What's new in version 1.6.4?
----------------------------
** Updates:
***********
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- LaTeX import (tex2lyx) was updated and now also supports:
* nomenclature entries
* the LaTeX-package esint
* the alternative LaTeX document language names "portuguese" and
"brazilian"
- Implement separate chains for Japanese bibliography and index
compilation. This allows for proper support for jbibtex and mendex,
pLaTeX's bibtex and makeindex replacements (bug 5601).
- Lyx now recognizes dviout as DVI viewer (bug 6103).
* USER INTERFACE
- Support for chemical formulae via the LaTeX package mhchem. For a
description see LyX's Math manual.
- LyX's warning about different textclasses in master and child now has a
"Do not show this warning again!" checkbox. Checking it will disable the
warning for this specific master/child constellation over sessions
(bug 3218).
- Tooltips for toolbar buttons now show the main shortcut associated
to the action.
- Tooltips for footnotes and some other insets now wrap, so they can
actually be seen.
- New commands inset-begin/end (bound to Ctrl-Alt-Home/End) allow to jump
to begin/end of insets (and outside of the inset if the cursor is
already in place). There are also versions that select text.
- The LaTeX Log File dialog has a search facility.
- The notes context menu has a new item for toggling all notes.
- The math context menu has a new item for numbering a single line in a
formula.
- The math context menu has now a status flag indicating the type of
equation.
- Some context menu items haven been stylistically revised.
- The include inset context menu indicates the selected inclusion type.
- Add a graphical user interface for the SVN file locking property.
- Preferences about automatic popup and inline completion are now honoured
when pressing Ctrl-L in math mode.
- Make it possible to copy from a deleted section (bug 5390).
- The merge changes dialog has a new button for backwards navigation
(bug 2213).
- Copy as Reference is now also implemented for equation labels
(bug 5948).
- Visual support for the integral signs \fint and \fintop in formulas was
added.
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- New Slovakian translation of the Introduction manual.
- New French translation of the specific manual "How to write Braille
with LyX".
- Updated Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian,
Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian and
Spanish localizations of the user interface.
- Updated EmbeddedObjects manual: New section about subfloats.
- English Extended manual: Updated section about reverse DVI search.
- Updated English Additional Features manual.
- Updated Intro manual for all languages.
- Updated English, French, German, and Spanish Math manual.
- Updated German and Spanish User's Guide.
- Updated German and Japanese Tutorial.
* BUILD/INSTALLATION
- Added a shell script (lyxeditor) for performing reverse DVI/PDF search
and a python script (lyxpak.py) for creating archives of a lyx file and
all its ancillary files (graphics and so on) to development/tools.
- Take advantage of some bugfixes in Qt 4.5 for internal file handling.
- Added some cygwin-specific scripts and utility programs that are
compiled and installed when building on cygwin.
** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Prevent data loss when shutting down Windows (part of bug 5525).
- Fix conversion of documents from LyX 1.5 with multiple URL insets
(bug 6121).
- Fix conversion documents from LyX 1.4 which have multicolumn cells in
tabulars with expert border settings (bug 6018).
- Partially resolve bug 5702, "tex2lyx cannot deal with modules". We
now treat the "DefaultModule" tag as if it were an "Input" tag. This
is not a general solution, but does deal with one of the most serious
cases of the bug.
- Fix language settings after an environment (bug 5096).
- Fix layout conversion problem with AMS classes (bug 6140).
- Fix the output of spaces that are at the beginning of a block with
a new textcolor (bug 4473).
- Fix output of alignment if default aligment is not justified (bug 5995).
- Fix problem where updates in some child documents were not recognized
and no LaTeX update was performed (bug 6024).
- The default eLyXer configuration now handles images correctly on view
and export (requires eLyXer >= 0.27).
- Fix loading of UTF-8 encoded files when a byte order mark (BOM) is
present (bug 6030).
- Fix reverse DVI/PDF search with child documents (bug 6020).
- Assure that a longtable caption is in a first header even if the table
does not have one. This assures the caption is not repeated after a
page break and consequently in the list of tables (bug 6057).
- The file encoding is now properly restored after a LaTeX environment
or command with local scope (bug 5690).
- Enable the possibility to read documents from a path containing a
$-character (bug 4177).
- Enable document margin settings and hyperref settings in the
article (beamer) class.
- Fix bug involving incorrect requests to overwrite external files
(bug 5522).
- Fix occasional wrong occurrence of theorem style (bug 6036).
- Fix the on-screen representation of headings in the AMS article and
AMS book classes.
* USER INTERFACE
- Prevent a crash in Qt when scaling images on screen. This could occur
only for certain scaling factors and image sizes (bug 5957).
- Do not close hidden documents that have unsaved changes without asking
whether the changes should be saved (part of bug 5863).
- Fix bookmark navigation crash when multiple windows are used
(bug 6000).
- Disable the "sort" option in the outliner for the Table of Contents
which triggered a crash (bug 5983). Sorting the TOC didn't work anyway.
- Fix a crash when closing a LyX window with split views (bug 5998).
- Fix a crash when applying preference changes (bug 6064).
- Fix a crash when accessing the Navigate menu after an empty inset has
been dissolved (bug 6003).
- Fix a crash when performing instant preview on an uncodable character
(bug 6116).
- Fix a crash when navigating in a table with math insets (bug 6158).
- Fix a crash when closing LyX while a master and its child were open.
- Fix a crash when documents were hidden, the view was closed, and
the same documents were made visible in another view (bug 6162).
- Fix communication between lyxclient and server, which leads to a
crash once CTRL+D is used on the client side (bug 6106).
- Display the filename suffix in the tab header if it is non-standard
(e.g. ".lyx15"). This avoids a crash when loading two files with
identical names but different extensions (bug 5646), and disambiguates
such files in the user interface.
- Disable Symbols dialog for read-only documents. This prevents a
potential crash.
- Fall back to default UI file if the specified one cannot be found
(bug 6076).
- Fix assertion when a nested math hull appears in a math macro
(bug 5996).
- Fix assertion when pressing down arrow in the command buffer while
the history is empty (bug 6001).
- Fix assertion when selecting with Shift-button in math editor (bugs
5046 and 6026).
- Fix assertion when starting spellchecker in math mode and clicking
"replace" (bug 6013)
- Fix assertion in mathed when moving the cursor immediately after
pressing Ctrl-L (or '\' with inline completion disabled) in front of
another character (bug 6063).
- Prevent a window resize when applying the Preferences when the
LyX window is maximized (bug 6034).
- Fix the upward scrolling when selecting with the mouse (bug 4464).
- Make Tools>Statistics ignore Note insets and inactive branches
(bug 2566).
- Take into account file system case sensitivity when checking whether
a path starts with a given prefix. This fixes a bug with reverse PDF
search when using SumatraPDF as a PDF viewer on Cygwin.
- Fix the maximum number of the files stored in last-opened-files list
(bug 5980).
- Disable unused functions in the citation dialog (bug 5987).
- Fix display of BibTeX entries in the info field of the citation
dialog by only converting text mode latex macros to unicode glyphs.
- Convert LaTeX macros such as \"{u} to proper unicode characters
for the display of authors/editors on the citation inset button.
- Fix pop-up of ToC and Source code panels after fresh install (part
of bug 5082).
- Maintain session settings over version changes (also related to
bug 5082).
- Do not reset toolbar settings after a change of UI files that do not
concern toolbars.
- Fix math-insert lfun behaviour in the absence of a selection or when
something outside mathed is selected (bug 6033).
- Fix casing inconsistencies in the English user interface.
- Fix context menu for insets inside a branch inset (bug 6022).
- Fix command "tabular-feature align-(left|right|center)" which was
inadvertently disabled for a math matrix (bug 6041).
- Ensure that pasting into the preamble and the nomenclature dialog's
description widget resets the font formatting (bug 3936).
- Fix wrong labeling as "child only" branch if branches were unknown.
- Fix typesetting of chemical equations by adding support for the mhchem
package (bugs 6047, 4043, and 5394).
- Fix display of unknown math macros that become known after editing their
name. They are now correctly expanded and not left in red (bug 5923).
- Fix display of macros when clicking away (bug 3706).
- Fix the inconsistent behaviour of the cursor inside math (bug 2034).
- Fix the toggling of the outline-button on the toolbar when closing
the outliner with the 'x' (bug 3918).
- Fix the pasting of multiple cells in a table when a range is selected
(bug 4952).
- Do not open files during startup that were closed in the previous
session by Close View or Close Window (bug 5458).
- Remove empty paragraphs and superfluous spaces when leaving an inset
(bug 5435).
- Fix the scrolling problem that when scrolling with PgUp or PgDn, the
cursor could end up on a row that is only partly visible. This causes
the cursor to end up somewhere else when scrolling back (bug 5944).
- Fix selection of math insets on some archs.
- Fix of painter glitches caused by uninitialized variables (bug 6077).
- Fix uninitialized variable in Dialog code (bug 6081).
- Fix the enabling of the page height and width fields in the Document
Settings dialog.

focus on OS X (bug 1720).
- Add the emf an wmf graphics format as a parameter of LFUN_PASTE.
- Fix the enabling and disabling of some items in the longtable
section of the tabular dialog.
- Remove the black box around the work area that is visible with Qt 4.5.
- Fix middle-button pasting between different tabs (bug 6120).
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION

documentation files are converted to DVI (bug 5945).
- Fix encoding of the Hebrew documentation files to make them
compilable.
* BUILD/INSTALLATION

enabled in mode=debug.
- Added support for automake 1.11.
* WINDOWS INSTALLER

What's new in version 1.6.4?
-------------------------------
This is the fourth maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. This release
covers, amongst many minor improvements, fixes to some rather severe
issues, such as:
* A workaround to a nasty problem in recent Qt versions (Qt 4.5.0 up to
4.5.2) that made LyX crash if the document included images that were
scaled to certain sizes in the work area.
* Fixes to problems that might result in the loss of data.
* Many other stability improvements, thanks to a new debugging script that
helped to reveal uncovered critical bugs.
* Further fixes to the LaTeX importer (tex2lyx) and the conversion of
older LyX documents (lyx2lyx).
