LyX is an open source and cross platform system for formatting documents. In short, it is a graphical user interface for TeX and Latex. It is mainly used in academia, because it can easily compose formulas and shows an overview of the document structure. Unlike regular word processors that use the wysiwyg principle, LyX uses wysiwym. More information about LyX can be found on this page are being found. Version 2.3.2 was released a few days ago and its changes look like this:

Second Maintenance Release in 2.3.x Series: LyX 2.3.2 released.

We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.3.2. This is the second maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. LyX 2.3.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and more stable. One main fix involves a crash with external viewers on Windows. We have also fixed a number of problems with the output of right-to-left languages, thanks to the involvement of users. There was also an infinite loop bug connected with the separation of environments that has been fixed. But, for the most part, the fixes here are incremental.
