This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 2.1.3.
All comments are welcome.
We try to group things by topic and in decreasing order of importance.
Please feel free to re-arrange if that seems like a good idea.
All of these fixes have already been checked into the 2.1.x branch of
LyX's git repository. The repository can be cloned via:
git clone git://git.lyx.org/lyx
For more details on how to use the repository, please visit:

A list of bugs fixed for this release can also be found at:

as well as a list of bugs still targeted to the 2.1.3 release.

** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Fix baseline calculation in last paragraph (bug 9231).
- Fix export of xfig external insets (bug 9244).

citation (bug 9296).

(bug 9266).

of documents using the class REVTeX 4.1 file (bug 4625).

This happens on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) where launchd(8) passes
such an environment to LyX when started from the dock (bug 9317).
- Fix crash on exporting a recursive math macro (bug 9140). Recursive macros
are invalid, so typesetting will still fail with "TeX capacity exceeded".

(bug 9320).

language switch.

layout (bug 2666).
