Spread the love

LyX is a document layout system that is mainly used in academia, because it can easily compose formulas and shows an overview of the document structure. Unlike regular word processors, such as Microsoft Word, AbiWord and OpenOffice.org Writer, which use the wysiwyg principle, LyX uses wysiwym, as is also used in TeX/LaTeX and DocBook. For more information, we refer you to this page. The developers have released version 1.6.5 with the following announcement:

LyX 1.6.5 released.

We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.5. This is the fifth maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. The release comes with many fixes and improvements. A number of newly reported crashes were fixed, new layouts and modules were included and some long-standing requests were implemented (eg, a working LyX server on the Windows OS, finally enabling the communication with other applications such as JabRef on this platform as well ).

All users and distributors are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

Please find enclosed an announcement, some sources in tar.gz format (also .tar.bz2) and finally a gzipped patch (in .bz2 too). In a few days there should also be some binaries (mirror server).
