This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.3.5
All comments are welcome.

I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
these fixes have been checked in the branch BRANCH_1_3_X, which you
can get with the command
  cvs checkout -d lyx-1_3_x -r BRANCH_1_3_X lyx-devel

What's new
==========

** Updates

- new textclass svglobal, needed for various Springer Verlag journals
  for which no specific class exists

- add new bindings file mac.bind for LyX/Mac

- the script used to control the generation of bitmap images for use
  in 'Instant Preview' of math equations has been re-written in python.
  Windows users now have some chance of getting Instant Preview to
  work for them.

- The built-in Qt dialogs are now correctly translated for the
  languages that Qt supports [Qt >= 3.2 only]

- add support for icelandic, latvian, lithuanian and nynorsk

- updated basque, danish, german, italian and romanian localizations; 
  updated basque and german documentations

** Bug fixes

  working correctly [bug #605]

  arabic [bug #1404]

- fix missing line break in front of \end{...} in some cases [bug #1225]

  special characters [bug #1526]

- prevent clashes with LaTeX packages defining "\boldsymbol" [bug #1498]

- fix handling of floats and counters in  svjog and svprobth

  package.

* User Interface:

- fix toggling of short title inset in some cases

- when the autodetection of latex classes cannot be done for some
  reason, provide a sensible list of textclasses

- honor correctly the various locale-related environment variables when 
  looking for translated help files

- prevent activation of the Ok and Apply buttons in the reference
  dialog when simply manipulating the list of references in the dialog.

- set the default button in the print dialog, activated on Return, 
  to be the Ok button rather than the Close button. [bug #1465, Qt only]

- enable instant preview to work on solaris machines.
