[Bug 1811571] Re: [SRU] Update to maintenance release 2.2.4 in Bionic
Hello Amr, or anyone else affected,
Accepted lyx into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/2.2.4-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance for helping!
N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

LyX 2.2.4 is the fourth and final maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.
You can download LyX 2.2.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
LyX 2.2.4 is the result of ongoing efforts to make our stable version
more reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
several improvements.

-Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings with gcc7.
** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Fix wrong spacing in output when the font size is changed inside a
center environment or a greyed out note (bugs 9598 and 10650).

+ [Test case]
+ 1. Launch lyx 2.2.3 from bionic. Edit a file, then save it.
+ 2. Upgrade to lyx 2.2.4 from bionic-proposed.
+ 3. Open the previously-saved file with the new version of lyx.
+ 4. Modify the file.
+ 5. Confirm that viewing the file as a PDF works.
+ 6. Confirm that the file can be exported to other formats.
- TEST CASE
- ----------
- Open a previous .lyx file with the new version in bionic-proposed, which was written by 2.2.3, and read, modify, write changes in it then try to view it in PDF and export into other formats.
-
-
- REGRESSION POTENTIAL
+ [Regression potential]
---------------------
The only new feature of 2.2.4 is that it is able to read and write files in the 2.3.x format. Please note, however, that the conversion process back and forth usually will not leave one with an identical file, so we do not recommend that users of 2.2.4 try to collaborate with users of 2.3.x.
Version 2.2.3 in Bionic now cannot even read or write in 2.3.x format so
users of Bionic already know that they cannot collaborate with 2.3.x
users. So the regression potential is low.
