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.
This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of the then-new right-to-left
languages support. Let's be bold and get rid of it altogether!
Now right to left support is always enabled.
The display of partially-selected word is now done in a new Painter::text method
which displays the string twice with different clip settings. This allows to
catter for the case where Color_selectiontext is not black.
Morover, the code that uses unicode override characters to force the
direction of a string is moved to lstrings.h.
Fixes: #9116
The old implementation of Row::Element::pos2x and x2pos did not work
correctly with Arabic text, because characters can have shapes that
depend on context.
This new implementation leverages QTextLayout in a simplified way,
since only one word is added to the layout.
This allows to make Row::Element::x2pos more readable.
Fixes: #9115.
Using a static variable here was premature optimization: fileNames() is only
called from GuiRef (directly or indirectly), and since this is a dialog the
copying of a FileNameList is not noticeable at all.
FileName::tempName() created a new temp file name by using qt to create a
temporary file with a unique name, and then deleting that file and returning
the name. This was unsafe, since other processes or even other threads of the
running LyX could create files with the same name between deletion and then
using the temp name.
This is fixed by using the TempFile class instead. As a side effect, a few
cases where the temp files were not deleted after usage were fixed as well.
The only place that is still unsafe is createTmpDir().
Thanks to maciejr we know now what the remaining problem was with bug 7954:
My unicode symbol fallback works fine, the problem was that a font named
"Symbol" is available on OS X, but it does not use the font-specific encoding
we expect: Almost all glyphs are at their unicode code point.
Therefore the bug is fixed by re-enabling the unicode workaround and blocking
the Symbol font on OS X.
Maximizing the document settings window when on the modules pane,
the horizontal space is now given to the module names and so no
scrollbar is needed. Before, even when maximized, a scrollbar was
sometimes needed because the horizontal space was given to the
buttons in the middle, which did not provide an extra benefit.
The default sizeType was "Expanding" and is now changed to "Minimum"
for the horizontal spacer above the middle buttons.
The firs tinvolves a thinko in BibTeXInfo::expandFormat. We were previously
counting passes through this routine, which means: one for every character,
more or less. So long strings would hit the "recursion limit". But what
we are worried about is an infinite loop caused by misues of macros, so that
is what we need to count.
This prevents the error we were previously getting, but it reveals a huge
slowdown when one tries to open a citation inset with a large nubmer of keys.
So we also limit the number of keys we try to process, and the length of the
string we try to display, when we are generating citation information.
I'm convinced that there is a deeper problem in how citation information is
generated (see the bug tracker for more info), but that will require major
surgery and a file format change
addPath() always adds a slash at the end, os got a double one before.
Qt and the OS are clever enough to understand that, but a single slash
looks more nice.
This has the advantage of simplifying our code and to produce the
correct output: the small capitals should have the exact same width as
the lower case letters.
The slanted fonts are also translated to oblique on Qt side, but this
does not seems to have an effect in my testing. It may be that proper
oblique fonts need to be installed.

Many of these definitely are vulnerable to concurrent access, such
as the static variables declared at the start of output_latex.cpp.
Suppose, e.g., we were outputting latex and also displaying the
source of a different document.
I'd appreciate it if others could grep for "FIXME THREAD" and see
if some of these are harmless, or what.
It is confusing for the users to see the formats 1.3--1.6 in the file-open
dialog and not the 2.0 format. The exotic extensions were only used when
e.g., LyX 1.6.x exported to LyX 1.5.x format.
try to show dialogs or ask for user input while doing advanced find
and replace. In many of these cases we should simply find a way for
avoiding lyx to show a dialog, however an extra info/warning dialog
is better than the GUI freezing and having to kill the process.
This extends the already existing math symbol fallback mechanism in two ways:
1) When considering the availability of the math font, also take broken
code points into account. These are currently 0x0009 and 0x00ad, depending
on the platform.
2) If the fallback symbol in the standard "Symbol" font is not given, or if
the "Symbol" font is not available, or the fallback symbol is one of the
broken ones, try to use a generic unicode symbol as second fallback instead.
If this is available, we rely on Qt to find a font which has it. Only if
this is not available, display the symbol as ERT.
This ensures that we do never get a symbol which is not displayed: Either
it can be displayed, with or without fallback, or it will be shown as ERT.

See https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34132
* [QTBUG-34132] QFileDialog does no longer instantiate widgets if a
native dialog will be used instead. Therefore some accessors
which previously returned unused objects will now return null.
As before, you can set the DontUseNativeDialog option to ensure
that widgets will be created and used instead.
Seemingly, Qt uses native dialogs by default starting from version 5.2.0.
When trying to open a file dialog, LyX segfaults in release mode, whereas
Qt asserts in debug mode:
ASSERT failure in QList<T>::at: "index out of range",
file /usr/local/qt/5.2.0/include/QtCore/qlist.h, line 472
This is avoided by explicitly setting the DontUseNativeDialog option
in the code path selected by *not* setting USE_NATIVE_FILEDIALOG.
This option was introduced in Qt 4.5, which is the minimum required
for compiling LyX. So, it is not protected by a preprocessor macro.
LFUN_BUFFER_SAVE_AS has an optional argument where an initial format can be preset
This fixes:
* The remainder of bug #3402: Open Export As dialog when attempting to export to read-only directories
* Bug #8886: 'export as' should default to the default document output format
It is always a bad idea to compare a localized string. I think the whole method Formats::getFormatFromPrettyName (which is now unused) should be ditched. This is bound to fail.
In [19024f72\lyxgit] this line was removed. Later this caused that floats were converted to strings using ','s instead of '.'s. Readding this line fixes this.
Get the default language by a mix of QLocale and LyXRC::gui_language
Known limitations:
* encoding is supposed to be UTF-8 (the charset parameter is checked);
* context is not handled (implemented differently in LyX);
* plural forms not implemented (not used for now in LyX);.
* tThe byte endianness of the machine on which the .mo file have been
built is expected to be the same as the one of the machine where this
code is run.

Patch and description from Bennett Helm
- InsetBox.cpp:
a framebox without inner box and without a width is \fbox
a framebox with inner box is also \fbox
a framebox without inner box and with width is \framebox
- GuiBox.cpp: the width checkbox must be checked if there is width
- this was forgotten to commit;
(without this we would get invalid LaTeX code when changing in the box dialog a makebox without a width to a minipage and press apply - a makebox required to specify a width, at least an invisible one like "0cm")
* InsetBox and GuiBox: Use proper empty length instead of the broken -9.99col% trick
* some slight changes to the logic of GuiBox to make sure that values are set as needed.
* lengthToWidget(): handle properly the empty length case. All the other related Qt helpers did it already, it was probably an oversight. Also set the default_unit parameter as optional (not needed in this patch actually, but I got carried away :)
* allow generating LaTeX code for an empty length, since some broken code does that.
If there is a new toolbar, it will not be restored by Qt and we need to
initialize it ourselves. However, it is not so easy to find out which
toolbars are restored by Qt and which are not. For this, the setVisible
function of GuiToolbar is 'misused'. If the visibility is set, the toolbar
must have been restored by Qt and we should leave it alone.
LyX uses QTemporaryFile to create a unique temporary directory. This
temporary directory will consist of two random characters and the process
identifier (PID).
Currently, the two random characters are often the same because Qt's
random generator was not seeded. If there are a lot of lyx temporary
directories accumulated, the chance of failing to find a unique temporary
directory is (N/100)%.
The temporary directories can be left behind if either LyX crashes, or
when a file in the temporary directory is opened in another viewer when
LyX closes. This can be a pdf that is viewed in a reader that disallows
the file to be removed while viewing it.
The default citation capability of LaTeX is not a true numerical
citation engine, rather it uses a mixture of labels/numbers. Thus
we now distinguish them: "numerical" always increments the bibitem
counter and uses its value as a numerical citation label, while
"default" only uses the bibitem counter when no label is provided.
LyX file format incremented to 471.
These should be used if any new style needs to be introduced in the stable
2.1 series: If the ForceLocal flag of the style is set, it will always be
written to the document header, so that even older 2.1 versions can read
and correctly output the document.
Reason for this 'cleanup' is the strange "optional = false" lines at the
end of the "case md_item" and "case md_subitem". Then, it is nicer to
directly use the value of the switch to be the running variable and to use
this to determine whether an item is optional and whether we should quit.
The panels in GuiDocument and GuiPrefs are stored in a map. The keys are
the translated descriptions of these panels. Whenever someone changes the
gui language and reopens the Document Settings pane, LyX asserted because
it could not find the "Child Documents" pane.
