If I understand correctly, the Windows version will have features that
are not available in the Linux or Mac versions. I hope this is not
true-- those of us who have been living in the MS-free world hope
that /all/ the features will be available in all the versions.

Dear LyXers,
LyX 2.0.4 is coming soon and it will fix some Windows-specific bugs:
- It is now possible to use LyX's "split index" feature (several
indexes for a document) on Windows
- Spell checking dictionaries are now also available for Basque, Upper
Sorbian and Interlingua
- Spell checking now also works for Esperanto, Farsi, Korean and Latin,
In order to fix this, the upcoming new LyX for Windows installer was
modified so that you can select which dictionaries you want to
install. This saves a lot of download and disk space as nobody needs
all dictionaries (would be 300 MB).
To get the split index feature working the installer comes now with an
as small as possible Perl script interpreter which will be installed
to MiKTeX.
As the changes in the installer are a lot and as I cannot test all
possible language/dictionary combinations, I would like if interested
LyXers could help me testing. Especially for the split index feature,
I expect some things that are not yet working. (This LyX feature is
described in sec. 6.6.7 of the UserGuide)
Here is the testing installer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/files/TestRelease/
It will install the upcoming LyX 2.0.4 and should be fully functional
and stable as LyX 2.0.3. If you find any problem, please report back.
To test it you don't have to uninstall LyX 2.0.3.
thanks in advance and regards
Uwe
