X-Git-Tag: 2.1.0rc1~343 X-Git-Url: https://git.lyx.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d350cc4f8b7c3ff6e634887c4833f5eb60e41a5b;p=lyx.git Add appdata.xml, provided by Matej Cepl. AppData is an emerging standard (hopefully not distro-specific) for the description of applications in various app stores. http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ is the home page of the standard. http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/09/27/frikin-awesome-apps-without-appdata/ is the call for providing new appdata.xml files. --- diff --git a/RELEASE-NOTES b/RELEASE-NOTES index 85790bc04a..087285ec65 100644 --- a/RELEASE-NOTES +++ b/RELEASE-NOTES @@ -49,9 +49,6 @@ Interface changes - The Advanced Find and Replace feature now supports cancel of a long search operation by hitting the ESC key. -- Linux desktop file specification and scalable icon has been - included in the tarball. - - The format pdf aka "PDF (ps2pdf)" was split in two formats: pdf aka "PDF (ps2pdf)" and pdf6 aka "PDF (graphics)". pdf6 is used for PDF files included as graphics.

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to + writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and + not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG).

+

LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the + ease of use of a graphical interface. This results in + world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a + fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like + academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of + scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation + come standard. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a + novel or a theatre play or film script. A broad array of ready, + well-designed document layouts are built in.

+

LyX is for people who want their writing to look great, + right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting + details, “finger painting” font attributes or futzing around + with page boundaries. You just write. On screen, LyX looks like + any word processor; its printed output — or richly + cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like + nothing else.
