Jürgen Spitzmüller 0e41df09b1 * RELEASE-NOTES:
- another description upgrade of bug 4409.
	  Obviously, it was a good idea to inform the KDE people of the bug :-)

This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 1.5.4, some
known problems in LyX 1.5.4 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 1.5.4
------------------------------------
- If KDE 4 (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. Until KDE 4.0.1 is available, there are two
(rather inconvenient) 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
We encourage all KDE 4 users to upgrade to KDE 4.0.1 (or newer) as soon as
possible.
- 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.
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.
