This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of
the then-new right-to-left languages support. It is no longer needed
because of improvements. Now right-to-left support is always enabled.

Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2:
2013-07-04 19:34:21 +00:00
--------------------------------------------------------
- LyX is not yet supposed to work with Qt5. It is advised to compile and
run LyX against Qt 4.8.x. On Windows, Qt 4.8.5 suffers from a bug that
breaks the use of shortcuts, so on Windows Qt 4.8.4 is advised.
- LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
Known issues in version 2.2.0
-----------------------------
- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
be enough.
Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.2.x
-------------------------------------------------------
- BibTeX errors are now processed and cause LyX to show the errors dialog.
Before, these errors were ignored, which means that it may happen that
documents that compiled without error with a previous version now
compile with error. However, because now in 2.2.x users can click on
the "Show Output Anyway" button, the document can still be viewed.
