Description

Please confirm these before moving forward
  • I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
  • I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.
Category of the issue

No applicable update found.

Brief description of your issue

The version of the LyX package is outdated by about 4 months.

Latest available on winget: 2.5.2
Latest available: 2.6.1

There was a new 64-bit installer introduced in version 2.6, so maybe this is the reason for the delay.
