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.

-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.

+but a couple crashes have been fixed, as well.
