** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Fix LaTeX import of aligned consecutive paragraphs (bug 4806).
- Fix font size handling when importing LaTeX files (bug 4803 and
bug 4807).
- After an inset, don't always revert to the language's default encoding
for latex output, but honor that specified in the document settings
(bug 4665).
- Close font macros (such as \emph) before comments, greyedout, framed
and shaded notes, thus fixing a problem where documents couldn't be
compiled anymore.
- Fix LaTeX error "unknown color 'ignore'" when setting text style
attributes in mathed (bug 4091).
- Assure amsthm is loaded if a theorem is defined with \theoremstyle.
- Fix LaTeX errors triggered by switching from ams article to ams plain
article.
- Fix drawing of top and bottom rules in formal tables (bug 4554).
- Fix reversion of OHM and ANGSTROM characters to LyX < 1.5.0 (rest of
bug 3313).
- Check for the LaTeX packages "nicefrac" and "units" that are used by
LyX.
- Check for PDF->PS, PDF->EPS and PS->EPS converters and use them (bug
3968).
- Stop warning messages when a local layout file is opened. Fix bugs
caused by incorrect reloading of local layout files.
- Use verbose htlatex command instead of oolatex, if available, since the
latter caused problems on some systems (bug 4604).
- Use package amsbsy for bold math symbols obtained through the \boldsymbol
macro, such that bold super and subscripts have the correct size even
when not using the complete amsmath package.
- Fix loading of lyx documents generated with csv2lyx (bug 4639).
- Move \label{} outside of listings option caption={} because the listings
package prefers a separate label={} option.
- Set the correct encoding when an ASCII encoded LaTeX file is imported
(bug 4719).
- Parse the command \makebox correctly when importing LaTeX files
(bug 2504).
- Import global paragraph settings correctly when importing LaTeX files
(bug 4773).
- Use style guide-conforming headings in the APA layout (bug 4827).
* USER INTERFACE:
- Fix a crash on startup with Qt 4.4 (bug 4568).
- Fix a crash that occured on some OSes when the character '{' was
inserted in the advanced input of the listings dialog (bug 4780).
- Fix an assertion with compressed image files that do not have a
zip-extension.
- Fix an assertion with incorrect argument for '-sysdir' command-line
switch (bug 4791).
- Correctly apply font changes when several math matrix cells are selected
(bug 4566).
- Allow deleting a label in a formula as well as the numbering with the
delete key (bug 2556).
- Allow to enter starred math commands such as \tag* (bug 4584).
- Load amsmath when \tag or \tag* is used (bug 4586).
- Fix parameter input of the math commands \makebox and \framebox (bug
2461).
- When cutting a selection do not leave a dangling paragraph (bug 3995).
- Improve the behaviour when inserting a collapsable inset over a multi-
paragraph selection.
- Fix the automatic uncollapsing of outliner during updates (bug 3740).
- Correctly handle quotation marks in command preferences (bug 2016).
- Remove the menu entries to swap rows/columns as this feature is not
implemented.
- Fix wrong focusing of buttons in search dialog (bug 4194).
- Disallow some Note variants in places where they would result in LaTeX
errors (part of bug 4180).
- Use *.* to select all files in the file selection dialog on Windows.
Using shortcuts for navigation is now possible.
- Fix \Vert symbol in the math panel (part of bug 4720).
- correct numbering inside multiline environments (bug 518).
- Fix typo in the script TeXFiles.py that scans for TeX files.
- Remove the menu entry Insert -> Math -> Toggle math panels, since
it actually does not insert anything and its functionality is covered
by menu View - > Toolbars -> Math Panels (bug 4765).
* DOCUMENTATION
- Fix LaTeX errors in the Spanish Tutorial, UserGuide, and Intro manual.
- Math manual:
- correct shortcuts for math fonts in section 11.1
- fix the description of the command \tag in section 19.4
- Man page: document -geometry option, update Copyright date (bug 4740).
- The tex2lyx man page was completely outdated and referred to reLyX in many
places (bug 2770). It has been cleaned up, but it is still outdated in
details.
* BUILD/INSTALLATION:
- fix the 'make check' target in src/support; one of the checks still
fails (bug 4638)
- fix the problems with compilation on gcc 4.3.0 with disabled pch headers.
- fix some compilation warnings.
