What's new in LyX 2.0.1
What's new in LyX 2.0.2
=======================
The support for using external files in ERT has been improved by the
introduction of a prefix for the TEXINPUTS environment variable.
This prefix can be set in preferences and by default includes the
document directory (represented by a single '.'). The prefix can
be set to any list of paths separated by the default separator for
a given platform (':' on unix like systems and ';' on windows).
When a file should be included by LaTeX, the paths listed in TEXINPUTS
will be searched in turn for finding it. Note that any non-absolute
path listed in the TEXINPUTS prefix is considered to be relative to the
document directory, i.e., the directory where the LyX file lives.
Users are advised to always include '.' (the document dir) as one of
the path components, otherwise compilation may fail for some documents.
This is because the previous (undocumented) mechanism based on the use
of the \input@path macro has been dropped. The old mechanism did not
work in all cases and was kind of a hack. Old documents using that
undocumented hack for obtaining the path of the LyX file will have to
be revised. A clean way for obtaining the document path is using the
info inset through the "info-insert buffer path" LyX function.
** Updates:
***********
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Allow for a maximum of 3 minutes for the completion of a spawned command
except on Windows, where 30 minutes are allowed. This is because the
Windows installer may trigger MiKTeX updates that suffer from network
latencies.
- Improved XHTML output of various fractions.
- A prefix for the TEXINPUTS environment variable can be specified in the
preferences. The directory of a LyX document is represented by a single
dot '.' or by the prefix "./". Also, any non-absolute path will be
prepended with the LyX document directory.
- Updated templates to current LyX format, so no conversion will be
needed.
- Allow LaTeX import of \uline (bug 7640).
- Fix compilation error occurring when a LyX document resides in a directory
whose name contains characters that are special to LaTeX (bug 6170).
* USER INTERFACE
- Updated Czech, French, German, Japanese, Interlingua, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Serbian (Latin), Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian User
Interface Localization.
- Now it is not necessary to restart LyX after changing the default
document directory and/or the PATH prefix in the preferences for them
to take effect.
- Menu View->Source for documents with XHTML default output format now displays
only the current paragraph, except when complete source is requested
(bug 7463).
- Size tab now enables and disables correctly depending on the capabilities
configured for the current external template (selected via the combo).
- Sort entries in the "More Formats and Options" dialog (bug 7714).
- Enable "Accept compound" preference setting for Aspell backend only.
Reconfigure the aspell backend when "Accept compound" preference is
changed immediately.
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- UserGuide:
- new section how to define custom header/footer lines
(bug 7196).
- new section about customized lists
- new section about comparison of LyX documents
- new section about the document's colors settings
- revised Appendix A and B
- EnbeddedObjects manual:
- describe that LyX supports now the changing of the color of the
greyed-out box text
- new chapter about objects surrounded by text
- Math manual: add a note about column limit for decorated matrices.
- Updated French documentation files.
- updated template file for the latest version of the ACM siggraph
LaTeX-package.
- updated layout and template file for the latest version of the IJMPC
LaTeX-package.
- updated layout and template file for the latest version of the IJMPD
LaTeX-package.
