This code has issues and there is no evidence that it improves performance.
Remove LyXRC variable \use_pixmap_cache and update rc format to 29.
Now the global pixmap cache is only used by GuiCompleter. Therefore
there is no need to reset it when fonts change.
Following a request by Günter, we consider the document fonts (only rm
for now) when selecting an appropriate font encoding.
See #9741
The new default font encoding setting "auto" does
* consider the font encoding needed by the language(s), which can now
have fallback alternatives
* Consider which font encoding is provided by the document font
Thus, cm now will result in OT1 fontenc, if the language can deal with
that.
The font_enc pref is ditched: it is no longer needed.
The automatism is still very basic and is subject to extension.
File format and prefs format change.
Setting the default working directory to '.' is an invasive change
on Mac and Windows, where the current working directory of LyX when
LyX is started from the GUI is not a reasonable choice for the
default directory in e.g. the "save as" file dialog or the "open"
dialog. A similar situation could happen on Linux distributions (I'm
not aware of any, e.g., POSIX standard that defines that the working
directory of a binary started from GUI should be the home
directory). Thus, it is not clear this default is good on any
platform.
If the user wishes to have the behavior of '.', the description in
the "paths" preferences pane provides the information for making the
change.

This reverts commit 892593fbdc.
Rephrase positively the check box for the output of en- and em-dashes
and disable it when using non-TeX fonts. The state of the check box
is remembered, so that toggling the non-TeX fonts check box does not
cause information loss.
- Mention the new buffer parameter in development/FORMAT
- Assure that lyx2lyx generates the same output obtained when saving
a converted document from within lyx
- Don't require any action when converting a document created with
lyx 2.2 in order to assure unchanged output (thanks José for the hint)
This commit fixes the regression introduced in 2.2 about the
output of en- and em-dashes. In 2.2 en- and em-dashes are output as
the \textendash and \textemdash macros when using TeX fonts, causing
changed output in old documents and also bugs (for example, #10490).
Now documents produced with older versions work again as intended,
while documents produced with 2.2 can be made to produce the exact
same output by simply checking "Don't use ligatures for en-and
em-dashes" in Document->Settings->Fonts.
When exporting documents using TeX fonts to earlier versions, in order
to avoid changed output, a zero-width space character is inserted after
each en/em-dash if dash ligatures are allowed. These characters are
removed when reloading documents with 2.3, so that they don't accumulate.
Note that the lyxrc.document_path variable corresponds to what we
call the "Working directory" in the GUI preferences dialog.
Setting document_path to "." makes it so when LyX is started from a
directory, that directory is the default path for many of LyX's
operations, such as the following:
- new file, new from template
- adding a custom BibTeX file
- GUI compare dialog
- local layout button in document settings
- external material file browser
- graphics browser, include browser
The best guess for where the user wants to save or find files is the
directory the user started LyX from. Before, the default was always
the home directory. If desired, the old behavior can be restored by
changing the default path in Preferences > "Working directory".
This commit takes advantage of 9b64d7bd, which allows the use of a
relative path for path preferences.
On Linux and Mac OS, this action brings the LyX window into focus.
Such behavior is not allowed by Windows OS so instead the color of
the taskbar entry is changed to indicate that the window has changed
in some way.
The action is hidden in the shortcuts menu because it would make
sense to assign a shortcut to it. The only way to execute shortcut
would be if the LyX window is already activated.
lyx-activate will be used (see next commit) to allow the PDF viewer
to switch to LyX after executing a reverse search.
