This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.3.4
All comments are welcome.

You can find a list of bugs pending for 1.3.4 at URL
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&&target_milestone=1.3.4

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

- it is now possible to open documents which use a textclass for
  which no LaTeX support is installed. The documents can be normally
  edited, but they can of course not be previewed or printed. Note
  that the format of the file .lyx/textclasses.lst has changed as a
  consequence and it is therefore not possible to use LyX 1.3.4 and an
  earlier version with the same .lyx/ directory.

- add support for drag-n-drop opening of lyx files [Qt only]

- add support for intelligent scrolling with the mouse cursor [Qt only]

- improvements in LyX/Mac: support for opening files with LyX in
  finder, the LyX.app bundle can now be moved around and contains its
  own fonts (for math equations)

- add support for \boldsymbol in math editor

- add support for g-brief2 textclass

- allow optional arguments in Author, AuthorAdress and Thanks styles
  for the elsart layout.

- update the german translation of the User Guide

- update basque, danish, finnish, french, german, italian, nynorsk,
  romanian, spanish and slovenian interface localizations

- remove localization for the following languages, since they were too
  incomplete to be useful: bulgarian, catalan, czech, hebrew,
  hungarian, portuguese, swedish, turkish, walloon

- enable lyx to compile on Itanium machines.

- add autoconf 2.59 as an supported version.

  compilers) [Bug #1415]

- fix bug where some menu entries did not show the corresponding
  keyboard binding [bug #1350, Qt only]

  path [bug #1479]
