LyX version 1.0 has a few new features since version 0.12.0, including importing LaTeX files and Literate programming support. Compared to the more widely released 0.10.7, version 1.0 is an immense improvement. Lots and lots of new features have been added, speed has improved, documentation has been rewritten basically from scratch -- the list of improvements is too long to mention here.
