 We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.2.1.
 
 This is an emergency release for OSX only. It resolves problems that affect
 LyX on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) and, indeed, any program that depends upon the

 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.
 
 You can download LyX 2.1.2.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
 
 The remainder of this file describes the 2.1.2 release, which was the
 second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
 
 LyX 2.1.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
 even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
 a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage
 all LyX users to upgrade to this version.
 
 The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem
 that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0,
 sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes generally
 happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, usually a
 fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a crash when
 trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That bug has
 also been fixed.
 
 Do report your bugs, then! It really does help make LyX better, often in ways
 you might not expect.
 
 So, if you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.2, 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 and the LyX wiki, which lives at

 We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.2.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.1.2.1 Released

[Christopher Menzel]

I did a clean network install of Mountain Lion on a 2013 iMac last 
night, upgraded immediately to Yosemite, and then installed MacTeX 2014 
and LyX 2.1.2.1 first thing. After starting LyX from the GUI I still got 
the previewing bug where none of my .cls files could be found during the 
compile. As in earlier versions, I had to start LyX from the command 
line and reconfigure to fix the problem. Starting LyX from with the GUI 
now works normally.


No such problems with an installation of 2.1.2.1 on an established 
install of Yosemite on a rMBP (on which I'd done the command line trick 
with an earlier version).

I found Edit/Text Style/Spotlight.  This produces a yellow oval.  But how do I

The form and color of the spot can be modified globally or per token.

How?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.1.2.1 Released

[Christopher Menzel]

I did a clean network install of Mountain Lion on a 2013 iMac last 
night, upgraded immediately to Yosemite, and then installed MacTeX 2014 
and LyX 2.1.2.1 first thing. After starting LyX from the GUI I still got 
the previewing bug where none of my .cls files could be found during the 
compile. As in earlier versions, I had to start LyX from the command 
line and reconfigure to fix the problem. Starting LyX from with the GUI 
now works normally.


No such problems with an installation of 2.1.2.1 on an established 
install of Yosemite on a rMBP (on which I'd done the command line trick 
with an earlier version).

We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.2.1.

This is an emergency release for OSX only. It resolves problems that affect
LyX on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) and, indeed, any program that depends upon the
passing of environment variables to sub-processes. Only users of OSX 10.10
should upgrade to this version.

lyx+beamer+beamerspot.module usage

[Neal Becker]

I installed beamerspot.module 
http://www.spitzmueller.org/tools/lyx/beamerspot.module
But not sure about usage.

I found Edit/Text Style/Spotlight.  This produces a yellow oval.  But how do I 
customize?

According to http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Modules:

"The form and color of the spot can be modified globally or per token."

How?

dictionary not found

[Marcelo Acuña]

hello,  I have lyx 2.1.2 compiled in debian linux.  I can`t get that 
spellcheckers work. I have installed all components of myspell, enchant 
(development librarys included) and dictionarys but when I start a run of the 
spellchcker I get a dictionary not found message. All other functions of lyx 
work properly.

Does enchant work from the command line?   
 
   enchant -l  

should list all the spelling errors in .
