- 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
- 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
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
- 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)
- fix an uninstallation bug that user settings were not remove if requested
- whitespace fix

- get rid if GSview (this will not be bundled)
- get rid of now unnecessary setting of PDF file format settings via lyxrc.dist
- fix deletion of LyX's preferences folder when the user selected this option in the uninstaller
- some fixes for the standard installer (that doesn't have the JabRef installation section)

* updates for new dependencies packages
* use NSISdl plug-in for downloads

* remove old text in uninstaller
* remove language selection in installer (now integrated in LyX prefs)
* updates for MSVC 2010

* setting for compilation on Vista
* select random SourceForge mirror

* Add option to bundle required ImageMagick/Ghostscript files without the need to modify registry keys that belong to the original applications. This allows for full support for installation by limited users, gives different users the possibility to have a different setup of all LyX tools and reduces download size. The necessary files will be included in the dependency package.
* Python, ImageMagick and Ghostscript will now all be compiled using the same MSVC compiler and can use the same C runtimes. This reduces the installer size.
* Compile Python files during installation to improve performance. Limited users may not have access to the installation folders so the files cannot be compiled afterwards.
* Only the settings that typically need to be changed for LyX releases are now in settings.nsh.
* Rename launcher executable to LyXLauncher.exe to match the alternative installer.
* Minor fixes and cleanup.

* use nsDialogs instead of InstallOptions for custom wizard pages, faster & easier to customize
* upgrade to Modern UI 2
* use MultiUser.nsh to support multiple installation modes (all users / current user) in a much more simple way
* use LangFile.nsh for the language files, again less scripting required
* simplified installer structure
* more meaningful variable names
* more comments
* minor fixes
