How do I upgrade my existing LyX system to version 1.1.2? --------------------------------------------------------- If you upgrade from version 0.12.0 or 1.0.x, you shouldn't have any problems. However, in the source we have begun a transition to use ANSI C++ more and this can make it hard or impossible to compile LyX on old or non-conformant compilers. If the compile is successfull everything should be just like in 1.0.4. Just run "make install", and it will automatically update the necessary files, provided that you install LyX the same place as an existing version. Document transfer ----------------- In general, you don't need to convert any documents saved with LyX v0.10, v0.12.0 or v1.0.x to use them with LyX v1.1.2. LyX v1.1.2 can read all documents saved with lyx-0.12.0 and later correctly. Documents saved with lyx-0.10.x are read correctly up to the old math mode, which is not supported anymore. If you have documents with such math formulas, you convert it using the program COLD, written by Preben Rhandol. COLD can be found at: http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/lyx/COLD/ ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/ or at one of LyX archive mirror sites listed in README. Documents saved with LyX version 1.1.2 can be read correctly by LyX v0.12.0 and v1.0.x, except for new features.
