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_5_X branch, which you
|
|
|
|
can get with the command
|
|
|
|
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_5_X lyx-1.5.x

|
|
|
- The LyX User Guide has been revised completely. It is now up to
|
|
|
|
date and describes all of LyX 1.5's main features (bug 3315 a.o.)
|
2007-09-22 08:16:44 +00:00

|
|
|
|

2007-09-22 11:21:14 +00:00
|
|
|
- The Embedded Objects manual contains two new sections:
|
2007-09-22 08:16:44 +00:00
|

|
2007-09-22 08:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
- Many improvements to the translation of the user interface on the Mac.
|
|
|
|
In particular, LyX automatically uses the language of the interface for
|
|
|
|
all of its menus and for the help files. Documents strings like
|
2007-08-07 22:23:47 +00:00
|
|
|
"Chapter" are correctly translated on screen too.
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-18 17:04:47 +00:00
|
|
|
- New translations of the user interface into Finnish, Portuguese and
|
|
|
|
Simplified Chinese.

|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-18 17:04:47 +00:00
|
|
|

|
2007-09-20 06:47:39 +00:00
|
|
|
enabled on Mac and Windows platforms using Qt 4.2 or higher.
|
2007-10-01 09:12:05 +00:00

|
|
|
- Add a paragraph-params LFUN, used for updating paragraph parameters
|
2007-09-10 13:44:49 +00:00
|
|
|
(bug 2714).
|
2007-08-24 16:55:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-09-22 08:16:44 +00:00

|
2007-09-22 08:16:44 +00:00
|
|
|
citations) are now opened by the "next-inset-toggle" LFUN (bug
|
2007-09-13 10:03:39 +00:00
|
|
|
2907).
|
2007-08-12 21:35:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-09-18 17:04:47 +00:00

|
|
- A "Title (Plain Frame)" style has been added to the beamer layout.
|
|

|
|
|
- New LyX functions, master-buffer-view and master-buffer-update, have
|
|
|
|
been added, to view the master buffer associated with a given child
|
|
|
|
buffer. These are bound by default to C-M-t and C-M-d, for Postscript
|
|
|
|
and DVI, respectively, for view, and to C-M-S-t and C-M-S-d, for update.
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-28 12:24:20 +00:00
|
|
|
- The debug output obtained with the '-dbg painting' option has been
|
|
|
|
modified to be more verbose and in line with the LyX development
|
|
|
|
version.
