Public release of LyX version 2.0.5 =================================== We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.5. This is the fifth maintenance release in the 2.0.x series.

We encourage all LyX users to 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.

The LyX team. http://www.lyx.org What's new in LyX 2.0.5 ======================= The View>Source widget now allows you to select the backend to display, e.g., LaTeX or XHTML, rather than the output format. The previous choice really made no sense: You didn't see a PDF there if you chose one of the PDF output formats, but rather LaTeX. This solves some long-standing issues with View>Source. There has been an important change in how the "language" lfun works. - "language " now toggles between languages (status quo ante LyX 2.0.2) - "language set" sets to language (meaning of "language " as of LyX 2.0.2) - "language [reset]" resets to the document language. - Menu functions are unchanged.
