Hi,
I tested the lastest CVS to see what's up with lyx. And my verdict is:
WONDERFUL
I like the new features and dialogs a lot. I don't know if this is the right
time to report bugs but anyway here is it:
There are some problems compared to 1.1.6fix3:
1) The status bar doesn't indicate anymore the keyboard shortcuts for the
actions done with the mouse, I miss this a lot.
2) The figure floats do not adapt their size to the size of the graphics.
3) When I insert a citation reference it doesn't show up in the dvi file nor
in the ps file. It just show [?]
4) Lyx crashes while opening some of my old documents (see below)
My system
- MDK 8.1 linux system
- gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk)
- xforms 0.89.5
- TeX, Version 3.14159
lyx was build with the config:
./configure --with-pspel --enable-optimization="-fno-exceptions -Wall -O3
-mcpu=k6 -march=k6" --with-version-suffix
I am sorry but I can't compile lyx with debug enabled because it needs too
much disk space but I switched to cvs now so I can update it regurlarly and
test it again if you desire so.
Thanks,
Abdel.
About the crashes:
When I try to open a big document (> 200p full of math and graphics) which I
could open with my previous build of lyx (02152002), lyx now crash before
opening it with the message:

Another one with another file not as big but also in 1.1.6fix3 format, lyx
crash with the message:
