Nix (https://nixos.org) is a Unix package manager, which can be used to
install LaTeX on macOS. A peculiarity of Nix is that all packages are
installed into separate directories and the actual directory tree is
then constructed via symlinks.
This interacts badly with the way LyX currently detects files in the
TeX setup, because TeXFiles.py does not follow symlinks. Therefore,
almost nothing is found when using LyX together with Nix’ LaTeX.
Patch from Michael Roitzsch.
At the time, there were two competing packages for French language:
frenchle (aka french.sty), the historical one, and frenchb.ldf, the
new kid on the block. I was difficult to know which one was loaded by
babel, and frenchle did not define \og and \fg. Thus the need for our
own definition.
These were the good old days, but this time is gone for good.
It is now possible to specify in the lib/language file whether screen
rows can be broken anywhere (CJK languages) or only at work boundary.
Set WordWrap to false for the CJK languages (notice that japanese-cjk
had been forgotten before).
Moreover, remove a test for separators in row element that was not
really helpful.
Fixes part of ticket #10299.
FWIW this code is important for very old versions of lyx, older than 1.1.5 (released 19 years ago - 2000/06/06).
Funny fact of the day, byte strings do not behave as regular strings in python3 when taking and index.
To get a sub-string we need to pass a range, a integer index will not work as it happens in a regular string:
$ ipython3
...
In [30]: line
Out[30]: b'#This file was created by <mike> Tue Jan 25 10:36:51 2000'
In [31]: line[0]
Out[31]: 35
In [32]: line[0:1]
Out[32]: b'#'
The range notations works for both byte and regular strings in python 3, and it also works in python 2.
Thus the change is simple and effective. In any case I should confess that I was quite surprised by this. :-)
In python it is possible to compare tuples with a lexicographic order.
Take advantage of that since there is no need to resort to the C-trick of converting a version in hex format.
We need to set a dummy version in case we are using ImageMagick to ensure that version is always an integer 3-tuple.
It worked in python2 but not the way the authors imagined. Because hex always returns a string.
From python2:
>>> 1 > "2"
False
>>> "2" > 1
True
>>> "1" > 2
True
The rational is that an integer is always smaller than a string.
In python 3 this because it does not make sense to compare objects of different types.

Tested cases are now handled fine.
(There are still many cases where the language support emulation
is too complex for lyx2lyx and manual fixes are required after
lyx2lyx conversion.)
Correct or activate some already present shortcuts, and add new ones
for easily obtaining the most common fixed size delimiters.
Pressing '*' after a delimiter will cycle through all sizes.
