Description:
 LyX is a document processor that encourages an
approach to writing based on the structure of your
documents, not their appearance.

LyX is for people that write and want their
writing to look great, right out of the box. No
more endless tinkering with formatting details,
'finger painting' font attributes or fuzzing
around with page boundaries. You just write. In
the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX
typesetting engine makes you look good.

On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its
printed output -- or richly cross-referenced PDF,
just as readily produced -- looks like nothing
else. Gone are the days of industrially bland
.docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet
coming out unpredictably different on different
printer drivers. Gone are the crashes
'eating'Â your dissertation the evening before
going to press.

LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a
multi-platform, fully internationalized
application running natively on Unix/Linux and the
Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. 

Changelog:
 CHANGES in 1.5.3:
===================

This is a maintenance release that further
improves the stability and the performance.
Besides numerous crashes, the display problems
that slipped into 1.5.2 with the performance fixes
(on the Mac and on Windows) as well as problems
entailed to the reworked document classes were
fixed. Furthermore, LyX 1.5.3 comes with speed
improvements that should pay off especially on the
Mac and other UNIXes. Finally, this version also
provides some new features.

All current 1.5.x users are encouraged to upgrade
to this version.
