Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.6.7 is released!
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!
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?

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.6.7 is released!
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.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/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 ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/unix/editors/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz http://lyx.mirror.fr/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.gz 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 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 lists.lyx.org). Enjoy! The LyX team. What's new in version 1.6.7? ** Updates: *** * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT - New -f [--force-overwrite] command line flag. Without any argument (or with 'all' as argument) all files are silently overwritten on export 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 updated for IEEEtran 1.7a. - Do not unnecessarily truncate the text of notes, footnotes and marginals (bug 6672, part 1). - Tooltips are added to the outliner (bug 6672, part 2). - Add GUI support for big delimiters variants without 'l', 'm' or 'r' endings and for '<' and '>' with all variants. * DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION - New Greek translation of the Intro manual. - Updated Basque, Czech, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese and Slovak user interace localizations. - Major update of the Basque User's Guide, Tutorial and Intro. - Updated Japanese Additional LyX Features manual. - Updated French User's Guide, Additional LyX Features, Embedded Objects and Math manual as well as
