Compared with the previous beta release we have fixed several bugs and added some improvements, namely a new inset to support code listings. We have enabled the converter file cache by default. Internally we have renamed files to follow a consistent name pattern, this will allow an easier navigation of the source code thus simplifying bug fixing. Compared with the latest stable release, this is the culmination of one year of hard work, and we sincerely hope you will enjoy the results. The changes are too numerous to summarize in a few words, with initial unicode support being the flagship among the new features, see the end of this announcement for details. As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and some of the new features are the direct results of this work. The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release compared to the latest stable release (LyX 1.4.4). An updated list of issues might later be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes 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 and the Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. You can download LyX 1.5.0beta3 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, which yields smaller files): ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.5.0beta3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.5.0beta3.tar.bz2 Note that due to the amount of changes no patch is provided to upgrade from version 1.4.4. Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows installers) should soon be available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/ If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.5.0beta3, 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). Enjoy! The LyX team. What's new in version 1.5.0 (beta 3)? * Unicode LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to encodings current available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8 encoding or such brand new typesetting systems as XeTeX. Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some areas still need a cleanup it is very likely that some bugs related to the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known bugs in LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel mailing list. * Integrated CJK support The very first result of the Unicode transition is that we have finally === message
