When you sick so sad you cry
And in crying, cry a whole leopard from your eye
If you angry so mad ye tongue burst and mouth juice run gall-bladder bitter
When you sick so sad, you place your face in the puddle of a layby
Waiting for lorry to splash it
And when you are inside the infinite misery jumper
Pulling it over and over your head
With no hope of ending
'Cos it replicating at the waistband
And you never get out
Then ee welcome
Then ee arth welcome

André Pönitz is not happy with Lars Gullik Bjønnes's name change :
> The best would probably be do create four rpms. (or three) > > ipzone-xforms > ipzone-qt > ipzone-common > ipzone-doc Ok. And what is the reasoning behind the change of LyX's name into 'ipzone'?
A new release of the stable version of LyX was made by Jean-Marc Lasgouttes early in the month. This release fixes a serious problem when configuration fails during build (/dev/null got deleted !), LyX zombies due to auto-save and a couple of other more minor bugs. It is suggested that if you build 1.2.2 that you check /dev/null is still present on your system.
Read the details in the announcement and download it from the usual place. CJK-LyX and LyX for Win32 1.2.3 are also available for download.
LyX 1.3.0 is close to hand. Lars has done some pre-releases to allow some wider testing. You can download the third pre-release here . Please give a try if you want to help with testing. Note that there are no Qt frontend RPMs yet available (though you can still build from source).
A number of the translations of LyX's interface are out of date with recent changes in CVS. If you can speak English and another language, please consider contacting us and helping with the translation effort. Currently da, de, es, and fi are all quite up to date. Other languages are lagging seriously behind.
CJK LyX is a version of LyX with support for Eastern languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (hence the name). It has existed as an external patch for a long time, mainly because the necessary changes were difficult to do, and not clean enough for the main distribution (requiring over-riding of X functions to display the characters in the menus etc.). In addition, the LyX core must use a multi-byte storage for text, and support for an "input method" is needed. Angus Leeming has been working with ChangGil Han, the maintainer of CJK LyX on cleaning up this work for eventual inclusion in the main LyX distribution. ChangGil is planning to submit patches for xforms support of input methods (input methods are X's mechanism for entering CJK-like text, necessary due to the large number of possible ideographs). Things are looking good for native support in the future.
This is just a partial list of some bugs recently fixed.
