We encourage all users of +2.2.2 to upgrade to this version. + + +What's new in version 2.2.2? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.2.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.2.x series. + +We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. +Most of these are relatively minor, but we nonetheless encourage all +users of 2.2.1 to upgrade to this version. + +Perhaps the most important bug we fixed affected use of covington.sty with +2.2.1. This will only have affected users of the Linguistics module. + +One new feature is the use of the "scaling" option when exporting images +for XHTML. This does not work the same way as with LaTeX export. What it +does is add something like "width: 50%" to the style attribute. This will +ordinarily be interpreted by the browser as a percentage relative to the +current element. + + +What's new in version 2.2.1? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.2.1 is the first maintenance relase in the 2.2.x series. + +A large number of bugs have been fixed since the 2.2.0 release. +We are pleased to say that most of these were relatively minor: +LyX 2.2.0 was perhaps the stable major version release we have +produced in a some time. Nontheless, we encourage all users of +2.2.0 to upgrade to this version. + + +What's new in version 2.2.0? +---------------------------- + +The new features in LyX 2.2 are detailed in +http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX22 + +* HiDPI display support +* Qt5 support +* New text display algorithm +* Horizontal scrolling for large insets +* Improved control of paragraph breaks +* Improved text color support +* Improved box dialog +* Improved table context menu +* Reworked instant preview +* Enhanced source panel +* Improved outliner and navigation menu +* Enhanced language support +* New supported languages +* New supported LaTeX commands +* Layout enhancements +* Module enhancements +* New preferences settings +* New converters + + +What's new in version 2.1.5? +---------------------------- + +We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. Many +of these were minor, but there were a few crashes we fixed, too. + +Please note that this is the final release in the 2.1.x series. It is +intended for users who for some reason do not wish to upgrade to 2.2.x +at this time. We strongly encourage all such users to upgrade to this +version. + +One of the main features of 2.1.5 is its ability to read and write files +in the 2.2.x format. Since the conversion process back and forth usually +will not leave one with an identical file, however, we do not recommend +attempting to collaborate with users of 2.2.x. + + +What's new in version 2.1.4? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.1.4 is the fourth maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. + +A large number of bugs have been fixed. Many of these were minor, but +there were a few crashes we fixed, too, so we encourage all LyX users +to upgrade to this version. + + +What's new in version 2.1.3? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.1.3 is the third maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. + +A large number of bugs have been fixed, most of them fairly minor. But +there were several additional improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion +program that should make import of older beamer documents more reliable. + + +What's new in version 2.1.2? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.1.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. + +The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem +that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, +sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes generally +happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, usually a +fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a crash when +trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That bug has +also been fixed. + +There are also several other, smaller bug-fixes, including several more +improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion scripts. This should make the import +of older beamer documents easier. + + +What's new in version 2.1.1? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.1.1 is the first maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. It is bug- +fixing release, and a whole lot of bugs have been fixed. Please see the +release announcement for the details. + +Several users have reported seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, sometimes +resulting in dataloss. These crashes appear to happen when the user attempts +to save a file, and the dataloss occurs because the original LyX file is over- +written by a corrupt file that then cannot be opened. The seemingly random +crashes, we believe, are due to auto-save, which is enabled or disabled in +Tools> Preferences> Document Handling > "Backup documents every...minutes". + +Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the cause of this bug, though all +known reports seem to involve documents that contain tables, and the corrupt +file always ends with: \begin_inset Tabular. + +To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user +has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before +attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup). +Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored. + + What's new in version 2.1.0? ----------------------------
