This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.6.8
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_6_X branch, which you
can get with the command
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X lyx-1.6.x

What's new
==========
** Updates:
***********
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Add support for pBibTeX (formerly known as jBibTeX), a specific Japanese
BibTeX variant (bug 6808).
- New environment variable LYX_FORCE_OVERWRITE allows changing default
behavior when exporting from command line. Now LyX overwrites the main
file by default, but not the ancillary files. Set this variable to
"all" for letting LyX behave as in 1.6.6 and previous versions; set it
to "none" for mimicking the 1.6.7 behavior of not overwriting any file.
- Add support for subtitles in the KOMA classes.
- Add support for lists and quotes in the g-brief2 letter class (bug 6857).
- Add support for the math command \ddddot.
* USER INTERFACE
- New layout and template file for submissions to journals published by
the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
- Improve the detection of LaTeX warnings in the Log dialog.
- Citations in the outline now display the key (bug 6837).
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- Revised section 4.2 "Footnotes" of the EmbeddedObjects manual.
- Updated LaTeXConfig file.
- Updated English and German Linguistics manual.
- Updated French, German, Italian, Spanish and Slovak User Interface
localizations.
* WINDOWS INSTALLER
* BUILD/INSTALLATION
** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Assure that Japanese LaTeX (pLaTeX) is in fact only used for Japanese
documents. This fixes major configuration problems with TeXLive 2010.
- Fix the output of glyph 0x02e0 (MODIFIER LETTER SMALL GAMMA) (bug 6817).
- Load the amsmath LaTeX-package when the math command \dddot is used to
avoid LaTeX errors (bug 6872).
- Small tweaks for the memoir text class.
* USER INTERFACE
- Do not allow to rename a format's short name if the format is used by a
converter. This prevents a crash (bug 6815).
- Fix crash when mutating eqnarray-like environments with labeled lines
to display equations (bug 6858).
- Box dialog: only shaded boxes can have multiple paragraphs when there
is no inner box.
- Fix mouse wheel scrolling on Mac OS 10.6 (bug 6775).
- Fix parsing of in-line math environments nested in (unknown to LyX)
text-mode user macros (bug 1337).
- When undo returns to a state where the file was saved, make sure to
reset the (changed) status (bug 3733).
- Don't allow to insert margin notes and floats into tables because this
would lead to LaTeX errors (bug 6844).
- Don't allow to insert margin notes and footnotes into captions because
this would lead to LaTeX errors.
- Fix handling of commands containing a double quote (") in shortcut
editor (bug 6786).
- Use correct mode and screen fonts for old-style font changing macros
(\bf, \cal, \it, \rm, and \tt) in math (bug 6851).
- Retain the first non-empty label when mutating eqnarray-like environments
to a display equation (bug 6793).
- Load files in correct order when passed as arguments via the command
line (bug 6848).
- Fix parsing of commands sent through the lyxserver, such that they don't
need to be terminated by a newline character (bug 6868).
