This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.4.3
All comments are welcome.
I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
these fixes have been checked into the BRANCH_1_4_X branch, which you
can get with the command
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_4_X lyx-1.4.x

What's new
==========
** Updates:
- All shell scripts are translated to python so sh.exe is no longer
needed on windows.
- Some small updates to the documentation.
- New Czech localization; update Italian (bug 2774) and German
localization (bug 2718).
- Updated Czech translation of the Tutorial; new Czech translation of
the splash document.
** Bug fixes:
* Document Input/Output
- Fix crash when importing LaTeX files with no text (bug 2667)
- Ignore definition of lyxgreyout environment when re-importing a LyX
generated LaTeX file (part of bug 2420)
- When exporting to LaTeX an external inset with template XFig,
require the color package, since xfig generates LaTeX code with
\color (bug 2716).
- Make sure enough passes are made to update the table of contents
when running latex (bug 2616).
- Don't add extra braces when reading documents containing \choose, \atop or
\over (bug 2481).
- Reenable import of noweb files (bug 2289)
- Render greyed out notes correctly in output (bug 2723)
- Fix bug 2768 (inset comment/note eats space after it)
* User Interface:
- Fix crash when using next-inset-toggle (Ctrl+I) inside mathed; make
inset locking in mathed generally work (bug 2756).
- Fix crash on save (including dataloss) when the backup directory
was invalid or not writeable(bug 2740).
- Fix crash when selecting several cells in a tabular (bug 2630).
- Fix crash when searching for an inset and none is present.
- Fix lockup when accepting a change in a text inset (bug 2510).
- Fix editing of document while Error List dialog is open (bug 2179).
- Update labels on screen when changing language.
- Show an error box when failing to update the TeX Information dalog data.
- Fix unexpected font change on maximize (bug 2664).
- Handle the Meta keyboard modifier as Alt (Qt only).
- Fix the C-x C-b binding in emacs mode (bug 2747).
- Fix a crash when a non-template file is selected in the
"New from Template" dialog (bug 2404)
* Build/installation:
- Fix 'check' make target for systems which do not have /bin/bash (bug 2524).
- Set CPPFLAGS only if not already set by the user (and ignore CXXFLAGS for
setting CPPFLAGS).
- Handle properly gcc 4.1 in configure.
- Install python files together with precompiled versions.
- A scons build system is added, details please see INSTALL.scons.
- Lyx can be compiled with MSVC using qt3 from Q../Free project and scons.
* Miscellaneous
- Display latex package checking results faster during configuration.
- Log the output of configure.py to a log file configure.log.
- Do automatic reconfiguration even when running in batch mode (bug 2741).
- Change the encoding of some python scripts from iso-8859-15 to
iso-8859-1. The former causes problems with embedded python.
- remove outdated development tools & outdated LyXConfig.lyx
- remove references to reLyX which has been replaced by tex2lyx
