Re: [ANNOUNCE]: LyX 1.5.4 is released, problem with the ftp site
I cannot succeed getting 1.5.4 binaries. If I click on the link, ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.4/, the answer is some data cannot be read or written If I try an ordinary anonymous ftp session, the outcome is as follows: apcjk[61]:~ ftp ftp.lyx.org Connected to ftp.lyx.org. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection. If I click on the binary link on the lyx web page, nothing happens. Am I the only one to have this problem? Jean Kaplan Le 24 févr. 08 à 14:20, Jürgen Spitzmüller a écrit : Public release of LyX version 1.5.4 We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.4. This is a maintenance release. Besides the usual stability improvements and fixes, this release comes with major improvements in the handling of Chinese, Korean and Japanese (CJK) languages and scripts, and introduces some minor new features (such as a character count option). While this release continues the stable 1.5.x series, work on the next major release, 1.6.0, is proceeding. A first alpha version of LyX 1.6.0 will be released later this week for those who like the bleeding edge experience. Notwithstanding this, expect one or two more 1.5.x versions to be released, of which the last one will be able to read the 1.6 format. All users, especially CJK users, are encouraged to upgrade to this version. Caveat: We were forced to switch from the LaTeX package 'floatflt' to 'wrapfig' for wrap figure floats due to a license problem that limited the availability of the former package. In general, this should improve your documents containing wrap figures, however, it is possible that the look and positioning of the floats changes due to the package change. If you have documents with wrap floats, please make a backup before upgrading and check the output. 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 1.5.4 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, which yields smaller files): ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.5.4.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.5.4.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.4.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.5.4.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/lyx-1.5.4.tar.gz http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/lyx-1.5.4.tar.gz ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/ lyx-1.5.4.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.5.4.tar.gz http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/unix/editors/lyx/stable/ lyx-1.5.4.tar.gz http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.5.4.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/1.5.4/ If you already have the LyX 1.5.2 sources, you may want to apply one of the following patches instead ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.5.4.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.5.4.bz2 Note that this patch will not produce valid LyX/Mac sources, since some binary files have been added for this release. If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.5.4, 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/.
