Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2) ================================================== We are pleased to announce the second release candidate of LyX 2.0.0. Due to the numerous requests we added more sets of toolbar icons (based on Oxygen and LibreOffice themes) which can be easily changed in preferences. The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions. As with any major release we come with lot of new features but also bugs -- so while we encourage curious users to test this release, people who rely on solid and stable application should stay with 1.6 releases. Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker. Tarballs and binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/ LyX 2.0.0 will be culmination of more than two years of hard work and you can find an overview of the new features here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20 If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.0, either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX and http://wiki.lyx.org.
