This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX
1.2.1.
All comments are welcome.

You can find a list of bugs pending for 1.2.1 at URL
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&&target_milestone=1.2.1

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_2_X, which you
can get with the command
  cvs checkout -d lyx-1_2_x -r BRANCH-1_2_X lyx-devel

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

** Updates

- it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0
  when this gets released) 

- new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog

- when the cursor is inside a collapsable inset, `Edit>Open/close
  float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should
  help entering of ERT insets)

- update finnish, danish, french and russian localizations

- update Tutorial to 1.2.x features

- better support for entering cyrillic and greek alphabets

  obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ...,

  extensions (instead of list of formats)
