Public release of LyX version 1.2.3 |
|---|
| 2 |
=================================== |
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 |
We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.2.3. |
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 |
LyX 1.2.3 is a maintenance release. It mainly fixes a very bad bug |
|---|
| 7 |
where configuring LyX as root could lead to deleting the /dev/null |
|---|
| 8 |
special device (this does not impact users of prebuilt binaries). |
|---|
| 9 |
Also, a bug where LyX would create zombie processes has been fixed. |
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 |
In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what |
|---|
| 12 |
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject: |
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 |
LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages an |
|---|
| 15 |
approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their |
|---|
| 16 |
appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving details of |
|---|
| 17 |
visual layout to the software. |
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 |
LyX runs on many Unix platforms (including MacOS X), OS/2, and under |
|---|
| 20 |
Windows/Cygwin. Note that all these ports use the same xforms interface |
|---|
| 21 |
and therefore need an X server. |
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 |
