Public release of LyX version 1.4.2
Public release of LyX version 1.4.3
===================================
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.2. This is a bug fix
release that improves performance, stability and native OS support.
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.3. This is a bug fix
release that improves stability and MS Windows support.
Notable new features include:
- LyX now automatically uses file viewers and editors set at OS level
[Windows and Mac OS X only].
- The windows port does not need a MSys (unix-like tools) installation
anymore.
- The windows installer has been completely rewritten.
- A new function inset-dissolve has been added to delete an inset like
a footnote and put its contents in the enclosing text; this can be
accessed (like in the math editor) by pressing Backspace at the
start of an inset, or Delete at the end.
- A new function buffer-toggle-compression (and corresponding entry in
the Document menu) has been added to change whether the file will be
compressed on disk or not.
- A "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format has been added. This new output
format produces .tex files that are suitable for pdflatex, including
figure conversion to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.
- Many crashes have been fixed, in particlualr for systems based on
gcc 4.1.
See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release.

What's new in version 1.4.2?
What's new in version 1.4.3?
----------------------------
** Updates
** Updates:
- LyX now automatically uses file viewers and editors set at OS level
[Windows and Mac OS X only] (bug 2017).
- All shell scripts have been translated to python so sh.exe is no
longer needed. That's a big plus for the Windows port.
- Add a new function buffer-toggle-compression (and corresponding entry
in the Document menu) to change whether the file will be compressed
on disk or not.
- Implement inset-dissolve feature; this can be accessed (like in
mathed) by pressing Backspace at the start of an inset, or Delete at
the end (bug 2201).
- Update the German, Hungarian, Italian (bug 2650), Polish, Slovak,
Spanish and Turkish localizations of the interface.
- Add buttons for \intop and \ointop to the math panel (bug 2698)
- Update translations of documentation for German (all) and Hungarian
(Introduction, splash document, new tutorial examples).
- Native support for \phantom, \hphantom and \vphantom in mathed (bug 1473).
- Add support for Austrian (new spelling) as a document language.
- Some small updates to the documentation.
- Add the "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format. This new output format produces
.tex files that are suitable for pdflatex, including figure conversion
to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.
- Update Basque, Czech (new), French, German (bug 2718), Hungarian,
Italian (bug 2774), NyNorsk and Spanish localizations.
- Add biographynophoto style to IEEEtran.layout; add a new text class for
International Journal of Modern Physics C (and update support for
IJMP D).

(bug 2782).
** Bug fixes
- Ignore the definition of LyXgreyout environment when re-importing a
LyX-generated LaTeX file (part of bug 2420).
- When exporting to LaTeX an external inset with template XFig,
require the color package, since XFig generates LaTeX code with
\color (bug 2716).
- Make sure enough passes are made to update the table of contents
when running LaTeX (bug 2616).
- Don't add extra braces when reading documents containing \choose,
\atop or \over (bug 2481).

* User Interface:

- Fix random crashes resulting of an incompatibility of the included
boost::bind library with gcc 4.1 (bug 2677, probably also 2662 and 2684).
- Much better performance of screen updating in LyX/Mac, and with an
acceptable UI.
- Fix a crash when using next-inset-toggle (Ctrl+I) inside mathed;
inset locking in mathed generally work (bug 2756).
- Don't jump back to the previous cursor position when trying to click on
an inset (bug 2526).
- Fix a crash on save (including dataloss) when the backup directory
creation failed or the directory is not writeable(bug 2740).
- Fix several cursor movement functions when initiating a selection
(bugs 2119 and 2259, and a crash).

(bug 2603).
- Fix a crash when scrolling the document and the cursor is inside an
inset (bug 2830).
- When pasting contents to a tabular with the middle mouse button, the
language could sometimes be changed. This is fixed now.
- Fix lockup when accepting a change in a text inset (bug 2510).

if it exists (bug 2779).

table.

- Fix the 'check' make target for systems which do not have
/bin/bash (bug 2524).
- Load the tipa package automatically when needed.
- Set CPPFLAGS only if it not already set by the user
(and ignore CXXFLAGS when setting CPPFLAGS).
- Properly strike out deleted math formulas when change tracking is
active (bug 2214).
- Handle properly gcc 4.1 in configure.
- Don't get confused by 0-Characters in MikTeX logfiles anymore.
- Install python files together with precompiled versions.
- Always honor the "Requirement" tag in External Template Definitions.
- A scons build system is added, for details please see INSTALL.scons.
- Fix tex2lyx to handle whitespace in front of required arguments (bug 2546).
- LyX can be compiled with MSVC using qt3 from the Q../Free project and scons.
- Update templates and examples to the latest file format.
- 'scons install' now produces a cygwin-compatible binary package under cygwin.

pdflatex (bug 2235).
* Miscellaneous
- Fix a LaTeX crash on multi-paragraph boxes.
- Display LaTeX package checking results faster during configuration.
- Fix LaTeX errors with memoir and makeindex (bug 2623).
- Log the output of configure.py to a log file configure.log.
* Miscellaneous:
- Do automatic reconfiguration even when running in batch mode (bug 2741).
- Replace the old sh version of lib/configure with the new python version
lib/configure.py. The TexFiles.sh script (which crashed on Windows)
has also been pythonified.
- Change the encoding of some python scripts from iso-8859-15 to
iso-8859-1. The former causes problems with embedded python.
- It is longer necessary to run lib/configure.py in the main LyX
support directory.
- remove outdated development tools & outdated LyXConfig.LyX.
- Reading of configuration now goes like this: LyX first reads the file
lyxrc.dist (if it exists). If lib/configure.py is newer than
any of lyxrc.defaults, textclass.lst or packages.lst, it is re-run
before loading lyxrc.defaults and preferences.
- remove all references to reLyX which has been replaced by tex2LyX.
- Automatically use fonts in the fonts/ subdirectory of the LyX support
directory on Windows.
- When compiling with --with-version-suffix on Windows, do not
rename the executable files.
- Fix lib/configure.py to find tex2lyx when compiling with
--with-version-suffix (bug 2285).
- Fix lib/configure.py to find tex2lyx if the path to it contains spaces.
- Use the clean_dvi.py script on Windows not only in the installer but also
in the source package.
- Fix the code to find the localization of the interface on Windows
and Mac OS X.
- Fix hyphens in man pages.
- Replace the \cygwin_path_fix_needed preference with the better named
\tex_expects_windows_paths; this is auto-detected and matters only on
Windows.
- Remove the --enable-compression-support option of configure. Compression
support via zlib is now a requirement.
- Fix compilation on DragonFly BSD.
- fix image paths in german userguide (bug 2660)
