- 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)
- it turned out that the hack to install a stripped-down Perl directly to MiKTEX is not only error-prone, requires admin permission but that it is also not safe because MiKTeX changes the folder structure from time to time. With the new solution Perl is installed directly for LyX like we do for ImageMagick, Python etc.
- for pdfcrop support there is a bug in pdfcriop that the requirement is hardcoded to Ghostscript 32bit - I contacted the pdfcrop author to fix this
- the installer does nw the job of replacing the magyar.ldf with the fixed version [http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Hungarian]
- install the Mongolian hyphenation pattern to MiKTeX
- update eLyXer
- the installer will now recognize an already installed 64bit MiKTeX
- the installer will still install 32bit MiKTeX for new installations because biblatex does not yet work with 64bit MiKTeX
LaTeX.nsh:
- fix a MiKTeX configuration Problem on 64bit Windows issue discovered in #8417
- don't overwrite MiKTeX's package repository the user might have set purposely
- remove some unused code and simplify some code
- update to JabRef 2.9.2
- LaTeX.nsh: fixe http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
- settings.nsh: adapt path so that one needs to adapt less when using the installer source zip file
- add a readme how to build the installer
- LaTeX.nsh: assure that if MiKTeX is installed for all users also the missing packages will be installed during the configuration for all users
- configure.nsh: run configure.py twice to assure that really all missing packages are checked/installed
- LaTeX.nsh: fix bug that installer stopped working if LyX was installed the first time on a computer
- init.nsh:
- fix failing installation of Slovakian spellcheck dictionary
- expand list of available dictionaries as requested by users
- dictionaries.nsh: prevent case that the installer could run an infinite loop if the installation of dictionaries was interrupted
- settings.nsh: use a HTTP repository for MiKTeX instead of FTP because many companies deny FTP access by default in their firewalls
This is already done by the program pdfview every time it is called. This additionally fixes the bug that viewing PDF files could fail if Acrobat was not the default PDF viewer of the system while LyX was installed, but became later the default PDF viewer.
- avoid doubled semicolon in LaTeX editor path list
- correct path to the JabRef installation folder in LyX's PATH
- updated to JabRef 2.8.1

- fix uninstallation of Metafile2EPS pinter
- fix un/installation of JabRef if the bundle version is executed without admin privileges
- some whitespace fixes
- dictionaries.nsh: code documentation and simplification
- lyx.nsi: comment out currently unused code
- init.nsh: some corrections and fix bug that info that JabRef and MiKTeX were installed together with LyX was deleted before the uninstaller was really run
- LaTeX.nsh: documentation and fix a bug (for an unknown reason SHCTX can be used to read and delte but not to write in the registry)
- gui.nsh: enable descriptions
- detection: move dictionary code to dictionaries
- detection.nsh:
- fixed detection of the LaTeX source file editors
- removed support for obsolete LaTeX source file editors
- init.nsh:
- don't allow to install an older LyX version over a newer one
- support dictionaries for new languages that will be supported by LyX 2.1
- remove registry entries of current LyX version when installing a newer version over it
- remove the error-prone method of finding dictionaries by renaming some
- add new dictionaries for future LyX 2.1 (more to come)
- update and correct some dictionary sizes
- fix detection of the possible 64bit programs jedit, Gimp, GhostScript and GSview
- remove detection of old Vim version
It is possible to install a newer lyX over an existing older LyX installation, but we cannot allow to install over the same lyX version. Therefore output the version number if this error message is shown
- settings.nsh: update to LyX 2.0.5
- thesaurus.nsh:
- don't download already existing dictionaries when installing over an existing LyX installation
- the list of available dictionaries is 120
- detection:
- detect existing dictionaries
- fix detection of Gimp and Photoshop
- init.nsh: detect existing dictionaries and modify the list of available dictionaries accordingly in the installer sections
- the proposed install folder is now "LyX 2.0" as discussed
- promote our wiki and also our website (as almost all other programs do as well and which is quite helpful)
- thanks to the new version of ImageMagick no longer admin permissions are required
- init.nsh: iron out 2 non-admin residues
- language files: add missing entries and remove some unused ones
- fix an uninstallation bug that user settings were not remove if requested
- whitespace fix
