+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.3. This is the third
maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
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.
-You can download LyX 2.1.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
+You can download LyX 2.1.3 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
-LyX 2.1.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
+LyX 2.1.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage
all LyX users to upgrade to this version.
-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.
-
-Do report your bugs, then! It really does help make LyX better, often in ways
-you might not expect.
-
-So, if you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.2, open a bug report at
