How do I upgrade my existing LyX system to version 1.2.x?
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you upgrade from version 1.1.6 or 1.1.5, you shouldn't have any
|
|
problems. It is nevertheless a good idea to advise all users to run
|
|
Edit->Reconfigure.
|
|
|
|
If you have your own layout files, you may need to update them a little:
|
|
|
|
- all layout files should have a "DefaultStyle" entry
|
|
|
|
- the "Latex" font style does not exist anymore. If you really need
|
|
its functionality, consider using the "PassThru" keyword instead.
|
|
|
|
The new layout format keywords are described in the Customization
|
|
manual.
|
|
|
|
If you have your own binding files (especially math.bind), you will
|
|
have to update them
|
|
|
|
- math-insert now takes a latex macro name as argument, so that
|
|
"math-insert sqrt" should now be "\math-insert \sqrt"
|
|
|
|
- math-greek-toggle is now gone, and should be replaced by explicit
|
|
bindings like
|
|
|
|
\bind "M-m g a" "math-insert \alpha"
|
|
|
|
|

Build requirements

LyX's graphics handling system has changed substantially. If you
|
|
do not have the JPEG library installed, you may need to install
|
|
it before you can use the graphics capabilities of LyX. If you
|
|
do not have the ImageMagick command-line tools installed, you
|
|
will need to modify the default set up of LyX, or install them,
|
|
in order to get previews of your document's graphics.
|
|
|
|
Note: if you are using convert, and the graphics won't load in LyX,
|
|
then you are probably seeing a bug in earlier versions of ImageMagick.
|
|
You can either upgrade ImageMagick, change the convertor to use
|
|
"convert -depth 8", which shold work around the problem, or set up
|
|
a convertor to use a different conversion program as described in
|
|
the documentation.

Document transfer
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
In general, you don't need to convert any documents saved with LyX
|
|
1.1.5 or 1.1.6 to use them with LyX 1.2.0.
|
|
|
|
Older versions of LyX cannot read documents saved with LyX 1.2.0.
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.2.0 can read most documents saved with lyx 1.1.6 correctly.
|
|
|
|
If you were previously using the floatflt paragraph option to
|
|
wrap text around a figure, you will need to modify this for LyX 1.2.0
|
|
manually, as described in the manuals. Please ask on the lyx-users
|
|
list for assistance if you have trouble with this.
|
|
|
|
Note that your document may rely on the floatflt package (for example,
|
|
you may use \floatingfigure via LaTeX commands). If your document does
|
|
not have "\usepackage{floatflt}" already in the user pre-amble, you will
|
|
need to add it.
|
|
|
|
The babel package is now loaded after the user-defined
|
|
preamble (because some packages really need to be loaded before
|
|
babel). If you relied, on babel being loaded before your own
|
|
definitions, you can add an extra "\usepackage{babel}" statement at
|
|
the beginning of your preamble.

|
|
|
|
If you are using the minipage paragraph options in your document, you
|
|
may find that LyX 1.2.0 fails to import them correctly as minipages.
|
|
This might require some editing to correct this. If you have
|
|
trouble with this, please ask the lyx-users mailing list for assistance,
|
|
and we will be happy to help.
