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' 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 1.5.5:
===================

Being the fourth maintenance release in the 1.5.x
cycle, this release further improves the stability
and usability of the application. Besides this, it
also introduces some new features.

Most notably, LyX is now prepared to be compiled
with Qt 4.4 that has just been released: the
stability issues that occured in previous versions
of LyX when compiled against Qt 4.4 have been
resolved.

All users, especially users of Qt 4.4, are
encouraged to upgrade to this version.
