What's new in version 1.3.0?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
As with the previous major version 1.2.0, many things make this new
|
||||
release an exciting one. This should not however hide the fact that
|
||||
the `under the hood' changes to the code have been (again) very
|
||||
important. One of these invisible changes that have been going on for
|
||||
a long time is the so-called GUI-independence project. We are glad to
|
||||
announce that version 1.3.0 shows the first results of this.
|
||||
|
||||
** Qt frontend
|
||||
|
||||
This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports
|
||||
either Qt 2.x or 3.0.x and is mostly feature complete. The dialogs are
|
||||
not copies of those of xforms, but that some different design choices
|
||||
have been made.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few caveats though:
|
||||
|
||||
- John???
|
||||
|
||||
** Xforms frontend
|
||||
|
||||
The avent of the Qt frontend does not mean that the historical xforms
|
||||
frontend is dead. Actually, it is still the one which is the best
|
||||
implemented, since we had much time to polish it. In this release,
|
||||
most of the dialogs have been redesigned to be tighter.
|
||||
|
||||
Note also that the xforms library has been very recently updated to
|
||||
version 1.0. This version has been released under the GPL, and the
|
||||
availability of the source means that many bugs that have been
|
||||
plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You are advised to upgrade to
|
||||
xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes. As a matter of fact, LyX
|
||||
1.3.0 does not support anymore versions of xforms older than 0.89.5.
|
||||
|
||||
New features:
|
||||
|
||||
- Angus??
|
||||
|
||||
** Gnome frontend
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly
|
||||
stopped recently and we have therefore disabled it. We strongly invite
|
||||
anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the developpers
|
||||
list.
|
||||
|
||||
** Instant preview
|
||||
|
||||
preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows "instant
|
||||
previews" of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual
|
||||
rendering of the LaTeX in the document. With the help of David
|
||||
Kastrup, the author, current CVS LyX can harness this functionality to
|
||||
allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and
|
||||
figures. This feature can be immensely useful for making sure the
|
||||
rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The
|
||||
preview is only displayed (when enabled) when you're not editing the
|
||||
actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too.
|
||||
|
||||
** Math editor
|
||||
|
||||
Andre??
|
||||
|
||||
** Miscellaneous changes
|
||||
|
||||
- LyX now automatically uses TeX font for screen rendering if they are
|
||||
available (it is not necessary anymore to configure your font server).
|
||||
|
||||
- Other??

||||
What's new in version 1.2.2?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
LyX 1.2.2 is a maintenance release. It is a recommended upgrade from
|
||||
1.2.0 or 1.2.1, especially since it fixes a few bugs introduced in
|
||||
1.2.1.
|
||||
|
||||
** Updates
|
||||
|
||||
- LyX builds with the newly released xforms 1.0. Actually, it is
|
||||
advised to use this version of xforms, since it fixes many bugs and
|
||||
support for older versions will probably be dropped in LyX 1.3.0
|
||||
|
||||
- selecting a word by double clicking now sets the X clipboard (like
|
||||
when dragging the mouse)
|
||||
|
||||
- it is now possible to specify the arguments for viewers; in
|
||||
particular, this means that it is possible to use browsers which
|
||||
require a file: URL as HTML viewers (mozilla is used as default if
|
||||
found)
|
||||
|
||||
- when a new LyX version is launched, the Edit>Reconfigure tool is
|
||||
automatically invoked; this should avoid many problems with users
|
||||
who are not aware that it is needed
|
||||
|
||||
- when changing the current layout with the toolbar, the corresponding
|
||||
keyboard binding is shown in the minibuffer
|
||||
|
||||
- in hebrew language, the key " now inserts a typewriter quote (since
|
||||
other quotes do not make sense in hebrew)
|
||||
|
||||
- Insert>Lists & TOC>Bibtex Reference uses style 'plain' by default
|
||||
|
||||
- new class ijmpd; update cl2emult, llncs and foils textclasses
|
||||
|
||||
- update sciword bindings
|
||||
|
||||
- small cleanup of UserGuide and FAQ; update to German, French and
|
||||
Russian documentation; new Hebrew tutorial
|
||||
|
||||
- update french, german, russian, finnish and danish localization of
|
||||
the interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What's new in version 1.2.1?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
LyX 1.2.1 is a maintenance release which fixes many bugs in version
|
||||
1.2.0. We hope in this way to enhance world happiness, allowing the
|
||||
developers to continue busily to prepare the next major release
|
||||
1.3.0. There are a lot of fixes in there, and upgrading is highly
|
||||
recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
** Updates
|
||||
|
||||
- it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0
|
||||
when this gets released)
|
||||
|
||||
- partial rewrite of the find & replace feature. This should solve most of
|
||||
the performance problems
|
||||
|
||||
- new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog
|
||||
|
||||
- revert to the old behaviour when creating new floats (figure,
|
||||
table...): the empty paragraph in the float now is a caption. It
|
||||
seems that 1.2.0 behaviour was confusing too many people
|
||||
|
||||
- it is now possible to set the float placement parameters to
|
||||
"document defaults"
|
||||
|
||||
- when the cursor is inside a collapsible inset, `Edit>Open/close
|
||||
float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should
|
||||
help entering of ERT insets)
|
||||
|
||||
- update Finnish, Danish, French and Russian localizations
|
||||
|
||||
- update Tutorial to 1.2.x features
|
||||
|
||||
- better support for entering Cyrillic and Greek alphabets
|
||||
|
||||
- cleanup shortcuts for section layouts. Starred versions are now
|
||||
obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ...,
|
||||
M-p asterisk 6)
|
||||
|
||||
- add keyboard shortcuts to the Documents menu
|
||||
|
||||
- support the numpad direction keys as equivalent to normal cursor
|
||||
keys
|
||||
|
||||
- it is now possible to specify a non-existent file name on the command
|
||||
line and have this file created for you
|
||||
|
||||
- new class cl2emult; update template for IEEEtran; small update to
|
||||
heb-article and hollywood textclasses
|
||||

||||
