Public release of LyX version 1.3.5
Public release of LyX version 1.3.6
===================================
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.3.5.
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.3.6.
This is mainly a bugfix release, with few notable user-visible
improvements. However, we would like to highlight two fixes in particular:
* Nested documents (with Insert>Include File...), which have been
broken since LyX 1.2.0, should now work properly, including the
case where the files are in different directories.
* It is now possible to compile LyX with gcc 3.4.
Unix and MacOSX users should consider this to be a bugfix release.
To Windows users, however, LyX 1.3.6 is the first version of LyX
to support the platform officially. This means that we've put a huge
effort into squashing those bugs that were present in Ruurd Reitsma's
unofficial ports to Windows. Large chunks of the code base have been
touched in an attempt to resolve these problems so whilst we're
confident that LyX/Win 1.3.6 will be the best ever version of LyX on
Windows, we cannot say that it's bug free.
We would like to highlight three fixes in particular:
* It is now possible to typeset files which reside in a directory with
spaces in its name; this requires a modern TeX implementation (such
as teTeX 3.0).
* It is possible to use Ctrl-PageDown and Control-PageUp (<cmd>-tab
and <cmd>-backtab with Qt/Mac) to switch between the open documents.
* LaTeX-type accents, ligature breaks and hyphenation marks are now
considered as part of words
The complete list of improvements and fixes can be found at the end of
this message.

not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving
details of visual layout to the software.
LyX runs on many Unix platforms, OS/2, and under Windows/Cygwin
(this port requires an X server). It can also run natively on Mac
OS X, thanks to the Qt/Mac library.
LyX was originally a Unix application, but now runs natively on
Windows and Mac OS X as well thanks, in part, to the cross-platform Qt
GUI libraries.

What's new
==========
** Updates
- Add a new textclass, svglobal. It is needed for various
Springer Verlag journals for which no specific class exists.
- Add a new bindings file mac.bind for LyX/Mac.
- The script used to control the generation of bitmap images for use
in 'Instant Preview' of math equations has been re-written in python.
Windows users now have some chance of getting Instant Preview to
work for them.
- The built-in Qt dialogs are now correctly translated for the
languages that Qt supports [Qt >= 3.2 only].
- Add support for Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian and Nynorsk.
- Updated the Basque, Danish, German, Italian, Romanian, Russian (fix crash
when autosaving) and Spanish localizations. Updated the Basque and German
documentation.
** Bug fixes
* Document input/output:
- Partly fix the handling of included files. External insets are still not
working correctly [bug #605].
- Fix nesting of language change commands, especially important for
Arabic [bugs #1225, #1404].
- Fix missing line break in front of \end{...} in some cases [bug #1225].
- Run makeindex and bibtex correctly when the file name contains some
special characters [bug #1526].
- Prevent clashes with LaTeX packages defining "\boldsymbol" [bug #1498].
- Make import of the preamble of LaTeX files more robust [bug #1584].
- Fix handling of floats and counters in svjog and svprobth
textclasses [bug #1430].
- Fix handling of counters in the scrlettr and scrlttr2 classes.
- Fix off-by-one-error which caused LyX to choose the wrong custom margin
package.
- Remove extra spaces around math insets in plain text output.
- Quote shell variables correctly in the generated sh script used
to control the conversion of graphics images to a loadable format.
Ditto for the convertDefault.sh script.
* User Interface:
- Use opening quotation marks after an opening square bracket.
- Fix the toggling of the short title inset in some cases.
- When the autodetection of latex classes cannot be done for some
reason, provide a sensible list of textclasses.
- Honor correctly the various locale-related environment variables when
looking for translated help files.
- Prevent activation of the Ok and Apply buttons in the reference
dialog when simply manipulating the list of references in the dialog.
- Set the default button in the print dialog, activated on Return,
to be the Ok button rather than the Close button. [bug #1465, Qt only].
- Enable instant preview to work on Solaris machines.
- Fix an annoying "could not delete temp dir" warning.
- Fix some math bindings like "M-m [" for german or french keyboards.
- Don't allow the insertion of incomplete citation references,
which led to a crash [bug 1617].
- Correct the spelling of the "Acknowledgements" style in the APA layout.
* Configuration/Installation:
- When running under Windows, configure correctly the ps and pdf
viewers [bug #1508].
- The Qt-related parts of the configure script honors the environment
variables MOC and UIC if they are set.
- The precompiled .pyc files in the lib/lyx2lyx/ directory are not
distributed anymore, since they were not correct anyway.
- Fix compilation for OpenBSD.
- Fix compilation with SGI C++ compiler.
- Fix compilation with gcc 3.4.
- Fix linking with Qt/Mac 3.3.1.
- Fix warning with automake 1.7.
