638020ab10 Revert "Change default working directory from ~/ to ".""
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.

For more information, see the discussion at:

This makes it easier to add new templates or change existing ones
in the user directory.

Fixes: #3983

The CMake changes should be double-checked.

16d5c49b38 Further amendment to 72a488d7
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)

72a488d7e6 Fix output of en- and em-dashes with TeX fonts
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.

892593fbdc Change default working directory from ~/ to "."
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.

60515b996b New LFUN lyx-activate to focus LyX window
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.

8d4236bd1d Fix python release notes
The old text was incorrect and came from the 2.0 release. LyX works fine if
the default python interpreter is python 3, as long as python 2 is available
as well.

Building LyX does also work with python 3, but since I did not check all
special build steps with both cmake and autotools, I kept a note about
possible problems.

0db513c4d6 Make case-changing lfuns operate on full words by default
This is for people who cannot grasp the superior conventions of emacs ;)

A new argument "partial" has been added to word-upcase, word-lowcase
and word-capitalize that restores the old emacs-like behavior.

The (x)emacs bindings are updated to use the "partial" argument, and
also to bind correctly M-u and M-l (M-c is unfortunately not
available).

Fixes bug #2826.
