The option --enable-qt5 allows configuring for Qt5. The default is Qt4.
Nothing special is done with respect to Qt4, apart from pulling in the
correct libraries. Indeed, other than the core and gui libraries, now
also the concurrent and widgets libraries are needed.
Forthcoming versions of cygwin will use a different mechanism for
obtaining passwd/group information based on /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Thus, it will not be guaranteed that the files /etc/passwd and
/etc/group even exist. The recommended way for obtaining those
info is by using the getent command, which already works in
current versions.
The configuration time suffers mostly on checking, which of the export tests
is to be reverted.
1.) There is a new configuration flag now, "LYX_ENABLE_EXOPRT_TESTS.
If not set (default) no export tests are created.
2.) If set, then the optimization halves the time needed for creation of tests.
The effect on my side:
a.) Until now the time was: ~ 26 seconds
b.) The optimized time is now: ~ 16 seconds
c.) With not enabled export tests: ~ 5 seconds
This is a follow-up of bug #8967. The implementation is self-explaining, the
only part which needs a comment is lyx2lyx: Since a 100% correct solution is
not possible, it has been decided not to switch amsmath off in the forward
conversion if no other ams command than \smash[t] and \smash[b] is used, but
to consider it a bug that older versions do not load amsmath automatically for
these commands. In the backward direction it is easy to keep the document
compilable, so just do that.
In collaboration with Scott Kostyshak:
With Qt 4 we could use Q_WS_X11, defined by FindQt4.cmake. In Qt 5,
there is no FindQt5.cmake. Instead we now define our own variable,
QT_USES_X11 by using class QX11Info available only on X11.
(http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/QX11Info.html)
The main consequence of this improved support is that now the keytests
can be run (ctest -R "keytest") when LyX is compiled with Qt 5.
Before, with Qt 5 we did not know if X11 was available, which is
needed by xvkbd, so the tests were not enabled. Note, however, that
many tests fail with Qt version 5.2.1 because there was a change in
the event handling mechanism in Qt that causes xvkbd to be unable to
pass capital letters (so case sensitive greps in the tests fail). This
needs to be investigated and reported.
The algorithm used for breaking a paragraph in LaTeX export is changed
for avoiding spurious blank lines causing too much vertical space.
This change is tied to the introduction of a new inset (with two
different specializations) helping in either outputing LaTeX paragraph
breaks or separating environments in LyX. Both of the above goals were
previously achieved by the ---Separator--- layout and can now be
accomplished by the new inset in a more natural way. As an example,
after leaving an environment by hitting the Return key for two times,
a third return automatically inserts a parbreak inset, which is
equivalent to the old separator layout, i.e., it also introduces a
blank line in the output. If this blank line is not wanted, the
parbreak separator can be changed to a plain separator by a right
click of the mouse. Of course, an environment can still be separated
by the following one by using the Alt+P+Return shortcut (or the
corresponding menu key), but now the plain separator inset is used
instead of the old separator layout, such that no blank line occurs in
the LaTeX output.
Old documents are converted such that the LaTeX output remains unchanged.
As a result of this conversion, the old separator layout is replaced by
the new parbreak inset, which may also appear in places where the old
algorithm was introducing blank lines while the new one is not.
Note that not all blank lines were actually affecting the LaTeX output,
because a blank line is simply ignored by the TeX engine when it occurs
in the so called "vertical mode" (e.g., after an alignment environment).
The old ---Separator--- layout is now gone and old layout files using it
are also automatically converted.
Round trip conversions between old and new format should leave a document
unchanged. This means that the new behavior about paragraph breaking is
not "carried back" to the old format. Indeed, this would need introducing
special LaTeX commands in ERT that would accumulate in roundtrip
conversions, horribly cluttering the document. So, when converting a
modified document to old formats, the LaTeX output may slightly differ in
vertical spacing if the document is processed by an old version of LyX.
In other words, forward compatibility is guaranteed, but not backwards.
This patch improves the cmake bundling process:
- reworked bundle handling for OS X: only when installing resources are copied, otherwise
only the smallest bundle is built
- on OS X, the utility programs (tex2lyx) are now installed in the right location
- it removes some unneeded BUNDLE DESTINATION
- it provides a basic support for QT plugins inclusion
- it properly builds a disk image on OS X (only the background image is missing)
- it fixes the library paths for all executables (not only LyX)
- Use the COPYING file for cmake install license
These started failing after we implemented tests for formats
that are in the complement set to the default format (7ecbb068).
It might be worth it in the future to take a look at each individually
and see whether they are supposed to fail or if there is something LyX
can do to add support for exporting them.
As discussed with Vincent I added 3 new features:
* LyX can now also be installed over an existing installation of the same LyX version if the users really wants this.
(A message box appears recommending not to do so for test releases and when there are problems with an existing installation of the same release.)
* LyX can now also be installed if the uninstaller executable of a former LyX was accidentally deleted.
(That this case was not handled was more a bug. Thanks Vicent for the pointer.)
* If a user set MiKTeX's automatic package installation to "No" the installer will.
(As discussed with Vincent, if a user has disabled this MiKTeX feature he most probably know the consequences. So respect his decision.)
respect that and not re-enable it.
I would be happy if anybody can spend a translation of the changed installer message.
- 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)
