SRU LyX bugfix microrelease 2.0.8.1 in 14.04 LTS

[Amr Ibrahim]

    Hello Ubuntu users and developers,

      

      This is originally here
      https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/1303688.

      

      According to the SRU policy,
      https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#New_upstream_microreleases,
      a microrelease could be candidate for an SRU as long as it is a
      bug-fix release.

    

    LyX is very popular among
        university students and researchers. It would be great if it
        could be updated in 14.04 LTS. Upstream supports this update
        from the original bug report. Upstream developers
      provide maintenance releases for lyx as 2.0.x.

      Announcement of 2.0.8.1 http://www.lyx.org/announce/2_0_8_1.txt:

      

      We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.8.1. This
      release

      differs from the 2.0.8 release only by incorporating some
      improvements

      to the lyx2lyx conversion and reversion scripts. There are no
      changes

      to the main code.

      

      LyX 2.0.8 was the eighth and final maintenance release in the
      2.0.x

      series, the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
      even

      more reliable and stable. We fixed a number of bugs and made a
      number

      of improvements since 2.0.7.

      Announcement of 2.0.7 http://www.lyx.org/announce/2_0_7.txt:

      

      LyX 2.0.7 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable
      version

      even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and
      made

      a number of improvements.

      The most important bug was #8854, which could lead to file
      corruption

      in certain cases and, more often, would lead to errors in
      generated

      files (e.g., PDFs). We encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this

      version.

      Thanks!

      Amr
