Hello,

While LyX 1.2.0 development is coming along nicely, several bugs in
version 1.1.6fix2 make it necessary to release yet another update to
LyX 1.1.6. 

This third update fixes a number of annoying bugs, and improves speed
in large tabulars. The documentation has also been updated to reflect
the new interface of the 1.1.6 series.

Note that this version does not fix all the tabular problems
experienced by LyX 1.1.6 users. Many of these problems have been fixed
in our development tree, but require changes too important to be part
of a fix release.

You can get it at:

    ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.1.6fix3.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.6fix3.tar.gz

The patch is available at

    ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.1.6fix3.gz

RPMs for Redhat Linux are at 

    ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.1.6fix3/lyx-1.1.6fix3-1.i386.rpm
