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.
