    History

  • Matthias Ettrich started developing a shareware program called Lyrix in 1995.
  • Soon after, it was announced on USENET where it received a great deal of attention during the subsequent years.
  • Shortly after the initial release, Lyrix was renamed to Lyx due to a name-clash with proprietary software (a word processor by Santa Cruz Operation). It was released under the GNU General Public License, which opened the project to the open-source community. The name LyX was chosen because of the file-suffix '.lyx' for the Lyrix-files.
  • LyX 1.0.0 was released in 1999.
  • LyX 1.3.0 was released on February 7, 2003.
  • LyX 1.4.0 was released on March 8, 2006.
  • LyX 1.5.0 was released on July 27, 2007.
  • LyX 1.5.4 was released on February 24, 2008.
  • LyX 1.5.5 was released on May 11, 2008.
