Hello LyXers,
Shortly after the last version I'm proud to announce the third version
(0.3) of the LyXWinInstaller:
https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=8040
(it needs some time until the download begins)
Now all LyX features should work and the installer is stable enough for
normal usage. Here are the improvements:
---------------
Version 0.3
- fix bug when checking for the LaTeX-distribution "TeXLive"
- The LyX-menu "View -> TeX Information" works now (fix bug 5476)
- files in older LyX-formats can now be opened
- importing LaTeX files to LyX works now
- fix bug when checking for Ghostscript
- update to AFPL Ghostscript 8.53
---------------
The source package
http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXPackageScripts-0-3.rar
includes the language files. You could help to improve the
internationalization of the installer if you translate some strings in
the textfiles "your_language.nsh" and send it to me or to the project page.
--- General Info ---
The installer installs a full functional LaTeX-environment on Windows.
This is in detail
- math fonts needed by LyX
- needed python, perl, and UNIX shell files
- basic installation of MiKTeX (LaTeX-distribution)
- ImageMagick (image converter)
- Ghostscript (Postscript and PDF renderer)
- Aspell (spellchecker)
- GSview (Postscript and PDF viewer) (optional)
- LyX 1.3.6 (with complete documentation)
The installer analyses your system and only installs missing programs.
There are two versions available:
- "Complete"; contains all programs listed above
- "Small"; doesn't contain MiKTeX and GSview
(to reduce the download time)
--- General Info ---
regards Uwe
