LyX 2.0.x supports currently 147 LaTeX-packages. When LyX is first installed on a PC it took therefore about 10 minutes to install all supported and required packages. With the new installation method the installation speed only depends on the Internet speed and lasts with an average bandwidth now only 3.5 minutes.
(chkconfig.ltx asks LaTeX for each package separately and after each package installation the file name database of LaTeX was rebuild. And that cost a lot of time/CPU power)
To reproduce some bugs, tests need to open an existing LyX file. This
is now possible with CMake and is consistent with testing under
autotools in the sense that the .lyx file is referred to in the test
by being in the parent directory.
If the test is named bug-XXXX-in.txt and there exists a file
bug-XXXX.lyx, that file will be copied to the parent directory of
out-home in the build directory.
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
Some macros defined by wasysym.sty work only in text mode: They either
produce an error in math mode, or wrong output. These symbols are now marked
as text symbols, so that no \ensuremath is created for LaTeX export if they
appear inside \text{}, and the correct images are created.
development/tools/generate_symbols_images.py now checks for each symbol in
lib/symbols whether its image is listed in lib/Makefile.am and whether it has
a toolbar entry in lib/ui/stdtoolbars.inc.
- 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
The old layouts are still there (marked as deprecated). The new ones are more or less correctly reverted (polishment required), but the old ones not yet converted to the new. Once this is done, a further file format change should be made.
The fix is basically mechanical, the additional code for fraction like insets
with three arguments was stolen from \unitfrac. As any math package,
stackrel.sty needs a buffer parameter to switch it off.
I also added the two stackrel flavours to the toolbar.
The \frametitle command is less convenient to use than the \frame argument, but it provides more options (overlay/action and short title). We thus provide this additionally to the option, like beamer itself does.
This has a list-like structure (with \onslide item commands). The previous implementation was rather useless, since it required lots of ERT. Since the new implementation is so different, we use ERT for conersion/reversion.
The lyx2lyx routines are not yet perfect, though.
The stmaryrd package adds support for lots of math symbols, using a font
designed to accompany the computer modern fonts. The changes in detail:
- Fix generate_symbols_list.py to work with stmaryrd.sty. It loooks like it
was automatically translated from a perl version and never used.
- Generate the new symbols in lib/symbols using generate_symbols_list.py and
add some manual adjustments
- Generate stmary10.ttf by a simple ttf export from stmary10.sfd with fontforge
- Add license info for stmary10.ttf
- Create a test file with all symbols from stmaryrd.sty. Actually it would be
nice to have this for the other fonts as well.
- The mechanics: lyx2lyx, tex2lyx, font machinery etc.
This patch puts all projects into subfolders (at least for MSVS). In this
way, there is a better overview (especially if the number of test projects
will be increasing).
Many test are not running, but if changed the '-dbg xxx' to '-dbg any'
then all of sudden they pass ...
(The buffered output of lyx is often disrupted too early with 'kill -9',
so the expected data are not available for the appropriate test)
Now that we have module support for literate programming, it is possible to do a noweb cleanup. This is basically a patch from Kayvan Sylvan:
- get rid of literate-xxx classes
- rename Scrap to Chunk, since this is the name noweb doc uses (Scrap is from nuweb)
- update lyx file format and add lyx2lyx support for gettting rid of literate-xxx classes
- update documentation
On the top of it, update tex2lyx to
- avoid creating files with literate-xxx class
- fix conflict between parsing << as a quote and parsing it as a Chunk
- create Chunk layouts instead of Scrap ones.
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.
- to be able to support Adobe Reader/Acrobat XI I had to use new binaries for opening/closing PDFs. That way I found the solution for a long standing and super annoying PDF viewing bug (not 100% perfect but works for more than 95% of the cases, while formerly the view failed for all cases where LaTeX run more than once when updating a PDF view)
- 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
- rename the installer executables from LyX-205-x-Bundle.exe
- 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
