Dear LyX lovers,

It seems time has come for a final fix release to LyX 1.1.6. The first
preversion of 1.2.0 is around the corner (yes, we promise!), but
before having fun with exciting new feature, we thought we could propose
you a boring old fashioned stable version. 

The new version is faster with large files, fixes some old problems
with selections which could eventually lead to a crash, the infamous
"Greek characters do not display" bug on mandrake Linux and a lot of
other annoyances. There are even a (few) new features!  So, what are you
waiting for?

Standard 1.1.6 disclaimer: 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-1.1.6fix4.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.6fix4.tar.gz

The patch is available at

What's new
==========

** Updates

- add support for latin3, latin4 and latin9 encodings

- change the encoding for Estonian from latin4 to latin1, since it
  appears to be more suitable.

  This is useful for creating pdf files in T1 encoding

  extension `.lyx' is added if necessary

  tokens in the file
