- enable support for Georgian
- update file sizes
- re-introduce the dictionary download because it is necessary to step through several mirrors if necessary. This function was once added because as it is now, only one mirror is used, if it is dead the user won't get the dictionary
- update the mirror list
- at the moment some files were in Unicode, some in CP1252 which can make unnecessary troubles
- remove an obsolete file
- update InstallerStructure.odg
- 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
- update the file list in Makefile.am
- don't try to build it via CMake because this requires more than CMakeLists.txt. If it should nevertheless be built via CMake the .cmake files need to be rewritten from scratch
- remove unused and outdated files
- update an SVG file
- 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
since a few months MiKTeX's package manager required the option "--admin" when calling it with admin privileges
- also register the .lyx21 file extension for LyX 2.3
- also update the LyXRC version number
- fixed typos and updated translation
- support for Krita
- updated support for Gimp
- updated backup detection for TeXLive (generic detection always works independently)
- safeguard for a variable issue
- also remove support metafile2eps because:
- it is outdated
- unnecessary third-party program since ImageMagick can do this too
- needs unnecessarily installation time
texindy requires some more Perl and unfortunately the path tho the perl.exe in Windows' PATh environment variable.
The new EnvVarUpdate.nsh contains a function to modify Windows environment variables easily.
- 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
