LyX 2.2 released
After two years of work, LyX 2.2.0 has been released. There’s a lot of new features, some of the most important are:
- High resolution display support (aka retina)
- Qt5 support (Qt4 still supported)
- Improved text display: proper kerning and ligatures, higher rendering speed
- Horizontal scrolling for large insets such as tabular and math material, keeping the cursor visible
- Improved control of paragraph breaks: plain separators split consecutive environments, parbreak separators do the same and introduce a blank line in the LaTeX output.
- Improved text color support – 11 new colors: brown, darkgray, gray, lightgray, lime, orange, olive, pink, purple, teal, and violet
- Better handling of boxes and tables
- Faster and better instant preview
- Enhanced source panel, outliner and navigation menu
