Binary package hint: lyx

A bugfix upstream release of Lyx (1.5.6) is available, since July 28:
http://www.lyx.org/announce/1_5_6.txt

Packages in Intrepid, (and hardy-backports) are currently still at
version 1.5.5 and they should be upgraded to the new upstream release.

The LyX team has given the recommendation: "All users are encouraged to
upgrade to this version."

Feature Freeze is now in effect. However, I believe this bug qualifies
as an exception since this a bug-fix only (and updated translations)
upstream release, especially considering that the LyX 1.5.x series has
existed for about a year. In other words, this will fix more bugs
(including some long-standing annoyances) and is not likely to cause new
bugs.

LyX 1.5.6 is the last LyX release before LyX 1.6.0. LyX 1.5.7 will
likely be released to coincide with LyX 1.6.0 and will include the
ability to import LyX 1.6 documents: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInBranch

Important bug fixes (from Debian bug):

- Implement properly word-movement code for both windows and mac
  conventions. 
  
  This also fixes the data-eating 'word-delete' deletes following non-word
  items (including equations and floats) bug!

- Fix LaTeX export of combining characters in utf-8* encodings.

- Output paper size information to dvi or pdf documents when using
  landscape orientation, such that viewers can properly display them.

- Fix crash related to the outline pane with some documents.

- Fix crash when clicking with middle button on a collapsable inset.
