What's new in LyX 2.0.2
What's new in LyX 2.0.3
=======================
There have been several improvements to LyX's ability to export documents
in the background, so the program does not freeze during compilation. We
hope to continue these improvements throughout the 2.0.x series.
There have been several more updates to LyX's Sweave support. Work on this
is expected to continue through the 2.0.x series.
There have been major updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Please see
below for the details.
LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken
to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter.
A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used. Additionally,
byte-compiled python files changed their installation target. Distribution
maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets.
The ctex document classes, used for Chinese documents, are now supported
by LyX.
Support for the Springer document classes has been updated for compatibility
with the lasest versions. This has the side-effect that files, created with
LyX 2.0.2 or future, using a Springer document class, will not be compilable
with LyX versions older than LyX 2.0.2. The same applies for files created
with LyX 1.6.10 or older that are saved with LyX 2.0.2 or future.
There have again been several updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Not
as many as with 2.0.2, but quite a few.

@ -58,101 +54,107 @@ What's new
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Completely revised support for the latest versions of the Springer
document classes svjour3, svmono and svmult.
- Add support for `knitr', an alternative for Sweave on R >= 2.14.1
(bug 7887).
- Add possibility to export the R code from a sweave-enabled document
(part of bug 7555).
- Improved output of Comment notes for XHTML. These are now div's that are
hidden by the default CSS.
- XHTML export now respects font color and background color from
Document->Settings->Colors.
- New layout and template file for articles in the Journal of the Acoustical
Society of America (JASA).
- Added support for ctex document classes (bug 7495).
- Speed up autosave a bit by not cloning child documents (bug 7923).
- Don't use the first python binary in the PATH environment variable if
this is not a version 2.x binary, but try to find a suitable one.
Note that this mechanism triggers only if the binary is invoked exactly
as "python -tt", which is the way it is done internally.
- Allow redirecting stderr in converters (other than stdout).
- Add LaTeX commands for unicode symbols U+200c, U+2011, U+2017, U+2027 and
U+202f to be used with non-unicode LaTeX backends (bug 7998).
** TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS
* TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS
- tex2lyx (that is used to import TeX files) now produces the current
file format 413.
- Support for included external files via the templates
- PDF pages
- Chess diagram
- Spreadsheet
- tex2lyx now supports the conversion of:
- tabular* environments are imported
* The font packages utopia, fourier, ccfonts, chancery and beraserif.
- Formal tables are now supported (bug 4553).
* Documents where no language package is set, or if a language package
are set that work independently of babel and polyglossia.
* The setting of the document-wide background color and text color
(\color, \pagecolor), the background color of shaded boxes and the
text color of greyed-out notes.
* Horizontal lines (\rule).
* Phantom spaces (\phantom, \hphanton, \vphantom).
* Custom width for nomenclature list (\printnomenclature).
* All types of underlined or striked out text.
* Hyperlinks (\href).
* Rotated floats (sidewaysfigure, sidewaystable).
* Wrapped floats (wrapfigure, wraptable) (bug 4378).
* Subfloats (\subfloat).
* Frameless boxes (\makebox). (\mbox is not yet supported by LyX.)
* Command \date{} in the preamble to suppress the date output.
- Augmented the tex2lyx --help message with the default paths (bug 6827).
- Support for change tracking commands (bug 4213).
* USER INTERFACE
- New menu entry Edit->Select Whole Inset.
- Added scalable LyX icon in svg format (bug 7919).
- Speed up cursor movement when inline completion is enabled in math.
- Clarify what the user can do when hyperref is provided by the document
class (bug 6293).
- Make InsetInfo output a path matching the LaTeX compiler.
- Slightly reduced space around inset buttons, to make it clearer when
there is a real space there (bug 7256).
- Improve creation of a LyX archive. Now also the files referenced in ERT
in the document body (e.g., through \input or \insertgraphics) are
included in the archive.
- Let inset-toggle work for very large documents (bug 7945).
- When changing the document language, also change the language of the
text which is not explicitly marked in a different language,
irrespective of the multilingual status, except for LTR<=>RTL changes.
- Disable spell checker dialog for empty documents (bug 5585).
- New command-line switch -v (--version) for tex2lyx showing build
information and version number (bug 6827).
- Display some commands from mathtools.sty natively (bug 7949).
- Add the directory /usr/share/myspell as default location for dictionary
lookup of hunspell spell checker backend (a common location on linux).
Detect value change of preferences path to hunspell dictionaries
to avoid the need for a restart. This is related to bug 7884.
- We now use the display string as a tooltip in the Outliner, if no
other tooltip is given.
- Show check mark on current math limit type in Edit>Math submenu.
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- The LyX documentation covers now all new features of LyX 2.0.x; the
User's guide, EmbeddedObjects and the Math manual have been revised
accordingly.
