This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 1.5.7, some
|
|
known problems in LyX 1.5.7 and some things you have to take into account
|
|
when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 1.5.x series.
|
|
Note that fixes are available for some of these, but they have not yet
|
|
been applied because of incomplete testing.

Known issues in version 1.5.7
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Unicode characters are generally not yet supported in mathed. If you insert
|
|
a special character to a math formula, the output of the document will
|
|
silently fail; on some systems, LyX might even crash. Support for unicode
|
|
in mathed has been introduced by our new major release, LyX 1.6.0.
|
|
|
|
- If you are using a local layout file (i.e., a *.layout file that resides in
|
|
the same directory as the document), and if you are saving the document to
|
|
another directory, the class information of the document get lost unless
|
|
you also copy the layout file to the new directory manually.
|
|
Cf. http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4812.
|
|
|
|
- If KDE 4.0 (the kdelibs4 package, for that matter) is installed, LyX might
|
|
crash when previewing an EPS graphic (or any other graphic that is converted
|
|
via EPS). This is a bug in the kdelibs package (the kimg_eps library, to be
|
|
precise) included in the KDE 4 pre-releases and in KDE 4.0. The problem has
|
|
been resolved for KDE 4.0.1. We encourage all affected KDE 4 users to upgrade
|
|
to KDE 4.0.1 (or newer).
|
|
|
|
If you have to stick with KDE 4.0 for some reason, there are two workarounds:
|
|
* uninstall kdelibs4 (or KDE4, for that matter) or
|
|
* disable graphics preview in Tools->Preferences->Graphics
|
|
Cf. http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4409
|
|
and
|
|
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156957
|
|
|
|
- Cursor restoration problems with Multiple-View:
|
|
When using multiple Windows to edit different parts of the same document,
|
|
the cursor position is sometimes not correctly restored when you switch
|
|
from one view to the other.
|
|
|
|
- RTL and keymaps:
|
|
Currently there is a bug where you can't use two non-RTL language keymaps if
|
|
the RTL preference is set (which is now the default). If you need to use two
|
|
non-RTL keymaps, for now you should just turn off the RTL preference (Tools ->
|
|
Preferences... -> Language settings -> Language, uncheck "Right-to-left
|
|
language support").
|
|
We hope to offer more comprehensive support for multiple keymaps in the future,
|
|
which will solve this bug, as well as allow more than just two keymaps. If you
|
|
have any input on this issue, please chime in on the developers mailing list,
|
|
or add your comments to http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4051.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interface changes as of version 1.5.4
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Due to a license conflict, the LaTeX-package "floatflt" that is used by LyX
|
|
for wrap figure floats has been removed from all major LaTeX-distributions.
|
|
Thus, we were forced to switch to the package "wrapfig". As consequence of this,
|
|
the look and positioning of wrap floats in your documents might slightly differ.
|
|
Please backup documents with wrap floats before upgrading and check the output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.5.x
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Due to the change to Unicode, there are some general things you'll have to take care
|
|
about when upgrading from an older version to LyX 1.5.0 or newer. Please refer to the
|
|
file UPGRADING for details.
