I needed to raise a security exception (invalid data in the berlios
auto-certificate)


You can ignore this (or allow this page permanently). Berlios is a 
non-profit organization funded by the German government. It is therefore 
not able to pay for a certificate approved by VeriSign (or another company).

Besides this, the installer will soon also be available on ftp.lyx.org.

[announce] LyX 2.0alpha6 test release for Windows

2010-10-03 Thread Uwe Stöhr
Due to technical problems with third-party programs the Windows installer for LyX 2.0alpha 6 was 
delayed. Now it is available here:


https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=17943

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- !!! Don't use this LyX version for anything else than testing !!!

- The installer will ask you to update MiKTeX. It is recommended to deny this because of a bug in 
MiKTeX: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3067362&group_id=10783&atid=110783


- The installer comes with major updates of third-party programs:
  https://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=17943
This can cause problems with existing LyX 1.6.x installations. However, I have not yet encountered 
problems except of the next item.


- If your existing LyX 1.6.x installation is no longer able to handle image files correctly after 
installing this test release, then open the preferences dialog of LyX 1.6.x and change the path for 
ImageMagick and Ghostscript in the PATH-prefix to the paths used in the LyX 2.0alpha6 installation.


- If you encounter bugs in this LyX version. Please report them here:
  http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome

- The new features of LyX 2.0 are listed here:
