What's new in version 2.0.6?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is a bug-fixing release, for the most part. Though, as it has been
|
||||
almost six months since the last release, a lot of important bugs have
|
||||
been fixed. Please see the ANNOUNCE file for details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What's new in version 2.0.5?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The View>Source widget now allows you to select the backend to display,
|
||||
e.g., LaTeX or XHTML, rather than the output format. The previous choice
|
||||
really made no sense: You didn't see a PDF there if you chose one of the
|
||||
PDF output formats, but rather LaTeX. This solves some long-standing issues
|
||||
with View>Source.
|
||||
|
||||
There has been an important change in how the "language" lfun works.
|
||||
- "language <LANG>" now toggles between languages
|
||||
(status quo ante LyX 2.0.2)
|
||||
- "language <LANG> set" sets to language <LANG>
|
||||
(meaning of "language <LANG>" as of LyX 2.0.2)
|
||||
- "language [reset]" resets to the document language.
|
||||
- Menu functions are unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What's new in version 2.0.4?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
We have migrated our development from subversion to the git revision
|
||||
control sytem. If you follow or maintain packaging of up-to-date versions
|
||||
of LyX 2.0.x, you must switch to the new repository address:
|
||||
git://git.lyx.org/lyx
|
||||
Branch 2.0.x is the stable branch. See
|
||||
http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseGIT
|
||||
for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the improvements in 2.0.4 are bug fixes, some of them important. In
|
||||
particular, we have fixed several crashes. The main outstanding problem is
|
||||
the inability to cancel the background export process. Some improvement has
|
||||
been made here, by updating the timeout mechanism, but more needs to be done,
|
||||
and hopefully will be done for 2.0.5.
|
||||
|
||||
There have been several updates to LyX's XHTML export routines. Work on this
|
||||
will continue for 2.0.5.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What's new in version 2.0.3?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There have been several more updates to LyX's Sweave support. Work on this
|
||||
is expected to continue through the 2.0.x series.
|
||||
|
||||
LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken
|
||||
to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter.
|
||||
A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used. Additionally,
|
||||
byte-compiled python files changed their installation target. Distribution
|
||||
maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets.
|
||||
|
||||
There have again been several updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Not
|
||||
as many as with 2.0.2, but quite a few.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What's new in version 2.0.2?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There have been several improvements to LyX's ability to export documents
|
||||
in the background, so the program does not freeze during compilation. We
|
||||
hope to continue these improvements throughout the 2.0.x series.
|
||||
|
||||
There have been major updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Please see
|
||||
below for the details.
|
||||
|
||||
The ctex document classes, used for Chinese documents, are now supported
|
||||
by LyX.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for the Springer document classes has been updated for compatibility
|
||||
with the lasest versions. This has the side-effect that files, created with
|
||||
LyX 2.0.2 or future, using a Springer document class, will not be compilable
|
||||
with LyX versions older than LyX 2.0.2. The same applies for files created
|
||||
with LyX 1.6.10 or older that are saved with LyX 2.0.2 or future.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What's new in version 2.0.1?
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
We have fixed an unusually large number of bugs for this release and made
|
||||
a number of improvements. All of these are detailed in the ANNOUNCE file.
|
||||
We would like to highlight the improved handling of external files referenced
|
||||
from ERT. This may cause issues for those who made use of the undocumented
|
||||
\input@path hack. See the ANNOUNCE file again for how to do things the new
|
||||
way. New methods for calling external scripts should also solve several issues
|
||||
on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What's new in version 2.0.0?
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||

||||
