Re: Is it possible to insert bibliography after the appendices?

2008-11-14 Thread Nicolás
I am not sure if Charles' solution will always work. I myself had a similiar problem. I had several child documents, each of them 
describing a chapter of a book. One of the child documents had an appendix, and the result was that all the child documents (i.e. 
chapters) following the one with the appendix appeared as part of the appendix itself. In my case I was using the memoir class. To 
solve the problem I used \begin{subappendices} and \end{subappendices}, which is part of the appendix package that is natively 
supported by the memoir class. In your case I guess you should use \begin{appendices} and \end{appendices}. That is, forget about Lyx's 
support of appendices and insert those commands inside an ERT insert at the beginning and end of your appendix. You may also need to 
load the appendix package in the document preamble with \usepackage{appendix}.


Take a look here for more info:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=appendix

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Nicolás

Hi Manoj -

This has a pretty easy solution.  You can put the appendix into a child
document[s] (i.e. its own Lyx file or files).  Then, in your thesis, you can
do
Insert  File  Child Document
There will be a small gray box in your Lyx document that now represents the
Appendix file.  Next, you can go to a line after that gray box and do
Insert  List / TOC  BibTeX Bibliography (or whatever you want to put after
the Appendix)
and make sure its gray box goes after the Appendix's gray box.  I just
tested this out to make sure it works OK using LyX 1.5.6.

(Note that if you are using macros in your Appendix, you'll have to also
include those in the document before you run the latex part.  You could even
put those macros in their own file and include them as a child document.)

Hi!

This is related to LyX 1.6 on Windows. When I enter into full-screen mode (pressing F11) when no document is opened (i.e. just the 
welcome screen with the LyX logo is visible), I cannot go back. Nothing works. Neither F11 nor Ctrl-Q nor any other thing. LyX hangs

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.5.7 is released

2008-11-14 Thread Jürgen Spitzmüller
Public release of LyX version 1.5.7


We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.7. This is the sixth
maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle and it is expected to be the final
release in this series, since a new series of stable releases has just been
introduced by our new major release, LyX 1.6.0. Besides the obligatory bug
fixes, the main feature of this release is the ability to read files created
by LyX 1.6.0 (this feature requires python 2.3.4 or newer).

All users who intend to stick with the 1.5.x series for the time being are
encouraged to upgrade to this version.

A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.

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 1.5.7 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.7.tar.bz2

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

ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz

http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.7/

If you already have the sources of the previous release, you may want to apply
one of the following patches instead
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/patch-1.5.7.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/patch-1.5.7.bz2

If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.5.7, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a
question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find
the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!

The LyX team.

Re: Problems with Instant Preview in 1.6.0

A S wrote:

Hi,

Instant Preview doesn't work well for me with LyX 1.6.0. It only
displays certain parts of the maths formulas. In contrast, LyX 1.5.3
never had a problem with this (although some earlier versions did, as
well).
Can this be fixed somehow? Howcome it works with 1.5.3 but not 1.6.0
running on the same system?

Regards,
Alex



I just loaded a paper with a nontrivial number of nontrivial formulas 
into 1.6.0 (with IP on), and they all displayed correctly.  What OS are 
you running?  Does the problem occur if you turn IP on and then load the 
document, or only if you load the document (with IP off) and then turn 
IP on?  (I've noticed that if I turn IP on with a document open and then 
cursor into and out of a math inset to trigger IP, the inset I moved 
through sometimes turns invisible, as if IP is returning a null document 
as a rendition -- but other insets look ok, and if I unload/reload the 
document, it's fine.)  Lastly, are you saying that formulas are 
truncated, or just that certain characters go missing in the middle of a 
formula?  The latter might indicate a problem with your display fonts.

Hi everybody.

already being open or something), and I foolishly said no. I now have
the old version of the file, and was wondering how the auto-save feature
works.

In the preferences I have selected the check-box for Backup documents
(in Look and Feel = User Interface = Documents), and the period set to
every 5 minutes. Maximum last files is 16.

I found some files in $HOME/.lyx/backup, but the relevant file there
hasn't been touched since yesterday. There was a myfile.lyx.emergency
file in the directory, but it was empty (zero size). Can someone tell me
if these backup files may still exist somewhere, and if so, where? Or
have I obliterated them by saying no to those questions.

  
The emergency file is one LyX tries to create when it crashes. Seems 
like it didn't get a chance before the compiz crash shut it down completely.


I think it may be that you did obliterate the backup files. But it may 
be that you're not seeing them for some reason. Make sure you do an ls -a.

ACM Sigplan layout

2008-11-14 Thread Julio Rojas
Hi, I was testing the ACM Sigplan layout with a very basic document:
Title, author and some text. I rendered the PDF and only the text was
shown. While comparing the LaTeX code generated by LyX with this basic
document and the one using the included template, I saw that LyX fails
to add an empty line between the \authorinfo{} and the \maketitle. It
seems that just one empty line between them is not enough and you need
two empry lines between them. I'm attaching the short LyX document and
both, the correct LaTeX code and the incorrect one (generated by LyX).

Should I report it as a bug?

Configure Lyx, R, Sweave on OS X

2008-11-14 Thread mikeandkatedunbar

I am trying to get up and running with Lyx and R, using Sweave

I have achieved this on my Windows XP PC at work with MikTex. Great.

Lyx 1.6 is installed and I can generate dvi files from simple  
example .lyx files


R 2.8 is installed, I am up to the stage where R CMD Sweave foo.Rnw  
works, as does Latex foo.tex


kpsewhich Sweave.sty confirms that Latex can find Sweave.sty

I have followed the instructions in
http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/lyx/INSTALL
and copied files to the relevant locations into

And reconfigured / restarted Lyx

But whenever I open a test file such as

I get the same old message
“The layout file requested by this document, literate-article.layout,  
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file  
required by it is not available. ”


It seems like Lyx cannot find Sweave.sty, event though Latex can find  
it.


I'm at my wits end, so any advice on how to troubleshoot this would  
be very much appreciated. While I'm quite familiar with R, Lyx is  
very new to me.

(You can install both versions in parallel, and they will have separate

Specific converter and child documents

2008-11-14 Thread Tomasz Kołodziejski
Hi,

I wanted to create quite a big document. I use a lot inserting child
documents. I've created a script called latex_pl which inserts ~
between every letter a, e, i, o and so on. It's required by polish
typography. (for example - you shouldn't leave letter a alone on the
end of a line; nevermind)

So I've added that script into converters section somewhere in lyx
options. It works with no problem when I click pdflatex preview with a
single document. But when I click same button on a document with
inserts of child documents - it looks like they're compiling using
normal pdflatex not my modified one. Why? And how can I fix it?

By the way, thanks for 1.6!

Opening a 1.5.x doc requires that lyx2lyx, a Python script, be run.  Do 
you have the same installation of Python on both boxes (just the subset 
that Uwe bundles, or a full install on both)?  Also, you might check try 
converting a file manually on the Vista box, using a DOS shell.  This 
would look something like


C:\Program Files\LyX16\python\python.exe C:\Program

where doc.lyx is the old document.  If it works, the converted file will 
be written on screen.  I'm wondering if perhaps there's a permission 
problem accessing Python?

avoiding indentation within footnotes and adding vertical space under headings

2008-11-14 Thread Nicolas Triart
Dear All,

I am currently finalising my PhD dissertation in Law. I'm using Lyx 1.6 on
windows xp (no package yet for lyx 1.6 on my mandriva :-)) and would need
some help.
The class document I use is book (koma-script). The first think I would like
to do is to to avoid indentation within the footnotes. I guess this is
possible to do it with footmisc but I didn't manage to put the right
commands into my preamble until now. The second thing I would need to do is
to add extra vertical space under the subparagraph and paragraph headings to
make the space between these headings and the begining of the text of the
next paragraph more or less the same than between the section heading and
the begining of the next paragraph. I'm sure this is not complicated to do
but I am a bit running out of time and I must print the final document in a
few days so I would appreciate if someone could help me to sort this out.

Re: Is it possible to insert bibliography after the appendices?

2008-11-14 Thread Nicolás
I am not sure if Charles' solution will always work. I myself had a similiar problem. I had several child documents, each of them 
describing a chapter of a book. One of the child documents had an appendix, and the result was that all the child documents (i.e. 
chapters) following the one with the appendix appeared as part of the appendix itself. In my case I was using the memoir class. To 
solve the problem I used \begin{subappendices} and \end{subappendices}, which is part of the appendix package that is natively 
supported by the memoir class. In your case I guess you should use \begin{appendices} and \end{appendices}. That is, forget about Lyx's 
support of appendices and insert those commands inside an ERT insert at the beginning and end of your appendix. You may also need to 
load the appendix package in the document preamble with \usepackage{appendix}.


Take a look here for more info:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=appendix

Hope this helps

Cheers,

charles reid wrote:

Hi Manoj -

This has a pretty easy solution.  You can put the appendix into a child
document[s] (i.e. its own Lyx file or files).  Then, in your thesis, you can
do
Insert  File  Child Document
There will be a small gray box in your Lyx document that now represents the
Appendix file.  Next, you can go to a line after that gray box and do
Insert  List / TOC  BibTeX Bibliography (or whatever you want to put after
the Appendix)
and make sure its gray box goes after the Appendix's gray box.  I just
tested this out to make sure it works OK using LyX 1.5.6.

(Note that if you are using macros in your Appendix, you'll have to also
include those in the document before you run the latex part.  You could even
put those macros in their own file and include them as a child document.)

hi all,

 I am working on writing my dissertation and of the samples I have seen all
have the bibliography after the appendices. Is this possible in Lyx? I find
that LyX starts and Appendix section which extends till the end of the

an chapter number which I do not want. How do I go about setting this up?

Problem with full-screen mode: can you reproduce?

2008-11-14 Thread Nicolás

Hi!

This is related to LyX 1.6 on Windows. When I enter into full-screen mode (pressing F11) when no document is opened (i.e. just the 
welcome screen with the LyX logo is visible), I cannot go back. Nothing works. Neither F11 nor Ctrl-Q nor any other thing. LyX hangs 
and I have to kill it. Can someone reproduce this problem?

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.5.7 is released

2008-11-14 Thread Jürgen Spitzmüller
Public release of LyX version 1.5.7


We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.7. This is the sixth
maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle and it is expected to be the final
release in this series, since a new series of stable releases has just been
introduced by our new major release, LyX 1.6.0. Besides the obligatory bug
fixes, the main feature of this release is the ability to read files created
by LyX 1.6.0 (this feature requires python 2.3.4 or newer).

All users who intend to stick with the 1.5.x series for the time being are
encouraged to upgrade to this version.

A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.

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 1.5.7 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.7.tar.bz2

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

ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz

http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.7/

If you already have the sources of the previous release, you may want to apply
one of the following patches instead
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/patch-1.5.7.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/patch-1.5.7.bz2

If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.5.7, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a
question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find
the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!

The LyX team.


What's new in version 1.5.7?


** Updates:
***

* IMPORTING LyX 1.6.x DOCUMENTS

Re: Problems with Instant Preview in 1.6.0

Hi,

Instant Preview doesn't work well for me with LyX 1.6.0. It only
displays certain parts of the maths formulas. In contrast, LyX 1.5.3
never had a problem with this (although some earlier versions did, as
well).
Can this be fixed somehow? Howcome it works with 1.5.3 but not 1.6.0
running on the same system?

Regards,
Alex



I just loaded a paper with a nontrivial number of nontrivial formulas 
into 1.6.0 (with IP on), and they all displayed correctly.  What OS are 
you running?  Does the problem occur if you turn IP on and then load the 
document, or only if you load the document (with IP off) and then turn 
IP on?  (I've noticed that if I turn IP on with a document open and then 
cursor into and out of a math inset to trigger IP, the inset I moved 
through sometimes turns invisible, as if IP is returning a null document 
as a rendition -- but other insets look ok, and if I unload/reload the 
document, it's fine.)  Lastly, are you saying that formulas are 
truncated, or just that certain characters go missing in the middle of a 
formula?  The latter might indicate a problem with your display fonts.

Hi everybody.

I just had compiz (my Linux window manager) crash and subsequently I
lost about an hours work in lyx. When I restarted lyx (1.5.6 - under
ubuntu intrepid ibex) it asked some questions (I think about the file
already being open or something), and I foolishly said no. I now have
the old version of the file, and was wondering how the auto-save feature
works.

In the preferences I have selected the check-box for Backup documents
(in Look and Feel = User Interface = Documents), and the period set to
every 5 minutes. Maximum last files is 16.

I found some files in $HOME/.lyx/backup, but the relevant file there
hasn't been touched since yesterday. There was a myfile.lyx.emergency
file in the directory, but it was empty (zero size). Can someone tell me
if these backup files may still exist somewhere, and if so, where? Or
have I obliterated them by saying no to those questions.

  
The emergency file is one LyX tries to create when it crashes. Seems 
like it didn't get a chance before the compiz crash shut it down completely.


I think it may be that you did obliterate the backup files. But it may 
be that you're not seeing them for some reason. Make sure you do an ls -a.

ACM Sigplan layout

2008-11-14 Thread Julio Rojas
Hi, I was testing the ACM Sigplan layout with a very basic document:
Title, author and some text. I rendered the PDF and only the text was
shown. While comparing the LaTeX code generated by LyX with this basic
document and the one using the included template, I saw that LyX fails
to add an empty line between the \authorinfo{} and the \maketitle. It
seems that just one empty line between them is not enough and you need
two empry lines between them. I'm attaching the short LyX document and
both, the correct LaTeX code and the incorrect one (generated by LyX).

Should I report it as a bug?

Configure Lyx, R, Sweave on OS X

This does not appear to be a problem with Sweave.sty (at least, not

corrupted, or is incompatible with the new LyX 1.6 version. Have you 
tried with LyX 1.5.7?

This is because the document class expect to find noweb.sty (for real

required by it is not available. ”


Have you tried with LyX 1.5.7?
(You can install both versions in parallel, and they will have separate 
user directories.) Maybe it is that the layout-files don't work in 1.6.

Changing the keybindings in LyX 1.6.0 in Windows seems to work (at least
it does for me; the \bind command comes /after/ \unbind).

 You can manually edit the user.bind file as described in the bug

Another workaround is to put the \unbind and \bind commands in a user

Specific converter and child documents

2008-11-14 Thread Tomasz Kołodziejski
Hi,

I wanted to create quite a big document. I use a lot inserting child
documents. I've created a script called latex_pl which inserts ~
between every letter a, e, i, o and so on. It's required by polish
typography. (for example - you shouldn't leave letter a alone on the
end of a line; nevermind)

So I've added that script into converters section somewhere in lyx
options. It works with no problem when I click pdflatex preview with a
single document. But when I click same button on a document with
inserts of child documents - it looks like they're compiling using
normal pdflatex not my modified one. Why? And how can I fix it?

By the way, thanks for 1.6!

Tomek

Opening a 1.5.x doc requires that lyx2lyx, a Python script, be run.  Do 
you have the same installation of Python on both boxes (just the subset 
that Uwe bundles, or a full install on both)?  Also, you might check try 
converting a file manually on the Vista box, using a DOS shell.  This 
would look something like


C:\Program Files\LyX16\python\python.exe C:\Program 
Files\LyX16\Resources\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx doc.lyx


where doc.lyx is the old document.  If it works, the converted file will 
be written on screen.  I'm wondering if perhaps there's a permission 
problem accessing Python?

avoiding indentation within footnotes and adding vertical space under headings

2008-11-14 Thread Nicolas Triart
Dear All,

I am currently finalising my PhD dissertation in Law. I'm using Lyx 1.6 on
windows xp (no package yet for lyx 1.6 on my mandriva :-)) and would need
some help.
The class document I use is book (koma-script). The first think I would like
to do is to to avoid indentation within the footnotes. I guess this is
possible to do it with footmisc but I didn't manage to put the right
commands into my preamble until now. The second thing I would need to do is
to add extra vertical space under the subparagraph and paragraph headings to
make the space between these headings and the begining of the text of the
next paragraph more or less the same than between the section heading and
the begining of the next paragraph. I'm sure this is not complicated to do
but I am a bit running out of time and I must print the final document in a
few days so I would appreciate if someone could help me to sort this out.

Re: Is it possible to insert bibliography after the appendices?

2008-11-14 Thread Nicolás
I am not sure if Charles' solution will always work. I myself had a similiar problem. I had several child documents, each of them 
describing a chapter of a book. One of the child documents had an appendix, and the result was that all the child documents (i.e. 
chapters) following the one with the appendix appeared as part of the appendix itself. In my case I was using the memoir class. To 
solve the problem I used \begin{subappendices} and \end{subappendices}, which is part of the appendix package that is natively 
supported by the memoir class. In your case I guess you should use \begin{appendices} and \end{appendices}. That is, forget about Lyx's 
support of appendices and insert those commands inside an ERT insert at the beginning and end of your appendix. You may also need to 
load the appendix package in the document preamble with \usepackage{appendix}.


Take a look here for more info:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=appendix

Hope this helps

Cheers,

charles reid wrote:

Hi Manoj -

This has a pretty easy solution.  You can put the appendix into a child
document[s] (i.e. its own Lyx file or files).  Then, in your thesis, you can
do
Insert > File > Child Document
There will be a small gray box in your Lyx document that now represents the
Appendix file.  Next, you can go to a line after that gray box and do
Insert > List / TOC > BibTeX Bibliography (or whatever you want to put after
the Appendix)
and make sure its gray box goes after the Appendix's gray box.  I just
tested this out to make sure it works OK using LyX 1.5.6.

(Note that if you are using macros in your Appendix, you'll have to also
include those in the document before you run the latex part.  You could even
put those macros in their own file and include them as a child document.)

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.5.7 is released

2008-11-14 Thread Jürgen Spitzmüller
Public release of LyX version 1.5.7


We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.7. This is the sixth
maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle and it is expected to be the final
release in this series, since a new series of stable releases has just been
introduced by our new major release, LyX 1.6.0. Besides the obligatory bug
fixes, the main feature of this release is the ability to read files created
by LyX 1.6.0 (this feature requires python 2.3.4 or newer).

All users who intend to stick with the 1.5.x series for the time being are
encouraged to upgrade to this version.

A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.

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,

   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 1.5.7 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.7.tar.bz2

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

ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz

http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/1.5.x/lyx-1.5.7.tar.gz

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.7/

If you already have the sources of the previous release, you may want to apply
one of the following patches instead

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.5.x/patch-1.5.7.bz2

If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.5.7, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel  lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a
question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find
the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users  lists.lyx.org).

Re: Problems with Instant Preview in 1.6.0

Hi,

Instant Preview doesn't work well for me with LyX 1.6.0. It only
displays certain parts of the maths formulas. In contrast, LyX 1.5.3
never had a problem with this (although some earlier versions did, as
well).
Can this be fixed somehow? Howcome it works with 1.5.3 but not 1.6.0
running on the same system?

Regards,
Alex



I just loaded a paper with a nontrivial number of nontrivial formulas 
into 1.6.0 (with IP on), and they all displayed correctly.  What OS are 
you running?  Does the problem occur if you turn IP on and then load the 
document, or only if you load the document (with IP off) and then turn 
IP on?  (I've noticed that if I turn IP on with a document open and then 
cursor into and out of a math inset to trigger IP, the inset I moved 
through sometimes turns invisible, as if IP is returning a null document 
as a rendition -- but other insets look ok, and if I unload/reload the 
document, it's fine.)  Lastly, are you saying that formulas are 
truncated, or just that certain characters go missing in the middle of a 
formula?  The latter might indicate a problem with your display fonts.
