Hello,

Just compiled lyx on Solaris 10 with QT 4.4.1, I get this (C locale)

QIconvCodec::convertToUnicode: using ASCII for conversion, iconv_open failed

At the first call, I got le lot of
X Error: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) 5
  Major opcode: 17 (X_GetAtomName)
  Resource id:  0x70757368
X Error: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) 5
  Major opcode: 17 (X_GetAtomName)
  Resource id:  0x64202f75

messages.

All is OK on Solaris 8 Qt 4.3.4

Apparently harmless, but...

[announce] preview test release of LyX 1.6.0rc2 for Windows

2008-08-29 Thread Uwe Stöhr

Hello LyX testers,

I uploaded an installer for the second release candidate of the upcoming LyX 
version 1.6.0 for Windows.

NOTE: LyX 1.6rc2 is not a stable release! That means it is stable enough for 
testing, but expect
inconsistencies and regressions. This preview release is build for interested 
LyX users who want
to check out the new features of LyX.

The new features of LyX are listed here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16

! THIS LYX VERSION SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE THAN TESTING !

-

The installer for this version can be downloaded from:
http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=15072

(General infos about the installer can be found here:
 http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller )

This LyX version can be installed side by side to an existing LyX 1.5 
installation when you uncheck
the installer option update the ".lyx" file extension settings. It will be installed 
as "LyX
1.6.0rc2".

Installer Changelog:
-
Version 4.08
- LyX 1.6rc2
  (list of current regressions: http://tinyurl.com/yu4the )
  (list of current crashes and critical bugs: http://tinyurl.com/653prg)
- new Catalan translation of the installer (thanks to Joan Montané)

!Important note!: Due to a bug in LyX you are first be able to export documents to e.g. PDF after 
opening the preferences dialog and clicking there on the save button.


happy testing and best regards
Uwe
