Comment 2 for bug 253196

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

  (JSS).

* USER INTERFACE

- Reenable quote display code, which was not working since 1.5.0.
