OK. Will release Tuesday.
Hi Richard,
please use the latest version I just uploaded:
http://ftp.lyx.de/LyX%202.1.4/
However, I think we should wait with the release I I must change the
installer. The problem is a nasty bug in l3kernel:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.ctan.announce/11862
I don't understand why but many packages use the, still experimental,
LaTeX 3 kernel. When installing LyX 2.1.4 the installer normally asks
the user to update the LaTeX packages. This is a valuable feature but
I did this today and got the broken l3kernel files. Not LyX is quite
unusable for e.g. my real-life documents at work. So I would either
wait with the release of the Windows installer until the next l3kernel
release in a few day or I would have to change the installer and
disable the LaTeX package update for this LyX release.
What do you prefer?
I don't see the point of delaying the release again. I have already
delayed it for Windows problems once. I am not going to delay it again
because of broken LaTeX 3 packages, which have nothing to do with LyX.
So I am going to release tomorrow (Wednesday). If you want to provide
aome working Windows installer now and have it be part of the release
tomorrow, that's fine. If you want to wait a few days and release the
Windows installer for 2.1.4 later, that's fine, too. Officially, we only
release source code.
Richard
