- 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
- update to new MiKTeX installer that fixes a bug with updating Packages
- don't ship cbgreek because it is so huge that its download would last 10 minutes or more
- 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
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)
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.
- 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
