Public release of LyX version 2.3.0 Windows Installer ========================================
We are pleased to be able to announce the release of Windows installers for LyX 2.3.0. Due to a bug in MiKTeX, installation of LyX 2.3.0 can sometimes cause the MiKTeX installation to be corrupted. We highly recommend that MiKTeX users update to the latest version *before* installing LyX 2.3.0. (If you run into problems, the solution will be to uninstall MiKTeX and then re-install.) (See https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/82 for more info.) Below is the original announcement for 2.3.0. Public release of LyX version 2.3.0 ========================== With this release, LyX celebrates 22 years of existence. The 2.3 series has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series. LyX 2.3.0 is the culmination of two years of hard work. An overview of the new features can be found here: https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX23 You can download LyX 2.3.0 from https://www.lyx.org/Download/. For Windows users, if you installed a pre-release of LyX 2.3.0, you should uninstall that version before installing this newer release. We hope you will enjoy the result! If a file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with any version of 2.3.x, then the original file will automatically be backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the backup file will be: ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~ where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of a 2.2.x file, this will be 508, but in the case of older files it will be different. The file lib/RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared to the current stable releases (LyX 2.2.x). We strongly recommend that packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file. As with any major release, this one comes with a lot of new features but also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.0, either email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome . Please specify if the behavior you are reporting is different from behavior in a previous LyX version. If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). The LyX team. https://www.lyx.org
