What's new in version 1.6.3?
----------------------------
** Updates:
***********
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- New Indonesian and Slovak localization of the user interface.
- New Indonesian translation of the Introduction and Tutorial manual.
- New French translation of LyX's list of defined shortcuts.
- New Japanese translation of the Math and Braille manual.
- Updated German, Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish,
Romanian, Turkish, and Ukrainian localization of the user interface.
- Updated English Extended manual.
- Updated English, French, German, Norwegian, and Spanish Introduction
manual.
- Updated English, French, German, and Spanish Math and User's Guide
manual.
- Updated Japanese User Guide and LaTeX Configuration manual.
- Updated English, German, and Spanish Customization manual.
- Updated Spanish Shortcuts list.
- Added documentation about the reverse DVI search feature in LyX
to the Additional Features manual.
- Updated the achemso.lyx example file for version 3.2 of the achemso
LaTeX-package.
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- tex2lyx is now able to read files in all latex supported encodings and
transform them into the proper unicode-based format introduced in 1.5.0.
This paves the way for many other improvements in LaTeX->LyX translation
(bugs 3035, 4379, 4917).
- Quotes in InsetListings are now plain quotes, rather than InsetQuote
entries (bug 5782).
- Improved re-import from LaTeX of documents containing unadorned unicode
symbols in math.
- Using the AMS \text macro now only requires the amstext package and not
the full amsmath package. The amstext package is also loaded when using
other text-in-math environments in order to get the correct size for
text super and subscripts.
- KDE 4's okular is considered as a viewer for PDF, PS and DVI.
- Revert to pre-1.6 behaviour of always enclosing the preamble between
\makeatletter and \makeatother when exporting to LaTeX and not only
when the @-glyph explicitly appears.
- The new eLyXer converter is used for HTML output if available.
* USER INTERFACE
- Add jump-back navigation to the standard toolbar and to the menu
(bug 898).
- Support for continued fractions (LaTeX-command \cfrac) in math/formulas
(bug 2473).
- Store the command buffer history in the session file and show it in
a pop-up list in the command buffer.
- Added locking capabilities for SVN version control support.
(Read the Additional Features manual for details.)
- Add Open/Close items to context menu of collapsable insets.
- LFUN_NEXT_BUFFER (Ctrl-PgUp) and LFUN_PREV_BUFFER (Ctrl-PgDn) now skip
documents that are loaded but not displayed in a window. Such documents
are also shown in a sub-menu of the Document menu (Bug 5872).
- Added tooltips for citation insets.
- Non-ascii characters entered or pasted in math are now by default
wrapped in a text-in-math environment. If desired, this can be avoided
by verbatim pasting (Ctrl+Shift+V) or by dissolving the text inset.
- Zooming is bound to LFUN_BUFFER_ZOOM_IN and LFUN_BUFFER_ZOOM_OUT
(next to ctrl+mousewheel), and the shortcuts M-plus (M-equal) and
M-minus are assigned to them (bug 3038).
- Reintroduce cross-referencing between independent files in the Reference
dialog.
- Add visual and tooltip indication of activation status for branches.
- Added keyboard shortcuts for paragraph settings (Alt+A ...).
- Improved display of citation information by gathering missing data from
the crossref field, as BibTeX does.
- Support the optional argument of \chapter* in the memoir class.
- Move the buffer-close button into each tabbar -- for Qt 4.5 (bug 3724).
- Support fullscreen menu under linux too -- for Qt 4.5 (bug 4888).
** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Fix reading of document when a customizable inset name contains a
space.
- Fix bug when using the characters # and % in hyperlinks that are e.g.
in footnotes (bug 5908).
- Fix reversion of aligned tables in subfloats to LyX 1.5 (bug 5918).
- Fix reversion of math and some other specific stuff in subfigure
caption to LyX 1.5.
- Fix reversion of info insets with a backslash to LyX 1.5.
- Fix unicode characters > LaTeX macro reversion to LyX 1.5.
- Fix LaTeX export of an isolated Japanese character when using
ISO-2022-JP encoding (bug 5802).
- Fix encoding failure after Listing insets in utf-8 documents (bug 5783).
- Fix conversion of the lilypond external inset with lilypond >= 2.11.x
(bug 5834).
- Fix LaTeX import when the AMS math package is used (bug 5846).
- Correct the LaTeX output of the GREEK ANO TELEIA symbol (part of
bug 5239).
- Disable page size, orientation and margin settings with beamer and
powerdot, since those values are hardcoded by the class. Thus, a
geometry option clash is avoided (bug 5863).
- Perform extra LaTeX run when requested by the French lettre class
(bug 5818).
- Support LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S (bug 5913). Note that only selected
fonts provide this character. Others output <SS>.
- Autosave files of still unnamed documents (newfiles) are now saved
in the backup dir, default document dir, or else in the temp dir.
- Make sure the autosave files are removed when a document is saved
with a different filename or in a different location (bug 5879).
- Fix bug in LyX internal file handling that would have caused returning
the listing of the parent directory if a directory path was specified
without a trailing slash (only converters may have been affected).
* USER INTERFACE
- Fix crash that might happen when pressing a key while the cursor is not
visible, thus requesting the view to be scrolled (bug 5888).
- Validate the input of Preferences>Output>Date Format and the argument
of the date-insert function. This fixes a crash on Windows with invalid/
unsupported date specifiers (bug 5827).
- Fix crash when issuing the command "buffer-switch <buffer>" and there
is no buffer called <buffer>.
- Fix crash in shortcut editor: Pressing delete again after deleting
a key binding causes segfault.
- Fix crash when closing a child after it has been unincluded from its
master (bug 5859).
- Fix crash when the dos-box is closed from which LyX was started
(bug 5758).
- Fix crash when passing a nonexisting file to the lyx function
server-goto-file-row.
- Fix crash when creating new file -- Qt 4.5 issue (bug 5887).
- Fix crash when reducing the size of the workarea such that the left
and right margins (specified in the layout) will overlap (bug 5890).
- Fix crash when undoing the expansion of a user-defined macro is
expanded in math after being finalized before (bug 5540).
- Fix the undo of info-insert, which caused a crash in math (bug 5930).
- Fix assertion with instant preview when nesting math in a text-in-math
environment (bug 5392).
- Fix a bug where LyX ate a large preamble consisting of many non-Western
characters (bug 5951).
- Improve responsiveness, especially on slow or networked drives, when
editing a master with child documents (bug 5705).
- After reloading a child document, correctly re-assign the master
(bug 5873).
- Fix downwards selection by mouse movement (part of bug 4464).
- Adjust the color of deletions slightly when using change tracking. It
is now easier to distinguish between added and deleted text (bug 5629).
- Fix the bug that the view source window remained disabled forever when
the window got disabled while the autoUpdate checkbox was unchecked.
- Fix the loss of clipboard contents on exit (bug 5769).
- Correctly reset language when pasting into ERT or listing.
- Allow again to allocate multiple header attributes to a longtable row
(bug 5950).
- Fix the annoying behaviour that the cursor got hidden by auto-toggling
of the math or table toolbar(s) (bug 4733).
- Fix the LFUN_SCREEN_RECENTER (bug 5526).
- Restore the document tabs from the previous session in the correct
order (bug 5001).
- Remember which document was active from the previous session (bug 5131).
- Allow to scroll down past a very large inset (part of bug 5465).
- Improve the selection of table cells with the keyboard (bug 1802).
- Correct cursor movement in cases where the cursor jumped to a different
paragraph while leaving a double space or an empty paragraph (bug 5088).
- Hide the close buffer button even when the tabbar is hidden (bug 5357).
- Prevent warning when opening the document settings or preferences
dialogs (bug 5799).
- Make labels for InsetListings update properly in child documents
(bug 5787).
- Do not close the math delimiters dialog when selecting a delimiter
without "match" being chosen (bug 5789).
- Ensure that in various dialogs the OK button is the default when the
Cancel and/or the Apply buttons are enabled too (bugs 4441, 5695).
- Do not create a new document when cancel is pressed in the "new from
template" dialog (bug 5848).
- Close the correct document when the close tab button is pressed while
the cursor is in another tabgroup (with split-screen) (bug 5819).
- Correctly restore documents that are assigned to a master.
- Accidentally adding more than two rows for cases environments in
formulas is no longer possible (bug 4141).
- Enable the possibility to specify icons for commands with backslashes.
- Disable the Edit->Math submenu when not in math (bug 4218).

What's new in version 1.6.3?
-------------------------------
This is the third maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. Besides the usual
improvements of stability, the highlights of this release are:

* The performance problems when editing a master with child documents have
been resolved.
* LyX 1.6.3 introduces some goodies provided by Qt 4.5 (menu support for
fullscreen mode in linux, close button on tabs). Of course these
improvements (as well as some Qt-related fixes) only show up if LyX is
compiled against Qt 4.5.
