Public release of LyX version 2.1.2.2 ===================================== We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.2.2. This is an emergency release for OSX only. It resolves additional problems that affect LyX on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) that were not addressed by the 2.1.2.1 release. Only users of OSX 10.10 should upgrade to this version. 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 2.1.2.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. The remainder of this file describes the 2.1.2 release, which was the second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. LyX 2.1.2 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 http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel lists.lyx.org) and ask. If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users lists.lyx.org). We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.2. The LyX team. http://www.lyx.org
