Public release of LyX version 2.3.4
===
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.4. This is the fourth
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
You can download LyX 2.3.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
LyX 2.3.4 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. One important change is that we have finally fixed
a large number of bugs related to bibitems (see bug #7548). We have also (we
hope) fixed a long-standing bug involving the saving of files on Windows to
Dropbox folders.
If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.4, please open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
lists.lyx.org) and ask.
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
is at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
LyX users' list (lyx-users lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
active community of people who are ready to help.
We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.4.
The LyX team.
