Just curious, why are we testing old versions of an application with known catastrophic bugs? Wasn't the uncorrupted save feature implemented in the 2.1 branch? Also, I have been using the 2.1.3 exclusively for a long time and I admit that I am a power user. It is stable as anything I use and when combined with LuaTex, it produces beamer presentations and pdf documents that are absolutely stunning. This includes images. XeLatex had problems for me when importing PDF images but LuaTex does it far better. None of this has to do with Lyx though. Lyx is performing beautifully and I am using it to the fullest extent possible.
The ONLY thing I have a gripe about is the lack of biblatex and biber support. I get it, but I wish that it was there. ~Ben On Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 11:33 AM, Liviu Andronic <landronim...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 11:57 AM, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes > <lasgout...@lyx.org> wrote: > > Dear all, > > > > Ubuntu trusty 14.04, the long term support version, currently only has > LyX > > 2.0.6.
