What's new in version 1.4.0?
|
||||
What's new in version 1.5.0?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
** Improved user interface
|
||||
* Unicode
|
||||
|
||||
LyX 1.4 has a re-designed layout for the menus, designed to decrease
|
||||
clutter and maximise productivity. Several menu items (in the Edit
|
||||
menu) are now context-sensitive, so they only appear when needed. For
|
||||
the die-hard old LyX users, the older layout (referred to as the
|
||||
classic UI) is still available, for now.
|
||||
LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew
|
||||
of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic
|
||||
languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to
|
||||
encodings current available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8
|
||||
encoding or such brand new typesetting systems as XeTeX.
|
||||
Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some
|
||||
areas still need a cleanup it is very likely that some bugs related to
|
||||
the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known
|
||||
bugs in LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related
|
||||
to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel
|
||||
mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
It's now possible to define multiple toolbars as seen in other
|
||||
editors. By default, the new LyX release has two toolbars displayed,
|
||||
the standard one (similar to the static toolbar in LyX 1.3), plus the
|
||||
extra toolbar. In addition, there are two pre-defined toolbars
|
||||
available: one for tables, and one for math.
|
||||
* Multiple views of the same buffer
|
||||
|
||||
Another new feature worth mentioning is popup toolbars: you can set a
|
||||
toolbar such that it only appears when editing math, or when editing a
|
||||
table.
|
||||
LyX can now display multiple views of the same buffer. I.e., you can
|
||||
now open a single document in multiple windows and work on different
|
||||
parts of it synchronously.
|
||||
|
||||
** Change tracking
|
||||
* Outliner
|
||||
|
||||
This new feature, similar to that found in Microsoft Word and others,
|
||||
makes collaboration on a document a cinch. It provides a way to track
|
||||
changes made to a document, and later approve, reject, or modify such
|
||||
changes.
|
||||
LyX has another long-awaited feature: a basic outliner mode, in which
|
||||
you can move chapters and sections around in the Table of Contents
|
||||
dialog. (The outliner has been backported and was released with LyX
|
||||
1.4.4.)
|
||||
|
||||
** Much better conversion from .tex to .lyx
|
||||
* Session managment
|
||||
|
||||
The ancient and unloved Perl script, reLyX has finally bitten the dust
|
||||
and been replaced by the brand new and shiny tex2lyx. tex2lyx's LaTeX
|
||||
parser follows most of the rules of the real TeX and so is already
|
||||
much more powerful than reLyX ever was.
|
||||
LyX is now able to remember window size and position and it will
|
||||
reopen the documents you worked on last time around. If you've
|
||||
selected the feature in the Preferences dialog, it'll even move the
|
||||
cursor to the place you were working on last! Furthermore, toolbars
|
||||
can (finally!) be switched on/off in View->Toolbars and moved about in
|
||||
the LyX window. The session managment will remember their state.
|
||||
|
||||
** Character styles
|
||||
* Source code Viewer
|
||||
|
||||
For a system that purports to make it easy to write documents full of
|
||||
logical (as opposed to visual markup), LyX has always had one glaring
|
||||
omission: no character styles. LyX 1.4 goes some way towards
|
||||
addressing this defect, although there's no dialog to define your own
|
||||
styles.
|
||||
As a kind of "anti-preview-latex", a dialog was implemented that lets
|
||||
you view the source code of a given paragraph/selection or the whole
|
||||
document.
|
||||
|
||||
* New Font Selection Interface
|
||||
|
||||
** Branches
|
||||
LyX's font selection abilities have been one of its weakest and most
|
||||
outdated components. A completely new interface was implemented that
|
||||
provides access to the power of LaTeX's font selection scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
* Tabular extensions
|
||||
|
||||
The teacher who's setting an exam obviously doesn't want her pupils
|
||||
seeing the answers, yet having questions and answers in the same
|
||||
document will make the life of the markers of that exam much easier.
|
||||
LyX's table support is certainly less powerful than that of
|
||||
LaTeX. support for the booktabs package was implemented, which
|
||||
provides beautiful and elegant tabulars.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That's just one example of someone who would benefit from LyX's new
|
||||
"branches" feature. In fact, anyone who writes documents which have
|
||||
more than one target audience will find this feature useful.
|
||||
* Glossaries
|
||||
|
||||
** Minipages evolve to Boxes
|
||||
Native LyX support for the nomencl package was implemented. With this,
|
||||
you can treat your document with all sorts of nomenclatures,
|
||||
glossaries and fancy notations.
|
||||
|
||||
In 1.3, LyX only had native support for plain minipages. Now you can
|
||||
use a wide range of box types and decorations directly from the LyX
|
||||
GUI
|
||||
* Tabbed Widget
|
||||
|
||||
** Notes
|
||||
LyX now uses tabbed widgets to display multiple documents.
|
||||
|
||||
LyX now has three different Notes for you to add to your document from
|
||||
the Insert>Note menu:
|
||||
* Frontend News
|
||||
|
||||
- the "LyX Note" is not exported to LaTeX, as now. The "Comment" is
|
||||
- exported to LaTeX as a comment environment and is not processed
|
||||
further.
|
||||
- The Greyed Out note is visible in your PostScript or PDF output as,
|
||||
well, greyed-out text.
|
||||
LyX 1.5 will use the Qt4 toolkit. This is especially good news for
|
||||
Windows users, since there's an official, GPL version of Qt4. They no
|
||||
longer have to rely on an unofficial port of the Unix Qt3 library to
|
||||
Windows. The good old XForms frontend went the way of the dodo. It
|
||||
was both hated and loved, and certainly shaped the unique look of LyX
|
||||
in the past. It was finally killed off, however, by the switch to
|
||||
unicode. The Qt3 frontend was removed. The work on the GTK frontend
|
||||
has been transfered to a branch because its development has
|
||||
essentially stalled.
|
||||
|
||||
** Better language and numbering on screen
|
||||
* Change tracking enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
Two features help to make the screen rendering closer to the printed output:
|
||||
Major parts of the change tracking code were rewrote addressing
|
||||
several problems that existed in the existing implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
- the labels attached to layouts like Chapter are now translated in
|
||||
the language of the document, which may be different from the
|
||||
language of the menus;
|
||||
- sectioning headers and theorems are now numbered according to the
|
||||
document class specifications.
|
||||
* Converter file cache
|
||||
|
||||
** Word count
|
||||
A cache for converted files, such as included figures, was
|
||||
implemented. This can speed up LyX's performance considerably when
|
||||
displaying documents with many included figures that need conversion
|
||||
to a format that can be rendered on screen. The converter file cache
|
||||
is disabled by default, and there is no GUI for configuring it yet. If
|
||||
you want to use it, add the line
|
||||
\use_converter_cache true
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, it's finally there! Tools>Count Words will give you a word
|
||||
count of the document or of the current selection.
|
||||
to your preferences file. The default maximum age of a cached file is
|
||||
6 months. You can change that with the line
|
||||
\converter_cache_maxage xxx
|
||||
|
||||
** Error Lists
|
||||
where xxx is the maximum age in seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
Nasty "error boxes" were eliminated in favor of a dialog with a list
|
||||
of errors popping up at compilation time.
|
||||
* Under the hood
|
||||
|
||||
** Improved bibliography support
|
||||
|
||||
- LyX's support for natbib has been enhanced. Now, also the mysterious
|
||||
"before citation" field is supported;
|
||||
- We have added support for jurabib, an amazing package to produce
|
||||
flexible citations that are especially well suited for the humanities
|
||||
and law fields;
|
||||
- Support for sectioned bibliographies (bibtopic) has been added;
|
||||
- the way bibtex is called is now customizable (as is the way the
|
||||
index processor is invoked).
|
||||
|
||||
** Improved microtypography support
|
||||
|
||||
LyX aims to produce superior typography. With 1.4, it supports:
|
||||
|
||||
- more blank characters (e.g. a "thin space", which should stand here
|
||||
between "e." and "g.");
|
||||
- inner and outer quotation marks without the hassle of toggling the
|
||||
style in the documents dialog. Just use the Alt key.
|
||||
- the handling of figure and table alignment inside floats has been
|
||||
improved. You can now use the paragraph dialog without getting too
|
||||
much space between figure/table and caption.
|
||||
|
||||
** Small bits
|
||||
|
||||
- Figure and table floats can be rotated sideways
|
||||
|
||||
- The external xfig inset has been improved especially with regard to
|
||||
pdf generation
|
||||
|
||||
- The graphics inset dialog has now an "edit" button that allows to
|
||||
edit the included figure
|
||||
|
||||
- For index generation, xindy can be used instead of makeindex, which
|
||||
has poor support for other than English index sorting.
|
||||
As usual, one big task has been the ongoing code cleanup of the LyX
|
||||
core. Performing this cleanup makes the code more understandable and
|
||||
easier to maintain. It also leads inevitably to a more robust
|
||||
application. Nonetheless, it's an unfortunate fact of life that ugly
|
||||
code is sometimes faster than pretty code. We're well aware that LyX
|
||||
1.4 is slower than LyX 1.3. One important goal of this 1.5 development
|
||||
series has been to bring this speed back.
|
||||
|
||||
** Bug fixes
|
||||
|
||||
Lots of long-lasting bugs have been fixed, as documented in LyX
|
||||
bugzilla. Probably some new ones have been introduced instead ;-)

What's new in version 1.4.4?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
** Updates:
|
||||
***********
|
||||
|
||||
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
|
||||
|
||||
- Improve Computer Algebra System support in math editor.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add support for fixed size math delimiters in math editor.
|
||||
|
||||
- Convert included vector graphics to pdf instead of png for pdflatex export
|
||||
(bug 2868). This is implemented with the help of a new format flag "vector"
|
||||
that you have to set manually for your self defined vector graphics formats
|
||||
if you want to use this feature.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add a wmf -> eps converter (bug 2845) and a latex -> rtf converter.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add the layout file and an example document for the beamer
|
||||
presentation class (these files where taken from the beamer package
|
||||
by Till Tantau); new layout file ISPRS (Int. Soc. Photogrammetry &
|
||||
Remote Sensing); new layout file for Arabic articles; update layout
|
||||
file for REVTeX4 (bug 1215)
|
||||
|
||||
- New external template for LilyPond (a music typesetter).
|
||||
|
||||
* USER INTERFACE:
|
||||
|
||||
- Outline support: it is now possible to move around parts of
|
||||
documents in the Table of Contents dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add new UI settings default-autotoolbars and default-alltoolbars
|
||||
allowing to select what toolbars are active.
|
||||
|
||||
- The layout lfun without an argument does now set the layout to the default
|
||||
layout of the text class. This is used by a new button "Default" in the
|
||||
extra toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add a menu entry for numbered formulas (bug 2901).
|
||||
|
||||
- Updates to the european keyboard map (useful for entering accented
|
||||
characters on a qwerty keyboard).
|
||||
|
||||
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION

|
||||

- Fix a LaTeX crash on multi-paragraph boxes.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix LaTeX errors with memoir and makeindex (bug 2623).
|
||||
|
||||
* Miscellaneous:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- It is longer necessary to run lib/configure.py in the main LyX
|
||||
support directory.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
