We sincerely hope you will enjoy the -result. +You can download LyX 2.3.5 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. -As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly -visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and -some of the new features are the direct results of this work. +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. -The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in -http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16 +LyX 2.3.5 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more +reliable and more stable.

In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary - TeX typesetting engine makes you look good. +The LyX team. +http://www.lyx.org - On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or - richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like - nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all - looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably - different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating' - your dissertation the evening before going to press. - LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully - internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the - Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. +What's new +========== -You can download LyX 1.6.0rc2 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, -which yields smaller files): +** Updates: +*********** - ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc2.tar.gz - ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc2.tar.bz2 +* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT -Note that due to the amount of change, no patch is provided to upgrade -from version 1.5.6. +- Add layout file for revtex 4.2. -Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows -installers) should soon be available at - ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/ -If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.0rc2, you may either -e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open -a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org +* USER INTERFACE -If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, -first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/.
