Public release of LyX version 2.4.3$$$===================================$$$$$$We are proud to announce the release LyX 2.4.3; the third maintenance$$$release in the 2.4.x series.$$$$$$This is mostly a bug-fixing release. Most of the bugs are minor; but$$$there was one significant one (13118) concerning the loading order of$$$the fancyhdr package that was causing errors in page layout. In terms of$$$updates; the most significant are that it is not possible to insert$$$cross-references from the outliner; even to sections that have not yet$$$been given a label. In that case; the label is automatically created.$$$There has also been a major update to the Swedish localization.$$$$$$You can download LyX 2.4.3 from https://www.lyx.org/Download.$$$$$$If you have trouble using LyX or have a question; consult the$$$documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki; which$$$you will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to$$$the LyX users list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). Bugs can be reported$$$on our bug tracker (https://www.lyx.org/trac/) or by writing the$$$developers list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org).

Public release of LyX version 2.4.2$$$===================================$$$$$$We are proud to announce the release LyX 2.4.2; the second maintenance$$$release in the 2.4.x series.$$$$$$This is almost entirely a bug-fixing release; with no significant new$$$features. However; some crashes have been fixed; and we have made some$$$significant improvements to display speed; which will be especially$$$noticeable on older or slower systems.$$$$$$There has been a change (as of 2.4.0) in how the option to use vertical$$$space between paragraphs is handled. Previously; LyX simply modified $$$\parskip and \parindent; but this caused various problems (see bug $$$#4796). Now; we use the parskip package. As a result; however; and$$$to ensure there are no changes to old documents; when LyX files from $$$2.3.x and earlier are converted to the new format; if they were set to$$$use vertical space between paragraphs; the lyx2lyx conversion routine$$$adds $$$ % Added by lyx2lyx$$$ \setlength{\parskip}{\smallskipamount}$$$ \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}$$$to the preamble and; within LyX itself; resets the text layout to use$$$indentation (so we do not issue the new code for vertical spacing). The$$$net effect is that PDFs generated with LaTeX (etc) look right; but in$$$LyX itself indentation is used. $$$$$$This will happen with any document created with 2.3.x or older. It can$$$also happen with documents created from templates created with 2.3.x $$$or older; and even with new documents; if you had previously set them to $$$use; by default; vertical space. Templates are just LyX files saved in $$$the templates/ folder; and the defaults are simply saved in a$$$template file; defaults.lyx. Hence; if you want the new behavior; or $$$just want the LyX document to look `right; then you will need to make$$$two changes to the document or template: Remove what lyx2lyx added; and$$$then set Paragraph Separation to Vertical Space.$$$$$$You can download LyX 2.4.2 from https://www.lyx.org/Download.$$$$$$If you have trouble using LyX or have a question; consult the$$$documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki; which$$$you will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/.

We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.3.7. This is the seventh 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.$$$$$$Largely due to Covid; it has been a long time since the last release. But we have not been idle! Many bugs have been fixed in this release; and several crashes as well. We therefore encourage all users to upgrade to this version.$$$$$$See the announcement for more information.$$$$$$One important note: Recent versions of Mac OSX do not include a working version of Python. LyX needs this for proper functionality. See the wiki for information on how to install Python; if you need to do so. The most obvious sympton is that; on startup; LyX reports that it will have minimal functionality. Another symptom is that images or previews do not display properly.

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.
