The LyX Team
July 2024
1. Preface
Work on LyX 2.5 started on April 1 2024 (no joke!), in parallel to the final preparations of LyX 2.4.0 (which has been released in May 2024).
2. Bibliography- and citation-related improvements
With biblatex, support of some of the more common bibliography styles has been improved:
- Chicago Manual of Style: LyX now supports the
biblatex-chicago package with all commands in authordate and notes-bibliography mode.
- APA: The special citation command \nptextcite of
biblatex-apa is now natively supported. Also, the on-screen representation of citations with this style is more accurate.
- MLA: The special citation command \autocite* of
biblatex-mla is now natively supported. Also, the on-screen representation of citations with this style is more accurate.
3. Miscellaneous
- Vertical paragraph spacing now accepts rubber lengths.
- For vertical paragraph spacing with the KOMA classes, the class's own approach is now used.
- It it now possible to set the longest label of a nomenclature list manually.
- Multiple indexes are now also supported with the Memoir class.
- The Log dialog now shows all logs with multiple indexes
