- use https in URLs
- remove unused code
- use variables if possible
- LyX 2.3.x won't support Windows Vista because Qt 5.9 does not and other third-party programs will follow soon
- also remove Qt5XML in the installer as it appears not to be used by LyX
- update to latest MikTeX installer which resolves some problems
- add a note that pdfview is not yet ready for full Unicode support
- the long awaited MiKTeX installer is available, this fixes many installation errors in LyX is installed for the first time (I will provide a new installer build as soon as I find more time)
- the installer now re-synchronize MiKTeX's package database before installing or updating LaTeX-packages. This assures that new packages and renamed packages can automatically be installed when they are missing (fixes bug #9370)
- update the list of LaTeX packages that have to be installed when LyX is installed via the bundle installer for the first time on a PC
- add support for Turkish spell-checking
- known problem: if LyX 2.0.x is installed and you install 2.1rc1, the .lyx file associations will not be updated but if LyX 2.1 is installed on a new PC the file associations work (work is in progress)
- update to new MiKTeX installer that fixes a bug with updating Packages
- don't ship cbgreek because it is so huge that its download would last 10 minutes or more
- the installer will now recognize an already installed 64bit MiKTeX
- the installer will still install 32bit MiKTeX for new installations because biblatex does not yet work with 64bit MiKTeX
LaTeX.nsh:
- fix a MiKTeX configuration Problem on 64bit Windows issue discovered in #8417
- don't overwrite MiKTeX's package repository the user might have set purposely
- remove some unused code and simplify some code
- update to JabRef 2.9.2
- LaTeX.nsh: fixe http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
- settings.nsh: adapt path so that one needs to adapt less when using the installer source zip file
- add a readme how to build the installer
- LaTeX.nsh: fix bug that installer stopped working if LyX was installed the first time on a computer
- init.nsh:
- fix failing installation of Slovakian spellcheck dictionary
- expand list of available dictionaries as requested by users
- dictionaries.nsh: prevent case that the installer could run an infinite loop if the installation of dictionaries was interrupted
- settings.nsh: use a HTTP repository for MiKTeX instead of FTP because many companies deny FTP access by default in their firewalls
