Public release of LyX version 1.5.3
Public release of LyX version 1.5.4
====================================
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.3. This is a maintenance
release that further improves the stability and the performance. Besides
numerous crashes, the display problems that slipped into 1.5.2 with
the performance fixes (on the Mac and on Windows) as well as problems
entailed to the reworked document classes were fixed. Furthermore, LyX 1.5.3
comes with speed improvements that should pay off especially on the Mac and
other UNIXes. Finally, this version also provides some new features.
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.4. This is a maintenance
release. Besides the usual stability improvements and fixes, this release
comes with major improvements in the handling of Chinese, Korean and
Japanese (CJK) languages and scripts, and introduces some minor new
features (such as a character count option).
A detailed list of changes is appended below.
All users, especially CJK users, are encouraged to upgrade to this
version.
All users, especially the Mac and Windows users, are encouraged to upgrade
to this version.
Caveat: We were forced to switch from the LaTeX package 'floatflt' to
'wrapfig' for wrap figure floats due to a license problem that limited
the availability of the former package. In general, this should improve
your documents containing wrap figures, however, it is possible that the
look and positioning of the floats changes due to the package change. If
you have documents with wrap floats, please make a backup before upgrading
and check the output.
The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some remaining known problems.

What's new in version 1.5.3?
What's new in version 1.5.4?
----------------------------
** Updates:
***********
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- Updated Czech, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
Norwegian, Spanish and Traditional Chinese translations of the user
interface.
- New Spanish translation of the example file "ItemizeBullets.lyx".
- New French translation of the EmbeddedObjects manual.
- Updated French introduction manual and User's Guide.
- Revised Tutorial
* USER INTERFACE
- The way collapsable insets (footnotes, comments etc) are widened has
seen a complete overhaul in order to speedup painting when typing
within insets. Now these insets take the whole screen width as soon
as they contain more than one row of text. Users of Mac/PPC and of
Unices with slow X11 server should feel a significant boost in
performance thanks to this change.
- The pixmap cache that was introduced in LyX 1.5.2 to improve performance
can now be switched on and off in Preferences, since it might decrease
on-screen display quality of fonts (subpixel hinting). By default, the
cache is disabled. If you experience performance problems, turn in on
(Mac and Windows only).
- The behaviour of Return and M-Return has changed: they now allow to either
keep current paragraph and depth or to nesting paragraph (bug 2445).
- Add the esint font to the private math fonts. This font assures a
consistent on screen looking for all kinds of supported integral signs.
- The slides/foils of presentation classes such as beamer, powerdot, foils
and slides are now displayed in the outliner. This makes it easy to navigate
to specific slides or move them up and down (bug 78).
- It is now possible to enter greek and cyrillic characters and have them
typeset without switching to the proper language.
- Add native Erlang support for listings (bug 4263).
- The on-screen representation of charstyle insets has been polished:
they now integrate better in the line. Furthermore, their label is
not displayed anymore by default (it can be toggled globally by
"View->Open all Insets" and individually by clicking the right mouse
button). As a new type of information, the type of a charstyle inset
is now displayed in the status bar when the mouse hovers over it.
- Inset-dissolve now works in mathed.
- Placeholders have been moved from the miscellaneous to the spacings section
in the math toolbar.
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- tex2lyx now imports the following LaTeX commands and environments:
- \newline
- environments "framed" and "shaded" from package framed.sty (i.e. framed
and shaded notes in LyX)
- \selectlanguage, \foreignlanguage, and \inputencoding (bug 27).
- all font settings that are natively supported by LyX.
- all quotation marks (bug 2703).
- xdg-open and sensible-editor are now detected as possible viewer (wrappers).
** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Fix a crash when exporting a file with a branch from the command line
(bug 4255).
- Fix a crash when importing an older LyX file (version < 1.5.0) that
contains index entries with escaped umlauts (bug 4333).
- Fix a crash when importing an older LyX file (version < 1.1.6) that used
the "default" language.
- Exit gracefully and give the user some information if LyX catches an
exception from an external program, such as iconv (part of bug 4385).
- Fix LaTeX output of AMS classes when using layouts like Definition but
not using also Theorem (bug 4282).
- Remove obsolete LaTeX preamble code that was set when a document contained
URLs (bug 2265).
- If there exists a local layout file, use the local copy instead of the
system one.
- Use package "float" when the default placement for floats is set to
'Here, definitely'.
- Fix import of bounding box arguments "natheight", "natwidth", "bbllx",
"bblly", "bburx" and "bbury" (bug 4418).
* USER INTERFACE:
- Fix a crash when using bookmarks in insets (bug 4301).
- Fix a crash when some files or directories are not readable.
- Fix a crash when pasting into a math formula (bug 4318).
- Fix a crash when deleting a row or column of a math matrix while its
content is selected (bug 4323).
- Fix a crash when inserting a label after a math matrix (bug 4334).
- Fix a crash when overwriting a selection that spans multiple paragraphs
(bug 4317).
- Fix a crash when using the outline-* lfuns within mathed (bug 4330).
- Fix an assertion when entering a math object in a list environment (bug 4335).
- Fix a crash when the cursor leaves the first paragraph of the
appendix and it is empty (bug 4352).
- Fix a crash when editing in an inset that contains an horizontal spring
(hfill).
- Fix a crash when pasting text from the clipboard into a multi-line
tabular cell (bug 4368).
- Fix a crash when inserting a file in a tabular cell via
Insert->File->Plain Text...
- Fix a crash when using the regex search of the citation dialog (bug 4421).
- Correctly adjust screen fonts after the zoom or dpi settings were changed in
the preferences (Mac and Windows only) (bug 4268).
- Fix updating of externally modified files on Windows both in the workarea and
in the output (bug 3172).
- Fix loading of the CJK package in multilingual documents (part of bug 4337).
- Fix a problem on Windows where invalid names were given to backup files
(bug 4287).
- Fix a bug where the spellchecker didn't update the screen display on the last
of several misspelled words (bug 3586).
- Fix a bug where the spellchecker skipped the first misspelled word on a second
run (bug 2218).
- If the text of footnotes is in a different language than the main text, it
was not aligned correctly. This is fixed.
- Fix cut and paste of tabular cells via the external clipboard (bug 4147).
- Fix undo in tabulars after pasting via the external clipboard (bug 4371).
- Fix undo in tabulars after inserting a file via Insert->File->Plain Text...
- Fix middle-mouse paste from other apps into LyX (bug 4394).
- Repair wasy font such that it can also be used on Mac (bug 2326).
- Fix color of some math symbols (bug 2330).
- Fix math display problem with binoms (bug 4308).
- Fix problem in conversion of equations to eqnarray (when pressing C-Enter).
- Fix a bug when adding a math formula column.
- Check and show proper error message if configure.py fails (part of bug 2829).

* DOCUMENTATION
- Fix corrupted character in the User's Guide (including the translations).

"Waehrungen.lyx". The file is obsolete, since LyX allows direct insertion
of currency symbols as of version 1.5.0.
- Remove the German example file "TabellenBeispiel.lyx" and its French
version "ExemplesTableaux.lyx". The files have been obsoleted by the
EmbeddedObjects documentation.
