The upcoming Mac OS version 10.11 (El Capitan) will not allow TeX the installation of links inside the /usr directory anymore.

The GNU libstdc++ that ships witch gcc 5 can be used with the same ABI as
older versions, or with a new ABI which is conformant to the C++11 standard.
LyX did not build if the latter was used:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/1267/9651267/build.log
This is now fixed by detecting the ABI version and disabling the wrong forward
declarations. At the same time, STD_STRING_USES_COW is switched off for the
C++11 ABI version, because the std::basic_string implementation is now C++11
conformant. Since the GNU libstdc++ can also used by other compilers such as
clang, we must not test for the compiler version.
Recent versions of the cygwin X11 server come with a startup script
that explicitly uses '-nolisten tcp' for improved security. This means
that mentioning a host part in the DISPLAY variable precludes correct
operation. So, leave blank the host part such that only local connections
are attempted. Even if a user can override this setting in the own
~/.lyxprofile, novice users (and even experienced ones, at first) would be
probably confused by the "Error: Can't open display: localhost:0" message
and thus it is better to make this work out of the box.
The former solution with installing all babel packages at once via a list fails if only a single package of the list is already installed. In this case none of the packages in the installation list will be installed. Therefore every package will be installed separately.
(The bug is already reported to MiKTeX and this workaround can be removed for LyX 2.1.4.))
- Packages.txt: add all available babel packages and update to latest list of packages supported by LyX
- chkconfig.ltx: remove an entry that was added only for the Win-installer
Forthcoming versions of cygwin will use a different mechanism for
obtaining passwd/group information based on /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Thus, it will not be guaranteed that the files /etc/passwd and
/etc/group even exist. The recommended way for obtaining those
info is by using the getent command, which already works in
current versions.
- 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)
Define new policy of what export formats to check.
Depending on default_output_format
default or unset xhtml, dvi*, pdf*
xhtml xhtml
any of pfd variants xhtml, pdf*
any of dvi variants xhtml, dvi*
each other (like eps3) as specified
- 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
