Public release of LyX version 1.6.4.1
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.4.1. This is a small
|
|
update to LyX 1.6.4, which was the fourth maintenance release in the 1.6.x
|
|
series.
|
|
|
|
The only change over release 1.6.4 is the fix of a regression on the Mac,
|
|
which made some dialogs (such as Preferences and About LyX) unaccessible
|
|
via the menu. Other platforms than the Mac were not affected by the issue.
|
|
|
|
A detailed list of changes in 1.6.4 and 1.6.4.1 is appended below,
|
|
remaining known problems are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.
|
|
|
|
All Mac users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. For users of
|
|
other platforms, there's no reason to upgrade from LyX 1.6.4.
|
|
|
|
In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
|
|
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
|
|
|
|
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
|
|
based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
|
|
is released under a Free Software/Open Source license.
|
|
|
|
LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
|
|
right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
|
|
details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with
|
|
page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's
|
|
legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
|
|
|
|
On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output --
|
|
or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks
|
|
like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs,
|
|
all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
|
|
different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes
|
|
'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press.
|
|
|
|
LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
|
|
internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the
|
|
Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
|
|
|
|
You can download LyX 1.6.4.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.4.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.4.1.tar.bz2
|

|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.6.4.1.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will
|
|
also host the .bz2 versions):
|
|
|
|

|
|
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org),
|
|
or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/
|
|
|
|
If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a
|
|
question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find
|
|
the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org).

What's new in version 1.6.4.1?
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
** Bug fixes:
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
* USER INTERFACE
|
|
|
|
- Revert an erroneous bugfix that was introduced with LyX 1.6.4:
|
|
"Disable some menu entries when the document windows does not have
|
|
focus on OS X (bug 1720)."
|
|
This re-enables the access to the Preferences and About LyX dialogs on
|
|
the Mac menu (other platforms were not affected).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.4?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
** Updates:
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|

|
|
* the alternative LaTeX document language names "portuguese" and
|
|
"brazilian"
|
|
|
|
- Implement separate chains for Japanese bibliography and index
|
|
compilation. This allows for proper support for jbibtex and mendex,
|
|
pLaTeX's bibtex and makeindex replacements (bug 5601).
|
|
|
|
- Lyx now recognizes dviout as DVI viewer (bug 6103).
|
|
|
|
|
|
* USER INTERFACE
|
|
|
|
- Support for chemical formulae via the LaTeX package mhchem. For a
|
|
description see LyX's Math manual.
|
|
|
|
- LyX's warning about different textclasses in master and child now has a
|
|
"Do not show this warning again!" checkbox. Checking it will disable the
|
|
warning for this specific master/child constellation over sessions
|
|
(bug 3218).
|
|
|
|
- Tooltips for toolbar buttons now show the main shortcut associated
|
|
to the action.
|
|
|
|
- Tooltips for footnotes and some other insets now wrap, so they can
|
|
actually be seen.
|
|
|
|
- New commands inset-begin/end (bound to Ctrl-Alt-Home/End) allow to jump
|
|
to begin/end of insets (and outside of the inset if the cursor is
|
|
already in place). There are also versions that select text.
|
|
|
|
- The LaTeX Log File dialog has a search facility.
|
|
|
|
- The notes context menu has a new item for toggling all notes.
|
|
|
|

|
|
formula.
|
|
|
|
- The math context menu has now a status flag indicating the type of
|
|
equation.
|
|
|
|
- Some context menu items haven been stylistically revised.
|
|
|
|
- The include inset context menu indicates the selected inclusion type.
|
|
|
|
- Add a graphical user interface for the SVN file locking property.
|
|
|
|
- Preferences about automatic popup and inline completion are now honoured
|
|
when pressing Ctrl-L in math mode.
|
|
|
|
- Make it possible to copy from a deleted section (bug 5390).
|
|
|
|
- The merge changes dialog has a new button for backwards navigation
|
|
(bug 2213).
|
|
|
|
- Copy as Reference is now also implemented for equation labels
|
|
(bug 5948).
|
|
|
|
- Visual support for the integral signs \fint and \fintop in formulas was
|
|
added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
|
|
|
|
- New Slovakian translation of the Introduction manual.
|
|
|
|
- New French translation of the specific manual "How to write Braille
|
|
with LyX".
|
|
|
|
- Updated Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian,
|
|
Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian and
|
|
Spanish localizations of the user interface.

|
|
|
|
* BUILD/INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
- Added a shell script (lyxeditor) for performing reverse DVI/PDF search
|
|
and a python script (lyxpak.py) for creating archives of a lyx file and
|
|
all its ancillary files (graphics and so on) to development/tools.
|
|
|
|
- Take advantage of some bugfixes in Qt 4.5 for internal file handling.
|
|
|
|
- Added some cygwin-specific scripts and utility programs that are
|
|
compiled and installed when building on cygwin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Bug fixes:
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
|
|
|
|
- Prevent data loss when shutting down Windows (part of bug 5525).
|
|
|
|
- Fix conversion of documents from LyX 1.5 with multiple URL insets
|
|
(bug 6121).
|
|
|
|
- Fix conversion documents from LyX 1.4 which have multicolumn cells in
|
|
tabulars with expert border settings (bug 6018).
|
|
|
|
- Partially resolve bug 5702, "tex2lyx cannot deal with modules". We
|
|
now treat the "DefaultModule" tag as if it were an "Input" tag. This
|
|
is not a general solution, but does deal with one of the most serious
|
|
cases of the bug.
|
|
|
|
- Fix language settings after an environment (bug 5096).
|
|
|
|
- Fix layout conversion problem with AMS classes (bug 6140).
|
|

|
|
a new textcolor (bug 4473).
|
|
|
|
- Fix output of alignment if default aligment is not justified (bug 5995).
|
|
|
|
- Fix problem where updates in some child documents were not recognized
|
|
and no LaTeX update was performed (bug 6024).
|
|
|
|
- The default eLyXer configuration now handles images correctly on view
|
|
and export (requires eLyXer >= 0.27).
|
|
|
|
- Fix loading of UTF-8 encoded files when a byte order mark (BOM) is
|
|
present (bug 6030).
|
|
|
|
- Fix reverse DVI/PDF search with child documents (bug 6020).
|
|
|
|
- Assure that a longtable caption is in a first header even if the table
|
|
does not have one. This assures the caption is not repeated after a
|
|
page break and consequently in the list of tables (bug 6057).
|
|
|
|
- The file encoding is now properly restored after a LaTeX environment
|
|
or command with local scope (bug 5690).
|
|
|
|
- Enable the possibility to read documents from a path containing a
|
|
$-character (bug 4177).
|
|
|
|
- Enable document margin settings and hyperref settings in the
|
|
article (beamer) class.
|
|
|
|
- Fix bug involving incorrect requests to overwrite external files
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Fix the on-screen representation of headings in the AMS article and
|
|
AMS book classes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* USER INTERFACE
|
|
|
|
- Prevent a crash in Qt when scaling images on screen. This could occur
|
|
only for certain scaling factors and image sizes (bug 5957).
|
|
|
|
- Do not close hidden documents that have unsaved changes without asking
|
|
whether the changes should be saved (part of bug 5863).
|
|
|
|
- Fix bookmark navigation crash when multiple windows are used
|
|
(bug 6000).
|
|
|
|
- Disable the "sort" option in the outliner for the Table of Contents
|
|
which triggered a crash (bug 5983). Sorting the TOC didn't work anyway.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a crash when closing a LyX window with split views (bug 5998).
|
|
|
|
- Fix a crash when applying preference changes (bug 6064).

- Fix a crash when documents were hidden, the view was closed, and
|
|
the same documents were made visible in another view (bug 6162).
|
|
|
|
- Fix communication between lyxclient and server, which leads to a
|
|
crash once CTRL+D is used on the client side (bug 6106).
|
|
|
|
- Display the filename suffix in the tab header if it is non-standard
|
|
(e.g. ".lyx15"). This avoids a crash when loading two files with
|
|
identical names but different extensions (bug 5646), and disambiguates
|
|
such files in the user interface.
|
|
|
|
- Disable Symbols dialog for read-only documents. This prevents a
|
|
potential crash.
|
|
|
|
- Fall back to default UI file if the specified one cannot be found
|
|
(bug 6076).
|
|
|
|
- Fix assertion when a nested math hull appears in a math macro
|
|
(bug 5996).
|
|
|
|
- Fix assertion when pressing down arrow in the command buffer while
|
|
the history is empty (bug 6001).

|
|
5046 and 6026).
|
|
|
|

|
"replace" (bug 6013)
|
|
|
|

|
|
another character (bug 6063).
|
|
|
|
- Prevent a window resize when applying the Preferences when the
|
|
LyX window is maximized (bug 6034).
|
|
|
|
- Fix the upward scrolling when selecting with the mouse (bug 4464).
|
|
|
|
- Make Tools>Statistics ignore Note insets and inactive branches
|
|
(bug 2566).
|
|
|
|
- Take into account file system case sensitivity when checking whether
|
|
a path starts with a given prefix. This fixes a bug with reverse PDF
|
|
search when using SumatraPDF as a PDF viewer on Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
- Fix the maximum number of the files stored in last-opened-files list
|
|
(bug 5980).
|
|
|
|
- Disable unused functions in the citation dialog (bug 5987).
|
|
|
|
- Fix display of BibTeX entries in the info field of the citation
|
|
dialog by only converting text mode latex macros to unicode glyphs.

|
|
of bug 5082).

|
|
concern toolbars.
|
|
|
|
- Fix math-insert lfun behaviour in the absence of a selection or when
|
|
something outside mathed is selected (bug 6033).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Ensure that pasting into the preamble and the nomenclature dialog's
|
|
description widget resets the font formatting (bug 3936).
|
|
|
|
- Fix wrong labeling as "child only" branch if branches were unknown.
|
|
|

|
|
package (bugs 6047, 4043, and 5394).

|
|
(bug 4952).

|
|
session by Close View or Close Window (bug 5458).
|
|
|
|
- Remove empty paragraphs and superfluous spaces when leaving an inset
|
|
(bug 5435).
|
|
|
|
- Fix the scrolling problem that when scrolling with PgUp or PgDn, the

|
|
the cursor to end up somewhere else when scrolling back (bug 5944).
|
|
|
|
- Fix selection of math insets on some archs.
|
|
|
|
