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 support for icelandic, latvian and lithuanian

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

- 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.

** Bug fixes

* LaTeX input/output:

- partly fix handling of included files; external insets are still not
  working correctly [bug #605]

  arabic [bug #1404]

  special characters [bug #1526]

  textclasses [bug #1430]

  package.

  reason, provide a sensible list of textclasses

  to be the Ok button rather than the Close button. [bug #1465, Qt only]

- enable instant preview to work on solaris machines.

- fix an annoying "could not delete temp dir" warning

  variables MOC and UIC if they are set
