LyX freeware - The Latest Versions History
2.4.2 Oct 4, 2024 New Release This is almost entirely a bug-fixing release, with no significant new features. However, some crashes have been fixed, and we have made some significant improvements to display speed, which will be especially noticeable on older or slower systems.
There has been a change (as of 2.4.0) in how the option to use vertical space between paragraphs is handled. Previously, LyX simply modified parskip and parindent, but this caused various problems (see bug #4796). Now, we use the parskip package. As a result, however, and to ensure there are no changes to old documents, when LyX files from 2.3.x and earlier are converted to the new format, if they were set to use vertical space between paragraphs, the lyx2lyx conversion routine adds
% Added by lyx2lyx
setlength{parskip}{smallskipamount}
setlength{parindent}{0pt}
to the preamble and, within LyX itself, resets the text layout to use indentation (so we do not issue the new code for vertical spacing). The net effect is that PDFs generated with LaTeX (etc) look right, but in LyX itself indentation is used.
This will happen with any document created with 2.3.x or older. It can also happen with documents created from templates created with 2.3.x or older, and even with new documents, if you had previously set them to use, by default, vertical space. Templates are just LyX files saved in the templates/ folder, and the 'defaults' are simply saved in a template file, defaults.lyx. Hence, if you want the new behavior, or just want the LyX document to look `right', then you will need to make two changes to the document or template: Remove what lyx2lyx added, and then set Paragraph Separation to Vertical Space.
