This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.3.7
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

- Update lyx2lyx to handle properly the latest LyX 1.4 format (245).

- New hungarian translation. Update Spanish translation.

- Update German documentation.

** Bug fixes

* Document input/output:

- Don't load the wasysym package automatically anymore (bug 1942)

- Fix crash with S-Home while entering a macro name (bug 2046)

- Do not delete selection when entering an index entry.

- Fix LaTeX output when a bibtex inset is used in a child document.

- Support tex4ht for Tex -> MS Word conversion 

- Support the previewers kdvi, kpdf, and kghostview

* User Interface:

- Fix wrong path when drag-and-dropping files on Windows. [Qt only] 

- Fix interaction of LyX with external clipboard (e.g. Klipper) (bug 1976).

- Ensure that no dialogs have one shortcut assigned to more than one action.
  Always connect the OK button to the Alt-O shortcut. [Qt only]

- Ensure that the user cannot create a reference without first selecting
  one in the reference dialog. [Qt only].

- The Return key is no longer bound to the Goto button in the reference
  dialog. [Qt only].

- Double clicking in the reference dialog now inserts a reference
  (bug 2187) [Qt only].

- Searching backwards in the citation dialog always skipped one result
  (bug 2002). Fixed now.

- Do not trim spaces from either end of the find and replace strings in
  the Edit->Find & Replace... dialog. [XForms only].

- Fix crash when trying to display current directory and ${HOME} is empty.

- Don't force alignment to BLOCK when switching to fixed width cell (bug 1840).

- Add key bindings for "primary-selection-paste".

- Fix some math key sequences for sciword.bind.

- On exit, don't attempt to unlock a mutex in the Qt library --- it
  causes undefined behaviour and leads to a crash on NetBSD.

- Enable Instant Preview to work if the path to the external GhostScript
  executable contains spaces. (bug 2193).

- The error/warning/confirmation dialogs aren't hidden behind the main
  window anymore [Qt only] (bug 1977).

* Configuration/Installation:

- Enable TeXFiles.sh to run when its path contains spaces.

- Compile without STL compatibility support, since some systems do that
  by default (Slackware, for ex.). [Qt only]

- Fix compilation with gcc 2.95 under OSX 10.4. This is useful because
  LyX crashes on startup when compiled with gcc3.

- Fix compilation with Solaris/x86 (bug 992).

- Enable compilation of LyX on DragonFly BSD.

- Add missing cygwin support file in the distribution (bug 2035).

- Enable Windows boxes to recognize the hard-coded paths needed to run
  LyX from the build tree.
