This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.1.0, some
|
|
known problems in LyX 2.1.0 and some things you have to take into account
|
|
when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.1.x series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interface changes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
|
|
options have been added:
|
|
|
|
-export-to <format> <dest> (-E <format> <dest>)
|
|
|
|
Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened
|
|
to the specified destination file <dest> and format <format>.
|
|
For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run:
|
|
lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx
|
|
See the manual page for details.
|
|
This functionality is also available via a new menu voice
|
|
Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to
|
|
choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname.
|
|
Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch)
|
|
through a proper new LFUN (see below).
|
|
|
|
The Advanced Find and Replace feature now supports cancel of a long
|
|
search operation by hitting the ESC key.
|
|
|
|
The following pref variables were changed in 2.1:
|
|
|
|
The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.1:
|
|
|
|
- \\default_language
|
|
- \\default_papersize
|
|
|
|
The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS <format> <filename>
|
|
Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above).
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_CLIPBOARD_PASTE_SIMPLE ("clipboard-paste-simple")
|
|
Paste the clipboard contents as simple unformatted text.
|
|
This is also available through a new menu voice within the
|
|
[Edit]->[Paste Special...] sub-menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following LyX functions have been removed:
|
|
|
|
//template, remove this entry later on
|
|
- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following LyX functions have been changed:
|
|
|
|
//template, remove this entry later on
|
|
- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used
|
|
to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
|
|
inset-settings for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
|
|
|
|
//template, remove this entry later on
|
|
- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
|
|
The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux desktop file specification and scalable icon has been included
|
|
into the tarball.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New external programs and libraries:
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- LyX links now against libmagic (http://www.darwinsys.com/file/) if it is
|
|
available at compile time. This improves the file format detection of
|
|
included graphics and other files. The old builtin format detection code
|
|
is used if libmagic is not available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known issues in version 2.1.0
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
|
|
where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
|
|
this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
|
|
be enough.
|
|
|
|
Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.1.x
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to improve reported scrolling slowness, we changed the way screen
|
|
painting is done. This, however, can slow down the performance on remote
|
|
X connections and we provide RC_USE_QIMAGE variable, which brings back
|
|
the old way of painting (when set to false).
