This pre-release is meant for testing and should not be used for -serious work. For curious users who would like to test in order to help catch -bugs before the 2.3.0 release, please back up all of your documents and be -prepared for the worst to happen. Most users (who desire a stable LyX version) -should not use this pre-release. - -The 2.3 series has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable -series. An overview of the new features can be found here: - - https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX23 - -You can download LyX 2.3.0rc2 from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/ or -from a mirror listed at https://www.lyx.org/Download#toc11. - -We appreciate your help in testing this pre-release! - -If a file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with -any version of 2.3.x, then the original file will automatically be -backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one -is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as -the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the -backup file will be: - ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~ -where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of -2.2.x file, this will be 508, but in the case of older files it will be -different. - -The file lib/RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared -to the current stable releases (LyX 2.2.x). We strongly recommend that -packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file. - -As with any major release, this one comes with a lot of new features but -also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.0rc2, either -email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), -or open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. -Please specify if the behavior you are reporting is different from behavior -in a previous LyX version. - -If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the -documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you -will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/.

This is the first +maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. + +You can download LyX 2.3.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. + +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 2.3.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more +reliable and more stable. + +All python scripts distributed with LyX should now be compatible with both +python 2.x and python 3.x. + +One oft-requested enhancement was to restore a keyboard shortcut for opening +the 'settings' menu of graphics, reference, etc, insets. This is now Control- +Alt-i, on Windows and Linux, and Control-Option-i on OSX (assuming you are +using the default keybindings). + +If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.1, please open a bug report at +http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it +really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel + lists.lyx.org) and ask. + +If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation +that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which +is at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the +LyX users' list (lyx-users lists.lyx.org), where you will find an +active community of people who are ready to help. + +We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.1.
