-*- text -*- This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 2.0.1 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 into the BRANCH_2_0_X branch, which you can get with the command svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_2_0_X Richard [In this list, I try to group things by topic and in decreasing order of importance. This is, of course, subjective...] What's new ========== ** Updates: *********** * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT - Allow for a maximum of 3 minutes for the completion of a spawned command except on Windows, where 30 minutes are allowed. This is because the Windows installer may trigger MiKTeX updates that suffer from network latencies. - Improved XHTML output of various fractions. - A prefix for the TEXINPUTS environment variable can be specified in the preferences. The directory of a LyX document is represented by a single dot '.' or by the prefix "./". Also, any non-absolute path will be prepended with the LyX document directory. - Updated templates to current LyX format, so no conversion will be needed. - Allow LaTeX import of \uline (bug 7640). * USER INTERFACE - Updated Czech, French, German, Japanese, Interlingua, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Serbian (Latin), Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian User Interface Localization. - Now it is not necessary to restart LyX after changing the default document directory and/or the PATH prefix in the preferences for them to take effect. - View>Source for documents with XHTML default output format now displays only the current paragraph, except when complete source is requested (bug 7463). * DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION - Updated French documentation files. - updated template file for the latest version of the ACM siggraph LaTeX-package. - updated layout and template file for the latest version of the IJMPC LaTeX-package. - updated layout and template file for the latest version of the IJMPD LaTeX-package. * BUILD/INSTALLATION ** Bug fixes: ************* * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT - Fixed crash when outputing the unitone command to XHTML or when using such commands with mathematica, octave, or maple. - Fix output of non-TeX font names with non-ASCII characters and associated assertion (bug 7569). - Fix output of decimally aligned columns in unviewed (on screen) tables. - Fix problem with indentation of bibliography items. Note that older files may still exhibit this problem, since the label string "References" (or a translation of it) may have been written to the file. - Inform user of unknown layouts caused by class change (bug 7571). - Avoid LaTeX errors if font changing commands are used in the wrong mode by assuring to switch to the right mode on export. - Fix validation problem with user macros (bug 7525). - Improve import of LaTeX documents with non-ASCII contents before loading the inputenc package (bug 7509). - Macros that use other macros now output properly to XHTML (bug 7532). - Fixed XHTML output for tables that use multirow. - Fix problem with XHTML output of blank paragraph (bug 7634). - Fixed export to plaintext of, as well as searching within, a document containing aligned and other multi-cell environments (bug 7549). - Fixed the call to the svg converter on Windows (bug 7608). - On Windows, allow to automatically switch TeX engines without the need of manually saving the preferences after reconfiguring (bug 7557). - Fix dvi forward search on Windows when compiling with MSVC. - Calculate relative pathnames to master documents when master is in a directory above the child (bug 7540). - On Windows, improve detection of the TeX engine when the file system does not support short names and the temp directory contains spaces. - Fixed the latex flag set by the prefs2prefs script (bug 7610). - Fix LaTeX error with Sweave module when the file name contains a dot (bug 7551). - Fix error with Sweave module when using some R features (bug 7552). - Fix LaTeX error with Sweave module when the temporary directory name containsa space (bug 7545). - Fix LaTeX error with Sweave module when the directory where R has been installed contains a space. - Fix incompatibility between jss.layout and Sweave (see bug 7555). - Fix LaTeX export when the file encoding changes after a float (bug 7645). - Fix missing VCS revision information for RCS (author/date/time). * USER INTERFACE - Fixed crash relating to outliner and mouse movement. - Fixed crash when putting multirow tables into notes---or any other inset that appears in the outliner (bug 7547). - Fixed crash with inverse search when document has changed (bug 7572). - Fixed crash when scrolling away from empty paragraph (bug 7591). - Fixed problem with display of Buffer load errors (bug 7622). - Show the correct label after adding a line to an AMS Multline formula (bug 7511). - Equation numbering in child documents now works properly (bug 7531). - Display \utilde and \undertilde in formulas correctly (part of bug 6622). - Restore the functionality of the TeX Information dialog on Cygwin if a native Windows TeX engine is used. - Correct erroneous report of duplicate labels when dissolving insets (bug 7319). - Make size of characters in instant preview snippets independent of the LaTeX font size (bug 2200). - Fix On-the-fly spellchecker jumps to next pattern match when replacing a misspelled word with a suggested one from context menu (bug 7564). - Keep customized file formats in the export menu by default (bug 7609). - Add XeTeX/LuaTeX and derived formats to the Default Output list in the preferences dialog (bug 7543). - Fix paragraph style shortcut with open source view in German localization (bug 7590). - Do not cache cursor keys when scrolling (bug 7598) - Enable OK/Apply in Document>Settings dialog when bullet size is changed. - Display LyX's internal \unit equivalents in the math toolbar menu (bug 7620). - Fix problem that LyX complained about unkown flexible insets after changing the document settings (bug 7630). - Enable the autocorrection option for math. - Don't assert when accepting/rejecting non-existent changes (bug 7654). - Improve sorting for environment combo box of KOMA-script book class. * ADVANCED FIND AND REPLACE - Advanced F&R would previously ask to open a master document under some circumstances, or do strange things with \selectlanguage (bug 6560). This has been mostly fixed. Please see the bug report for remaining issues. - Fixed bug in matching at borders within *-environments with ignore-format off. (related to bug 7596) - Bugfix in how the search buffer was exported for the Advanced Find & Replace. For example, before this footnotes were not correctly found. - Now advanced find and replace doesn't ignore white spaces while matching with ignore format. - Now the cursor is visible while at the rightmost part of a regexp inset. - Now a regexp inset with a \backslash or braces is previewed correctly. - Disabled possibility to type macros in regexp-mode. - Now backslash-prefixed regexps like "\s", "\d", etc., are all understood by Advanced F&R. - Now Adv. F&R correctly interprets escape sequences within regexp insets, e.g., \\ or \(, for finding characters with a special meaning in regular expression context (\^()[]). * DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION - Re-add some lost translations from layout files. - fixed compilation of the French Customization manual. - fixed compilation of the Spanish Math manual. - fixed compilation of the Japanese EmbeddedObjects and UserGuide manuals. - fixed compilation of the amsbook-test example file. - fixed compilation of the landslide example file. - fixed compilation of the agutex template file. * BUILD/INSTALLATION - Using pkgconfig to configure hunspell (hunspell 1.3 was not correctly recognized).
