Since lyX 2.0 we support to use the in_preamble tag. This allows to support more commands. For an unknown reason I forgot the jss.layout when I updated the other layouts once.
Fileformat change
A new preference is introduced for allowing the record of the document
directory path in the saved file. Without explicit consent, it is not saved.
If the origin tag contains an invalid/wrong path or garbage, LyX behaves
exactly as before, i.e., included files are simply not found.
Create new helper class UndoGroupHelper, which simplifies a lot the
handling of undo groups in cases like this one. The class tracks open
undo buffers and allows to switch buffers transparently.
Using the class for advanced search and replace is trivial. THe class
may be useful in some other classes.
Fixes ticket #8658
according to the powerdot manual it uses the standard floats and indeed, the float deinitions were identic to the ones in stdfloats.inc
- powerdot-example.lyx: add a slide with floats (floats are only possible with the H placement option. (assuring this will be possible with the fix for bug#7752)
This reverts commit bede4d320b.
As JMarc notes [1], if we replaced show with toggle, we would lose some
functionality:
There is one use that is not possible with this change (as I argued
before), which is a fully keyboard-based navigation.
With LyX 2.1, I can do C-M-o and navigate with cursor in the
outline. I can do the same with advanced S&R. IN this sense,
toggling is a step back IMO.
The plan now is to find another way to close the dialog (without
using toggle), such as having ESC close it or another key bind.
Ticket #8388 will stay closed because 'show' and 'toggle' are too
close for the cost of having two separate bindings.

Add a new tag HasGuiSupport to language file. Add it for all l10ns
that we currently ship. The po files that are unused are not currently
tagged as available, but this could be done, since the code later
checks that the translation is actually there.
This new information is used in GuiPrefs when populating the language
combox.
The new scheme implies that adding a new language is now a two-step
process:
* the language code has to be added to po/LINGUAS, as before;
* one of the entries of the lib/language file has to be selected as
reference and be given the "HasGuiSupport true" property.
This leads to better compatibility with e.g. arXiv.
As Jürgen notes, it is also possible to override this automatic
empty pdfborderstyle via the Additional Options.
Patch by Julien Rioux.
Since Kornel's commit at e2d41970, it is now possible to update the
tex2lyx tests with CMake. Note that this is a case where a make
target in the build directory can affect the source directory, which
might not be advisable.
The general problem is that Acrobat opens PDF files with write access so that PDF files cannot be modified externally by LyX/LaTeX.
The old pdfview used the programs pdfopen and pdfclose to open and close PDF files in Acrobat and it additionally closed and opened the PDF whenever it was changed (to simulate LyX's update button).
Since Acrobat DC (aka Acrobat 15) it is no longer possible to close PDF files in Acrobat. Due to changes in the Acrobat API also the pdfopen program can no longer be used.
Besides this the approach of updating the PDF whenever it changed was always a hack that often killed Acrobat. The reason is that one cannot immediately update the PDF view if the PDF is changed because depending on the size LaTeX needs up to several seconds to generate the PDF. If the PDF is opened while TeX is still creating is one get error messages from Acrobat Acrobat must be restarted - very annoying. During the years I experimented with a wait time to minimize these problems but of course it can never be solved.
The new pdfview version uses a completely different approach:
- it checks if the PDF is opened by Acrobat by reading the window name. If it is found this program windows will be closed. So Acrobat is not ended and other opened PDF files stay opened.
- to update the PDF view from within LyX one has to press the view button, not the update button. Only this way we know that TeX is ready and the PDF can be opened by Acrobat with write permissions.
