LyX mailing lists up again - resubscription needed

Hello,

As many of you may have already experienced, the LyX mailing lists were down
for two weeks.

This was due to a hardware accident of our mail-list server. We have
unfortunately lost not only the data but also their backups. The mailing lists
are alive, but you need to manually re-subscribe to them since the subscribers
database is gone. 

For your convenience we prepared a short summary of the most important
subscription addresses (a blank mail is enough):
Users' List - lyx-users-subscribe <at> lists.lyx.org
Developers' List - lyx-devel-subscribe <at> lists.lyx.org
Documentation List - lyx-docs-subscribe <at> lists.lyx.org
Announcement List - lyx-announce-subscribe <at> lists.lyx.org

Other lists and details can be found at http://www.lyx.org/MailingLists .

You can also look in the list archives in case you are curious about the
messages sent during your unsubscribed period:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-docs <at> lists.lyx.org

We are sorry for the inconvenience. The LyX Team.

LyX 1.6.6 is released

Public release of LyX version 1.6.6
===================================

We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.6. This is the sixth
maintenance release in the 1.6.x series.

The release features a long list of fixes and improvements. Yet a number
of crashes, reported by our users or our automatic stability testing
program, were fixed. Moreover, LyX was improved in many details. It also
introduces new features, such as support for the enchant spell checking
backend and for aspell language varieties (such as old and new German
spelling in parallel).

A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.

Please note particularly that there's an unresolved bug (#6680) that might
crash LyX when using undo with the outliner opened. This bug only manifests
itself when LyX is compiled against Qt 4.6, so we encourage you to compile
LyX against Qt 4.5, if possible. Also note that LyX 1.6.6 behaves way better
with Qt 4.6 than its predecessors. So despite the aforementioned problem, we
urge all distributors who use Qt 4.6 to upgrade to this version.

All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:

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

LyX 1.6.6.1 is released

Public release of LyX version 1.6.6.1
=====================================

LyX 1.6.6.1, a service upgrade to LyX 1.6.6, is available now.

The sole purpose of this release is to fix one regression that was introduced
by LyX 1.6.6: The spellchecker missed further misspellings after applying
a correction. This was due to the fix to different bug that had to be
reverted. In any other respect, this release is identical to LyX 1.6.6.

All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

You can download LyX 1.6.6.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):

	ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.bz2
	ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.bz2

and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will
also host the .bz2 versions):

	ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz
