It appears that mouse scrolling is broken on the Mac for LyX 1.6.7.  This
same problem is present in the alpha versions of 2.0 on the Mac, and it
looks like it slipped through the cracks for this release.

Any chance of a patch being released in the very near future to fix this
serious regression?

 Public release of LyX version 1.6.7
 ===

 We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.7. This is the eighth
 maintenance release in the 1.6.x series.

 From the list of fixes and improvements, we'd like to highlight
 particularly that this release irons out all known stability problems with
 Qt 4.6. LyX 1.6.7 is our first release that is supposed to run smoothly
 with Qt 4.6, so we urge all distributors who use that version to upgrade
 LyX as well.

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

 All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

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

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz

ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.7.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/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz

 Prebuilt binaries (rpms for Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
 installers) should soon be available at:

 If you already have the sources of the previous release (1.6.6.1), you may

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.7.bz2

 If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.7, you may either
 e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
 or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/

 If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a

Sorry all - false alarm.  For whatever reason, when I installed 1.6.7, the

So it turns out that scrolling and dialogue boxes work fine in 1.6.7.

 Public release of LyX version 1.6.7
 ===

 We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.7. This is the eighth
 maintenance release in the 1.6.x series.

 From the list of fixes and improvements, we'd like to highlight
 particularly that this release irons out all known stability problems with
 Qt 4.6. LyX 1.6.7 is our first release that is supposed to run smoothly
 with Qt 4.6, so we urge all distributors who use that version to upgrade
 LyX as well.

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

 All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

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

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz

ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.7.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/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.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/1.6.7/

 If you already have the sources of the previous release (1.6.6.1), you may
 want to apply one of the following patches instead:

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.7.bz2

 If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.7, you may either
 e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
 or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/

 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!

 What's new in version 1.6.7?
 

 ** Updates:
 ***

 * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT

 - New -f [--force-overwrite] command line flag. Without any argument (or

  from the command line. Using 'main' as argument, only the main file will
  be overwritten.

 - New preference setting for selecting what to do when existing files are
  going to be overwritten on export from the GUI.

 - Detect LyXBlogger, a LyX to WordPress Blog Publishing Tool, if installed
  (bug 6658). See http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyXBlogger.


 * USER INTERFACE

 - Layout and template file for document class article (IEEEtran) were

Sorry all - false alarm.  For whatever reason, when I installed 1.6.7, the
default LyX switched to 2.0alpha4 on my system, and I did not notice this.

So it turns out that scrolling and dialogue boxes work fine in 1.6.7.
Again, sorry for the false alarm.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.6.7 is released!

2010-07-15 Thread James C. Sutherland 
Sorry all - false alarm.  For whatever reason, when I installed 1.6.7, the
default LyX switched to 2.0alpha4 on my system, and I did not notice this.

So it turns out that scrolling and dialogue boxes work fine in 1.6.7.
Again, sorry for the false alarm.

James
