Bug Description
Binary package hint: lyx
A bugfix upstream release of Lyx (1.5.6) is available, since July 28: http://
Packages in Intrepid, (and hardy-backports) are currently still at version 1.5.5 and they should be upgraded to the new upstream release.
The LyX team has given the recommendation: "All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version."
Feature Freeze is now in effect. However, I believe this bug qualifies as an exception since this a bug-fix only (and updated translations) upstream release, especially considering that the LyX 1.5.x series has existed for about a year. In other words, this will fix more bugs (including some long-standing annoyances) and is not likely to cause new bugs.
LyX 1.5.6 is the last LyX release before LyX 1.6.0. LyX 1.5.7 will likely be released to coincide with LyX 1.6.0 and will include the ability to import LyX 1.6 documents: http://
Important bug fixes (from Debian bug):
- Implement properly word-movement code for both windows and mac
conventions.
This also fixes the data-eating 'word-delete' deletes following non-word
items (including equations and floats) bug!
- Fix LaTeX export of combining characters in utf-8* encodings.
- Output paper size information to dvi or pdf documents when using
landscape orientation, such that viewers can properly display them.
- Fix crash related to the outline pane with some documents.
- Fix crash when clicking with middle button on a collapsable inset.
