1 Public release of LyX version 2.2.1
2 ===================================
4 We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.1.
6 LyX 2.2.1 is the first maintenance released in the 2.2.x series.
8 LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
9 on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
10 released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
12 You can download LyX 2.2.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
14 LyX 2.2.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
15 reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number
16 of improvements. FILL IN
18 One important change is to the behavior of character styles. By default,
19 these now prohibit changes to the paragraph layout. Putting a description
20 inside a character style typically results in invalid LaTeX code, so this
21 makes certain mistakes harder to make. Power users who have taken advantage
22 of the previous behavior can restore it by adding "ForcePlain 0" to the
23 declaration of the character style, so long as this is done after "LyXType
24 charstyle" has been declared.
26 If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.2.1, please open a bug report at
27 http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
28 really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
29 <at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.
31 If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
32 documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
33 http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
34 users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org).
36 We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.2.1.
