Document processor and graphical frontend for LaTeX
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 2.5.1,
Package name: lyx-2.5.1,
Maintainer: reedLyX is a wordprocessor frontend to LaTeX, which gives both the
ease-of-use of a wordprocessor, and the flexibility and power of
LaTeX.
Quasi-WYSIWYG interface, many LaTeX styles and layouts automatically
generated. Speeds up learning LaTeX and makes complicated layouts
easy and intuitive. Features include spell-checking, international
character support, WYSIWYG graphics, tables, and equations.
This version of LyX uses the Qt toolkit for the graphical interface.

Log message:
lyx: update to 2.5.1
version 2.5.1?
--------------
This release fixes a number of mostly minor bugs in 2.5.0. One important fix
concerns crashes when exiting LyX on OSX, specifically when documents are still
open. We have also fixed a handful of bugs with the new input method support.
version 2.5.0?
--------------
The new features in LyX 2.5 are detailed in
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX25
The major changes include:
* Update the cross-referencing framework to allow additional backends
(e.g., zref and cleverref) and to allow range references (e.g., sections
2-3).
* Improve LyX's support for color both in the user interace and in output,
especially tables.
* Greatly improve LyX's support for 'input methods', which are important for
languages in which the number of available characters exceeds the number of
keys.
version 2.4.4?
--------------
We have fixed a number of bugs, including some crashes, and introduced a few
new features.
There have been a number of updates to LyX's interface with computer algebra
systems.
LyX now (again) has a function (error-next) and a menu entry (Navigate >
Next Error) to quickly jump to the next compilation error. LyX now also has a
function (errors-show) and a menu entry (Document > Processing Errors) to
(re)open the dialog that lists compilation errors (a.k.a. "LaTeX Errors")
after it has been closed, with the next error at/after cursor highlighted.
An important fix concerns the generation of previews. In certain cases,
LaTeX adds a temporary page at the end, and this confuses our python script
that generates previews, making it unable to determine the pages to process
through dvipng. This has been fixed for versions of dvipng >= 1.16.
version 2.4.3?
--------------
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.
version 2.4.2?
--------------
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.
version 2.4.1?
--------------
We have fixed a number of bugs in this version. Most of these are minor,
but there was one crash when deleting rows or columns from a table that has
been fixed. There have also been some improvements to tab management.
version 2.4.0?
--------------
The new features in LyX 2.4 are detailed in
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX24
* DocBook 5 / ePub / XHTML 5 support
* Default Unicode for new documents
* Table improvements (styles and other)
* Redesign of Find/Replace dialog
* Flexible text fields
* Counters
* Global float settings
* Insets external editing
* Dark theme
* Qt 5 default, Qt 6 supported, Qt 4 dropped
