Jürgen Spitzmüller 2c45aab0ac * src/insets/InsetCharStyle.cpp (draw):
- the status bar message on mouse hovering triggered a crash
	  when a math inset was embedded in a char style inset (bug 4559)
	  Until a better solution is found, the message is disabled.

This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.5.4
All comments are welcome.
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 into the BRANCH_1_5_X branch, which you
can get with the command
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_5_X lyx-1.5.x

What's new
==========
** Updates:
***********
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- New manual "LyX's detailed math manual" available in English, French, and
German. It includes the content of the example file "mathed.lyx", which is
no more shipped separately.
- New section "Floats Side by Side" in the EmbeddedObjects manual.
- New Spanish translation of the FAQ manual and the mathed example file.
- New Japanese splash LyX file.
- Updated French and Spanish Introduction manual.

- New Russian translation of the user interface.
- Updated Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish
translations of the user interface.
- New example files how to create serial letters.
* USER INTERFACE
- LyX gives more instructive information if a character cannot be encoded
properly. Most notably, the offending character is highlighted both in
the work area and in the "View Source" pane (bug 3511).
- Initial support for shift + right-mouse-click selection (bug 2304).
- The on-screen appearance of spaces has been improved.
- New shortcut "C-M-n" to create numbered formulas.
- Characters counting added to "Count Words" function (bug 2819).
- The BibTeX dialog now has buttons to move databases up or down
the list.
- New toolbar button to creates boxes.
- Keyboard shortcuts for TOC window buttons were introduced. For outlining
you can use "M-p Left/Right/Up/Down" keys. Note that depth-in/decrement
LFUNs are still reachable via "M-S-Left/Right" shortcuts (bug 4456).
- Improve cursor movement around lines with ending line-breaks.
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Use package wrapfig instead of floatflt for wrap figure floats, NOTE that
this might slightly change the output (cf. the file RELEASE-NOTES).
- Support to paste text containing ligatures to LyX.
* BUILD/INSTALLATION:
- The Windows version is compiled with MSVC 2008.
It is no longer necessary to install the Windows SDK and other patches,
these things are now also included in the Express edition.
- Viewers wrapper xdg-open was removed due to the problems on environments
without desktop managers. Waiting for upstream fixes.

*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Fix LaTeX output of documents with both CJK and non-CJK languages.
LyX is basically ready for multilingual CJK now (bug 4337).

of bug 4503).

format < 1.4.0.
