Public release of LyX version 1.5.0
===================================
What's new in version 1.5.1?
----------------------------
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.0.
** Updates:
***********
Since the announcement of release candidate 2, we have fixed bugs and
we have updated the documentation.
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
Following the ad hoc tradition of 1.5.0 pre-releases, called
respectively Ruby (alpha), Towny (beta) and Quinta ("farm" in
Portuguese for the release candidates) this release starts the Vintage
selection that is (will be) the 1.5 series.
- Add template for the APA class (bug 2390).
LyX 1.5.0 is the culmination of 15 months of hard work since the
release of the LyX 1.4 series. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the
result. The changes are too numerous to summarize in a few words, but
initial unicode support is the flagship among the new features. See
the end of this announcement for further details.
** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Fix output of LyX files on windows when Document>Compressed is set.
This is a dataloss bug that was the main reason for releasing 1.5.1
earlier than anticipated.
- Get rid of annoying LaTeX error after changing the document language
(bug 2468).
- Fix a LaTeX error with caption inset in a listing inset (some
problems remain).
- Fix crashes relating to command line export (bugs 4077 and 4086).
- Fix export to FAT32 under Linux (bug 4094).
* USER INTERFACE:
- Fix crash with TOC and child documents (bug 4096).
- Fix redrawing artefacts when switching tabs (bug 3969).
- Fix pasting a selection from the same LyX document with middle mouse
button.
- Fix pasting of a selection from other applications (X11 only).
- Coherent behaviour when inserting over a selection: now the selection
is always replaced by the insertion (bug 672).
- When inserting an URL over selected text, insert the selected
text in the URL inset (bug 683).
- Don't allow invalid listings parameters to be passed when
updating other controls in listings-related dialogs (bug 4053).
- Fix bug with math-matrix dialog always producing 1x1 matrices on
platforms lacking proper support for wide characters (bug 4076).
- Sort colors in the Preferences dialog (bug 2571).
- Fix bug where using pdfsync marks the document 'changed' (bug 4023).
* BUILD/INSTALLATION:
- scons now accepts SConstruct file from top source directory, which
can be a symbolic link to development/scons/SConstruct.
- LyX configuration script now checks for htlatex as an OpenDocument
converter, since some platforms have htlatex but not oolatex. It also
checks for oowriter as an OpenDocument viewer and editor.
- Fix building on Mac OS X when pkg-config is installed.
