LyX 2.3.6.1

Sun Jan 3 20:31:55 UTC 2021

LyX 2.3.6.1 is now released. This update fixes two problems.

The first is that the inclusion of TeX files as child documents was
unintentionally broken by the new code that allows for the creation of
new files from the child document dialog. The second is that there was
some odd behavior of menus under Gnome Wayland, at least on Fedora, due
to how window positions were stored between sessions.

Otherwise, this version is the same as LyX 2.3.6, and users who do not
experience these problems need not upgrade.

The original announcement is included below.

Public release of LyX version 2.3.6
===================================

We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.6. This is the sixth
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. We encourage all users to
upgrade to this version.

You can download LyX 2.3.6 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.

LyX 2.3.6 is the sixth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. It is the
result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and
more stable. Most of the changes are fairly minor, fixes of smallish bugs,
but a couple crashes have been fixed, as well.

One oft-requested feature (going back 13 years) is the ability to create
new child documents from within the 'include file' dialog. This is now
possible. Another equally old bug that has been fixed is that pasting
table content outside a table no longer pastes tab characters.

If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.6, please open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
is at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
active community of people who are ready to help.

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.6.

The LyX team.
