Looks like the first release in 5 years. Seems like the same maintainer,
and since there hasn't been any emergency release in the past few
months, I would guess it's safe. Does anyone else have an opinion?

By the way, I wonder if it would be nice to collect all of our
dependencies and to check for new versions e.g. before beta1 and update
everything all at once. Do we have such a list?

upgrading to libiconv 1.15 for LyX 2.3

2017-09-10 Thread Uwe Stöhr
While reporting compiler warnings in libiconv 1.14 I noticed that 
version 1.15 was released in February this year. So I grabbed the 
sources from

https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/
and updated them in our git master.

It compiles fine and works fine here.
I don't know about Linux. If it is uncritical I opt to upgrade libiconv 
also for LyX 2.3.0 before we release it. What do you think?
