LyX version 1.4.2
> ===================================
>
> We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.2. This is a bug fix
> release that improves performance, stability and native OS support.
> Notable new features include:
>
> - LyX now automatically uses file viewers and editors set at OS level
> [Windows and Mac OS X only].
>
> - The windows installer has been completely rewritten.
>
> - A new function buffer-toggle-compression (and corresponding entry in
> the Document menu) has been added to change whether the file will be
> compressed on disk or not.
>
> - A "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format has been added. This new output
> format produces .tex files that are suitable for pdflatex, including
> figure conversion to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.
>
> See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release.
>
> In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
> http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
>
> LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
> based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
> is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.
>
> LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
> right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
> details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing
> around with page
> boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof.
> Knuth's legendary
> TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
>
> On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed
> output -- or
> richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
> nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
> looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
> different on different printer drivers. Gone are the
> crashes 'eating'
> your dissertation the evening before going to press.
>
> LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
> internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the
> Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
>
> You can download LyX 1.4.2 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
> which yields smaller files):
>

> and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors
> (which will also host
> the .bz2 versions):

> installers) should soon be available at
> ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.2/

> lib/configure.py. The TexFiles.sh script (which crashed on Windows)
> has also been pythonified.
>
> - It is longer necessary to run lib/configure.py in the main LyX
> support directory.
>
> - Reading of configuration now goes like this: LyX first
> reads the file
> lyxrc.dist (if it exists). If lib/configure.py is newer than
> any of lyxrc.defaults, textclass.lst or packages.lst, it is re-run
> before loading lyxrc.defaults and preferences.
>
> - Automatically use fonts in the fonts/ subdirectory of the
> LyX support
> directory on Windows.
>
> - When compiling with --with-version-suffix on Windows, do not
> rename the executable files.
>
> - Fix lib/configure.py to find tex2lyx when compiling with
> --with-version-suffix (bug 2285).
>
> - Fix lib/configure.py to find tex2lyx if the path to it
> contains spaces.
>
> - Use the clean_dvi.py script on Windows not only in the
> installer but also
> in the source package.
>
> - Fix the code to find the localization of the interface on Windows
> and Mac OS X.
>
> - Fix hyphens in man pages.
>
> - Replace the \cygwin_path_fix_needed preference with the better named
> \tex_expects_windows_paths; this is auto-detected and
> matters only on
> Windows.
>
> - Remove the --enable-compression-support option of
> configure. Compression
> support via zlib is now a requirement.
>
> - Fix compilation on DragonFly BSD.
