What's new in version 2.4.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We have fixed a number of bugs in this version. Most of these are minor,
|
|
but there was one crash when deleting rows or columns from a table that has
|
|
been fixed. There have also been some improvements to tab management. See
|
|
the complete list of updates and improvements below for more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.4.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new features in LyX 2.4 are detailed in
|
|
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX24
|
|
|
|
* DocBook 5 / ePub / XHTML 5 support
|
|
* Default Unicode for new documents
|
|
* Table improvements (styles and other)
|
|
* Redesign of Find/Replace dialog
|
|
* Flexible text fields
|
|
* Counters
|
|
* Global float settings
|
|
* Insets external editing
|
|
* Dark theme
|
|
* Qt 5 default, Qt 6 supported, Qt 4 dropped
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.3.7?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.7 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
|
|
more reliable and more stable. Since it has been quite a long time (for
|
|
unsurprising reasons) since the last update, this one contains more fixes
|
|
than usual. We have fixed a number of crashes.
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.3.6?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.6 is the sixth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. It is the
|
|
result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and
|
|
more stable. Most of the changes are fairly minor, fixes of smallish bugs,
|
|
but a couple crashes have been fixed, as well.
|
|
|
|
One oft-requested feature (going back 13 years) is the ability to create
|
|
new child documents from within the 'include file' dialog. This is now
|
|
possible. Another equally old bug that has been fixed is that pasting
|
|
table content outside a table no longer pastes tab characters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.3.5?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.5 is the fifth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.5 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
|
|
reliable and more stable. Most of the changes are incremental, but quite a
|
|
few important bugs have now been fixed.
|
|
|
|
One important change is that Inkscape 1.0 is now supported: It will be detected
|
|
and configured automatically. Users of previous versions have recently reported
|
|
configuration failures when Inkscape 1.0 is installed, leading to an incomplete
|
|
(and all but unusable) installation of LyX. This should also be fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.3.4?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.4 is the fourth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.4 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
|
|
reliable and more stable. One important change is that we have finally fixed
|
|
a large number of bugs related to bibitems (see bug #7548). We have also (we
|
|
hope) fixed a long-standing bug involving the saving of files on Windows to
|
|
Dropbox folders and another involving missing included files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.3.3?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.3 is the third maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
|
|
reliable and more stable. One important change is that emergency files are
|
|
now renamed when users wish to save them. As a result, older emergency files
|
|
are not over-written. One major update allows for the editing of the contents
|
|
of the user-provided premable, and the contents of ERT insets, in external
|
|
editors, a request that goes back to 2003 and bug #991.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.3.2?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
|
|
reliable and more stable. One main fix involves a crash with external viewers
|
|
on Windows. We have also fixed a number of problems with the output of right-
|
|
to-left languages, thanks to the involvement of users. There was also an
|
|
infinite loop bug connected with the separation of environments that has been
|
|
fixed. But, for the most part, the fixes here are incremental.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.3.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.1 is the first maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
|
|
|
|
We have fixed a number of bugs and added some new features. Perhaps the most
|
|
important of these is that Jean-Marc Lasgouttes re-wrote the document painting
|
|
mechanism. This makes LyX snappier, especially on repeated events.
|
|
|
|
All python scripts distributed with LyX should now be compatible with both
|
|
python 2.x and python 3.x.
|
|
|
|
One oft-requested enhancement was to restore a keyboard shortcut for opening
|
|
the 'settings' menu of graphics, reference, etc, insets. This is now Control-
|
|
Alt-i, on Windows and Linux, and Control-Option-i on OSX (assuming you are
|
|
using the default keybindings).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.3.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new features in LyX 2.3 are detailed in
|
|
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX23
|
|
|
|
* Biblatex support
|
|
* Multiple bibliographies
|
|

What's new in version 2.2.3?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.2.3 is the third maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.
|
|
|
|
We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements.
|
|
Most of these are relatively minor, but the combined result of fixing
|
|
them all has led to significant improvements. We encourage all users of
|
|
2.2.2 to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.2.2?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.2.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.
|
|
|
|
We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements.
|
|
Most of these are relatively minor, but we nonetheless encourage all
|
|
users of 2.2.1 to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the most important bug we fixed affected use of covington.sty with
|
|
2.2.1. This will only have affected users of the Linguistics module.
|
|
|
|
One new feature is the use of the "scaling" option when exporting images
|
|
for XHTML. This does not work the same way as with LaTeX export. What it
|
|
does is add something like "width: 50%" to the style attribute. This will
|
|
ordinarily be interpreted by the browser as a percentage relative to the
|
|
current element.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.2.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.2.1 is the first maintenance relase in the 2.2.x series.
|
|
|
|
A large number of bugs have been fixed since the 2.2.0 release.
|
|
We are pleased to say that most of these were relatively minor:
|
|
LyX 2.2.0 was perhaps the stable major version release we have
|
|
produced in a some time. Nontheless, we encourage all users of
|
|
2.2.0 to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.2.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new features in LyX 2.2 are detailed in
|
|
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX22
|
|
|
|
* HiDPI display support
|
|
* Qt5 support
|
|
* New text display algorithm
|
|
* Horizontal scrolling for large insets
|
|
* Improved control of paragraph breaks
|
|
* Improved text color support
|
|
* Improved box dialog
|
|
* Improved table context menu
|
|
* Reworked instant preview
|
|
* Enhanced source panel
|
|
* Improved outliner and navigation menu
|
|
* Enhanced language support
|
|
* New supported languages
|
|
* New supported LaTeX commands
|
|
* Layout enhancements
|
|
* Module enhancements
|
|
* New preferences settings
|
|
* New converters
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.1.5?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. Many
|
|
of these were minor, but there were a few crashes we fixed, too.
|
|
|
|
Please note that this is the final release in the 2.1.x series. It is
|
|
intended for users who for some reason do not wish to upgrade to 2.2.x
|
|
at this time. We strongly encourage all such users to upgrade to this
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
One of the main features of 2.1.5 is its ability to read and write files
|
|
in the 2.2.x format. Since the conversion process back and forth usually
|
|
will not leave one with an identical file, however, we do not recommend
|
|
attempting to collaborate with users of 2.2.x.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.1.4?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.1.4 is the fourth maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
|
|
|
|
A large number of bugs have been fixed. Many of these were minor, but
|
|
there were a few crashes we fixed, too, so we encourage all LyX users
|
|
to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.1.3?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.1.3 is the third maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
|
|
|
|
A large number of bugs have been fixed, most of them fairly minor. But
|
|
there were several additional improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion
|
|
program that should make import of older beamer documents more reliable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.1.2?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.1.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
|
|
|
|
The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem
|
|
that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0,
|
|
sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes generally
|
|
happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, usually a
|
|
fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a crash when
|
|
trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That bug has
|
|
also been fixed.
|
|
|
|
There are also several other, smaller bug-fixes, including several more
|
|
improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion scripts. This should make the import
|
|
of older beamer documents easier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.1.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.1.1 is the first maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. It is bug-
|
|
fixing release, and a whole lot of bugs have been fixed. Please see the
|
|
release announcement for the details.
|
|
|
|
Several users have reported seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, sometimes
|
|
resulting in dataloss. These crashes appear to happen when the user attempts
|
|
to save a file, and the dataloss occurs because the original LyX file is over-
|
|
written by a corrupt file that then cannot be opened. The seemingly random
|
|
crashes, we believe, are due to auto-save, which is enabled or disabled in
|
|
Tools> Preferences> Document Handling > "Backup documents every...minutes".
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the cause of this bug, though all
|
|
known reports seem to involve documents that contain tables, and the corrupt
|
|
file always ends with: \begin_inset Tabular.
|
|
|
|
To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user
|
|
has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before
|
|
attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup).
|
|
Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.1.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new features in LyX 2.1 are detailed in
|
|
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21
|
|
|
|
* Native IPA inset and IPA toolbar
|
|
* New supported languages
|
|
* Tex Fonts Additions
|
|
* Basic support for Math OpenType fonts
|
|
* Document class categories
|
|
* Enhanced support for LaTeX options
|
|
* New supported LaTeX commands
|
|
* New export command-line option
|
|
* Table rotations
|
|
* Layout enhancements
|
|
* New modules
|
|
* Equation Editor "mode"
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.8?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.0.8 is the final release in the 2.0 series. It is intended for
|
|
those who for some reason wish or need to continue using LyX 2.0.x. Most
|
|
users should upgrade to 2.1.0, which is being released simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
This release incorporates a number of important bug fixes, almost all of
|
|
which are also in 2.1.0. Those that are not will be released with 2.1.1.
|
|
The most important feature of 2.0.8 is that it is capable of reading and
|
|
writing files from LyX 2.1.x. Files from the newer format should open in
|
|
LyX 2.0.8 without the user needing to do anything special. Files can be
|
|
exported to the 2.1.x format in the usual way: via File> Export.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.7?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
2.0.7 is another bug-fixing release. Most of these are minor, but there
|
|
is one that is very ipmortant: #8854, which could lead to file corruption
|
|
in certain cases and, more often, would lead to errors in generated
|
|
files (e.g., PDFs). We encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
A number of other, less critical bugs have also been fixed. Please see
|
|
the ANNOUNCE file for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.6?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a bug-fixing release, for the most part. Though, as it has been
|
|
almost six months since the last release, a lot of important bugs have
|
|
been fixed. Please see the ANNOUNCE file for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.5?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The View>Source widget now allows you to select the backend to display,
|
|
e.g., LaTeX or XHTML, rather than the output format. The previous choice
|
|
really made no sense: You didn't see a PDF there if you chose one of the
|
|
PDF output formats, but rather LaTeX. This solves some long-standing issues
|
|
with View>Source.
|
|
|
|
There has been an important change in how the "language" lfun works.
|
|
- "language <LANG>" now toggles between languages
|
|
(status quo ante LyX 2.0.2)
|
|
- "language <LANG> set" sets to language <LANG>
|
|
(meaning of "language <LANG>" as of LyX 2.0.2)
|
|
- "language [reset]" resets to the document language.
|
|
- Menu functions are unchanged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.4?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We have migrated our development from subversion to the git revision
|
|
control sytem. If you follow or maintain packaging of up-to-date versions
|
|
of LyX 2.0.x, you must switch to the new repository address:
|
|
git://git.lyx.org/lyx
|
|
Branch 2.0.x is the stable branch. See
|
|
http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseGIT
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
Most of the improvements in 2.0.4 are bug fixes, some of them important. In
|
|
particular, we have fixed several crashes. The main outstanding problem is
|
|
the inability to cancel the background export process. Some improvement has
|
|
been made here, by updating the timeout mechanism, but more needs to be done,
|
|
and hopefully will be done for 2.0.5.
|
|
|
|
There have been several updates to LyX's XHTML export routines. Work on this
|
|
will continue for 2.0.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.3?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
There have been several more updates to LyX's Sweave support. Work on this
|
|
is expected to continue through the 2.0.x series.
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken
|
|
to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter.
|
|
A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used. Additionally,
|
|
byte-compiled python files changed their installation target. Distribution
|
|
maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets.
|
|
|
|
There have again been several updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Not
|
|
as many as with 2.0.2, but quite a few.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.2?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
There have been several improvements to LyX's ability to export documents
|
|
in the background, so the program does not freeze during compilation. We
|
|
hope to continue these improvements throughout the 2.0.x series.
|
|
|
|
There have been major updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Please see
|
|
below for the details.
|
|
|
|
The ctex document classes, used for Chinese documents, are now supported
|
|
by LyX.
|
|
|
|
Support for the Springer document classes has been updated for compatibility
|
|
with the lasest versions. This has the side-effect that files, created with
|
|
LyX 2.0.2 or future, using a Springer document class, will not be compilable
|
|
with LyX versions older than LyX 2.0.2. The same applies for files created
|
|
with LyX 1.6.10 or older that are saved with LyX 2.0.2 or future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We have fixed an unusually large number of bugs for this release and made
|
|
a number of improvements. All of these are detailed in the ANNOUNCE file.
|
|
We would like to highlight the improved handling of external files referenced
|
|
from ERT. This may cause issues for those who made use of the undocumented
|
|
\input@path hack. See the ANNOUNCE file again for how to do things the new
|
|
way. New methods for calling external scripts should also solve several issues
|
|
on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 2.0.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new features in LyX 2.0 are detailed in
|
|
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20
|
|
|
|
* Advanced Search Facility
|
|
* Spell-checking on the Fly
|
|
* Compare Documents Feature
|
|
* XHTML Output
|
|
* Multilingual Thesaurus
|
|
* XeTeX Backend
|
|
* Multiple Indices Support
|
|
* Progress View and Debugging Pane
|
|
* Enhanced Instant Preview
|
|
* Forward Search for DVI/PDF Files
|
|
* Enhanced Version Control Features
|
|
* Typesetting in background
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.10?
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
The most notable new feature of this version is that it is able to read and
|
|
import documents of our new stable series, LyX 2.0.x. This is for the benefit
|
|
of users who want to stick with LyX 1.6.x for the time being, but still want
|
|
to cooperate with users of the new version. Note that LyX 1.6.10 still
|
|
writes the 1.6 format, so it cannot produce (but only interpret) LyX 2.0's
|
|
new features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.9?
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We have fixed yet another number of crashes that have been reported to us
|
|
and ironed out many small glitches. Also, some features and additions from
|
|
the forthcoming 2.x series, such as support for CVS revision control and a
|
|
new Swedish localization, have been backported to LyX 1.6.9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.8?
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.6.8 is the result of our ongoing efforts to make our stable version
|
|
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed crashes that have been
|
|
reported to us, ironed out many small glitches, further polished the user
|
|
interface, updated the documentation and added some new layouts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.7?
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
From the list of fixes and improvements, we'd like to highlight
|
|
particularly that this release irons out all known stability problems with
|
|
Qt 4.6. LyX 1.6.7 is our first release that is supposed to run smoothly
|
|
with Qt 4.6, so we urge all distributors who use that version to upgrade
|
|
LyX as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.6.1?
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The sole purpose of this release is to fix one glitch that was introduced
|
|
by LyX 1.6.6: The spellchecker missed further misspellings after applying
|
|
a correction. This was due to the fix to different bug that had to be
|
|
reverted. In any other respect, this release is identical to Lyx 1.6.6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.6?
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The release features a long list of fixes and improvements. Yet a number
|
|
of crashes, reported by our users or our automatic stability testing
|
|
program, were fixed. Moreover, LyX was improved in many details. It also
|
|
introduces new features, such as support for the enchant spell checking
|
|
backend and for aspell language varieties (such as old and new German
|
|
spelling in parallel).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.5?
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The release comes with many fixes and improvements. A number of newly
|
|
reported crashes were fixed, new layouts and modules were included and
|
|
some long-standing requests were implemented (e.g., a working LyX
|
|
server on the Windows OS, finally enabling the communication with other
|
|
applications such as JabRef on this platform as well).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.4.2?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The upgrade fixes recurring pseudo-crashes when running LyX on
|
|
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.4.1?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.4?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the fourth maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. This release
|
|
covers, amongst many minor improvements, fixes to some rather severe
|
|
issues, such as:
|
|
|
|
* A workaround to a nasty problem in recent Qt versions (Qt 4.5.0 up to
|
|
4.5.2) that made LyX crash if the document included images that were
|
|
scaled to certain sizes in the work area.
|
|
* Fixes to problems that might result in the loss of data.
|
|
* Many other stability improvements, thanks to a new debugging script that
|
|
helped to reveal uncovered critical bugs.
|
|
* Further fixes to the LaTeX importer (tex2lyx) and the conversion of
|
|
older LyX documents (lyx2lyx).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.3?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the third maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. Besides the usual
|
|
improvements of stability, the highlights of this release are:
|
|
|
|
* tex2lyx is now able to read files in all latex supported encodings and
|
|
transform them into the proper unicode-based format introduced in 1.5.0.
|
|
This paves the way for many other improvements in LaTeX->LyX translation
|
|
* The performance problems when editing a master with child documents have
|
|
been resolved.
|
|
* LyX 1.6.3 introduces some goodies provided by Qt 4.5 (menu support for
|
|
fullscreen mode in linux, close button on tabs). Of course these
|
|
improvements (as well as some Qt-related fixes) only show up if LyX is
|
|
compiled against Qt 4.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.2?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the second maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. The release
|
|
fixes a large number of major and critical bugs that were reported by
|
|
users of LyX 1.6.0 and 1.6.1. Most notably, three bugs that might lead to
|
|
dataloss were detected and resolved. Furthermore, a number of crashes,
|
|
file conversion and LaTeX output problems are fixed. As a bonus, the
|
|
performance of the application has been improved, and the release also
|
|
introduces some new features and user interface improvements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.1?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the first maintenance release in the brand-new 1.6.x series, and
|
|
as such, it mainly focuses on bug fixes. We have ironed out some major
|
|
problems that slipped into the application in the wake of the new
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.6.0?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
|
|
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16
|
|
|
|
* Multiple Work Areas
|
|
* Split Views
|
|
* User-formattable Collapsible Insets
|
|
* Layout Modules
|
|
* Layout combobox changes
|
|
* Support for the LaTeX package hyperref
|
|
* Support for hyperlinks and URLs
|
|
* Improved floats
|
|
* New implementation of math macros
|
|
* Completion popup
|
|
* Inset Tooltip
|
|

|
* Graphics parameters groups
|
|
* LyX functions manual
|
|
* Multi-LFUN Keybindings
|
|

|
|
What's new in version 1.5.7?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the sixth maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle and it is
|
|
expected to be the final release in this series, since a new series of
|
|
stable releases has just been introduced by our new major release,
|
|
LyX 1.6.0. Besides the obligatory bug fixes, the main feature of this
|
|
release is the ability to read files created by LyX 1.6.0 (this feature
|
|
requires python 2.3.4 or newer).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.5.6?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the fifth maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle that has been
|
|
started exactly one year ago. The aim of this release was to make LyX
|
|
even more robust and to solve some long-standing annoyances. Also,
|
|
further translation efforts have been made, and LyX now ships in 23
|
|
languages.
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.5.5?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This release further improves the stability and usability of the
|
|
application. Besides this, it also introduces some new features. Most
|
|
notably, LyX is now prepared to be compiled with Qt 4.4 that has just
|
|
been released: the stability issues that occurred in previous versions
|
|
of LyX when compiled against Qt 4.4 have been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.5.4?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a maintenance release. Besides the usual stability
|
|
improvements and fixes, this release comes with major improvements in
|
|
the handling of Chinese, Korean and Japanese (CJK) languages and
|
|
scripts, and introduces some minor new features (such as a character
|
|
count option).
|
|
|
|
While this release continues the stable 1.5.x series, work on the next
|
|
major release, 1.6.0, is proceeding. A first alpha version of LyX
|
|
1.6.0 will be released later this week for those who like the bleeding
|
|
edge experience. Notwithstanding this, expect one or two more 1.5.x
|
|
versions to be released, of which the last one will be able to read
|
|
the 1.6 format.
|
|
|
|
All users, especially CJK users, are encouraged to upgrade to this
|
|
version. Caveat: We were forced to switch from the LaTeX package
|
|
'floatflt' to 'wrapfig' for wrap figure floats due to a license
|
|
problem that limited the availability of the former package. In
|
|
general, this should improve your documents containing wrap figures,
|
|
however, it is possible that the look and positioning of the floats
|
|
changes due to the package change. If you have documents with wrap
|
|
floats, please make a backup before upgrading and check the output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.5.3?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a maintenance release that further improves the stability and
|
|
the performance. Besides numerous crashes, the display problems that
|
|
slipped into 1.5.2 with the performance fixes (on the Mac and on
|
|
Windows) as well as problems entailed to the reworked document classes
|
|
were fixed. Furthermore, LyX 1.5.3 comes with speed improvements that
|
|
should pay off especially on the Mac and other UNIXes. Finally, this
|
|
version also provides some new features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.5.2?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a maintenance release that focuses on improving the
|
|
stability. We have fixed numerous crashes, performance problems, and
|
|
other bugs. Furthermore, the documentation has been revised. It covers
|
|
all new features of the 1.5.x series now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.5.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.1. It includes a few
|
|
bug fixes and, more importantly, fixes a bug where files produced with
|
|
the Document>Compressed option on would be malformed on windows. It
|
|
was therefore decided to revert to the trusty 1.4.x code in this area
|
|
and release 1.5.1 sooner than anticipated.
|
|
|
|
All 1.5.0 users are urged to upgrade to 1.5.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.5.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
|
|
visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
|
|
some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
|
|
|
|
* Unicode
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew
|
|
of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic
|
|
languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to
|
|
encodings currently available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8
|
|
encoding or a brand new typesetting system such as XeTeX.
|
|
Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some
|
|
areas still need a cleanup it, is very likely that some bugs related to
|
|
the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known
|
|
bugs on the LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related
|
|
to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel
|
|
mailing list.
|
|
|
|
* Integrated CJK support
|
|
|
|
The very first result of the Unicode transition is that we have finally
|
|
merged in the externally maintained CJK-LyX branch.
|
|
The languages Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are now supported in
|
|
the user interface.
|
|
Note that setting the encoding for these languages in LyX 1.5 by
|
|
using ERT or the document preamble will lead to LaTeX-errors!
|
|
Also note that you may need to run qtconfig and set appropriate default
|
|
or substitution fonts to display CJK characters under some circumstances.
|
|
|
|
* Language support
|
|
|
|
In addition to the CJK languages, the languages Armenian and Farsi also
|
|
have full user interface support.
|
|
|
|
* Multiple views of the same buffer
|
|
|
|
LyX can now display multiple views of the same buffer. I.e., you can
|
|
now open a single document in multiple windows and work on different
|
|
parts of it synchronously.
|
|
|
|
* Outliner and embedded TOC
|
|
|
|
LyX has another long-awaited feature: a basic outliner mode, in which
|
|
you can move chapters and sections around in the Table of Contents
|
|
dialog. (The outliner has been backported and was released with LyX
|
|
1.4.4.) The TOC dialog is now a dock widget, embedded in the main window.
|
|
|
|
* Session management
|
|
|
|
LyX is now able to remember window size and position and it will
|
|
reopen the documents you worked on last time around. If you've
|
|
selected the feature in the Preferences dialog, it'll even move the
|
|
cursor to the place you were working on last! Furthermore, toolbars
|
|
can (finally!) be switched on/off in View->Toolbars and moved about in
|
|
the LyX window. The session management will remember their state.
|
|
|
|
* Source code Viewer
|
|
|
|
As a kind of "anti-preview-latex", a dialog was implemented that lets
|
|
you view the source code of a given paragraph/selection or the whole
|
|
document.
|
|
|
|
* New Font Selection Interface
|
|
|
|
LyX's font selection abilities have been one of its weakest and most
|
|
outdated components. A completely new interface was implemented that
|
|
provides access to the power of LaTeX's font selection scheme.
|
|
|
|
* Tabular extensions
|
|
|
|
LyX's table support is certainly less powerful than that of
|
|
LaTeX. Support for the booktabs package has been implemented,
|
|
providing beautiful and elegant tabulars.
|
|
|
|
* Nomenclatures
|
|
|
|
LyX now has native support for the nomencl package. With this,
|
|
you can treat your document with all sorts of nomenclatures,
|
|
glossaries and fancy notations.
|
|
|
|
* Tabbed Widget
|
|
|
|
LyX now uses tabbed widgets to display multiple documents.
|
|
|
|
* Enhanced Math Toolbars
|
|
|
|
The math toolbar was enhanced significantly. Drop down menus were
|
|
added, allowing the integration of all of the math panel's content
|
|
to the math toolbars.
|
|
Since this input method is much easier than the clumsy panel, the math
|
|
panel itself has been removed and superceded by the toolbars.
|
|
|
|
* Frontend News
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.5 uses the Qt4 toolkit. This is especially good news for
|
|
Windows users, because there's an official, GPL version of Qt4. They no
|
|
longer have to rely on an unofficial port of the Unix Qt3 library to
|
|
Windows. The good old XForms frontend went the way of the dodo. It
|
|
was both hated and loved, and certainly shaped the unique look of LyX
|
|
in the past. It was finally killed off, however, by the switch to
|
|
unicode. The Qt3 frontend was also removed. The work on the GTK
|
|
frontend has been transferred to a branch because its development has
|
|
essentially stalled.
|
|
|
|
* Change tracking enhancements
|
|
|
|
Major parts of the change tracking code have been rewritten, addressing
|
|
several problems that existed in the previous implementation.
|
|
|
|
* Converter file cache
|
|
|
|
A cache for converted files, such as included figures, has been
|
|
implemented. This can speed up LyX's performance considerably when
|
|
displaying documents with many included figures that need conversion
|
|
to a format that can be rendered on screen. The converter file cache
|
|
is enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
The default maximum age of a cached file is 6 months. You can change
|
|
that with the line
|
|
|
|
\converter_cache_maxage xxx
|
|
|
|
where xxx is the maximum age in seconds, in your preferences file.
|
|
|
|
* Unified Windows installer
|
|
|
|
The two windows installers are being merged and bug reports regarding
|
|
both installers are welcome.
|
|
|
|
* Program listings
|
|
|
|
The traditional way to insert program listings in LyX involves the use
|
|
of the LyX-Code style. This option works quite well for short snippets but
|
|
does not support in-line code segments or the inclusion of external files.
|
|
|
|
Using the listings latex package as the backend a new inset was added that
|
|
supports all these three ways of listing computer programs.
|
|
|
|
* LaTeX-package support
|
|
|
|
LyX provides the following new document classes:
|
|
- article(IOP) - for scientific papers published by the IOP group
|
|
- presentation(powerdot) - for presentations using the powerdot package
|
|
- curriculum vitae(Europe) - for CVs following the guidelines of the EU
|
|
- curriculum vitae(modern) - for CVs using the moderncv package
|
|
- curriculum vitae(simple) - for simple CVs
|
|
|
|
* Minor user interface improvements
|
|
|
|
Several minor improvements of the user interface have been made, such as:
|
|
|
|
- Syntax highlighting of the user preamble and the LaTeX log file.
|
|
- Better parsing of BibTeX databases (in the citation dialog).
|
|
- Support for optional arguments for environments.
|
|
|
|
* Enhanced clipboard/selection handling
|
|
|
|
The clipboard has been tuned to work better with other applications.
|
|
Parallel to clipboard usages, the *nix way of using middle-button
|
|
to paste selected text is enhanced, and is also available under windows
|
|
(but within lyx only). Selection of lyx text is now persistent in that
|
|
you can paste the selected text using the middle button multiple times,
|
|
even after the selection has been cleared.
|
|
|
|
* Limited support for local class and layout files
|
|
|
|
Lyx can not create, but can open a .lyx file with .cls and .layout files
|
|
stored in the same directory as the .lyx file. That is to say, if you send
|
|
your co-author a .lyx file with associated class and layout files, s/he
|
|
can view and modify the .lyx file directly, without having to install the
|
|
.cls and .layout files, reconfigure and restart lyx. Note that the .cls and
|
|
.layout files have to be copied to every directory your .lyx files reside,
|
|
should you use different directories for master and child documents.
|
|
|
|
* Under the hood
|
|
|
|
As usual, one big task has been the ongoing code cleanup of the LyX
|
|
core. Performing this cleanup makes the code more understandable and
|
|
easier to maintain. It also leads inevitably to a more robust
|
|
application. Nonetheless, it's an unfortunate fact of life that ugly
|
|
code is sometimes faster than pretty code. We're well aware that LyX
|
|
1.4 is slower than LyX 1.3. One important goal of this 1.5 development
|
|
series has been to bring this speed back.
|
|
|
|
** Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
Lots of long-lasting bugs have been fixed, as documented in LyX
|
|
bugzilla. Probably some new ones have been introduced instead ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.4.5.1?
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The only change over release 1.4.5 is the addition to the distribution
|
|
of one file necessary to read and write lyx 1.5 files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.4.5?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is expected to be the last release in the 1.4.x stable
|
|
branch. Besides the obligatory bug fixes, its main feature is the
|
|
ability to read files created by LyX 1.5.0 (this feature requires
|
|
python 2.3.4 or later).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.4.4?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is of course a bug fix release, but some new features sneaked in, among which:
|
|
|
|
*) Outline support: it is now possible to move around parts of
|
|
documents in the Table of Contents dialog.
|
|
|
|
*) Add new UI settings default-autotoolbars and default-alltoolbars
|
|
allowing to select what toolbars are active or shown automatically.
|
|
|
|
*) Improved documentation.
|
|
|
|
*) Speed improvements, especially on windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.4.3?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a bug fix release that improves stability and MS Windows
|
|
support. Notable new features include:
|
|
|
|
*) The windows port does not need a MSys (unix-like tools)
|
|
installation anymore.
|
|
|
|
*) A new function inset-dissolve has been added to delete an text
|
|
inset and put its contents in the enclosing text; this can be
|
|
accessed (like in the math editor) by pressing Backspace at the start
|
|
of an inset, or Delete at the end.
|
|
|
|
*) Many crashes have been fixed, in particular for systems based on
|
|
gcc 4.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.4.2?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a bug fix release that improves performance, stability and native OS support. Notable new features include:
|
|
|
|
*) LyX now automatically uses file viewers and editors set at OS level
|
|
[Windows and Mac OS X only].
|
|
|
|
*) The windows installer has been completely rewritten.
|
|
|
|
*) A new function buffer-toggle-compression (and corresponding entry
|
|
in the Document menu) has been added to change whether the file will
|
|
be compressed on disk or not.
|
|
|
|
*) A "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format has been added. This new output
|
|
format produces .tex files that are suitable for pdflatex, including
|
|
figure conversion to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.4.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a bug fix release, but some of the bugs were big. In particular:
|
|
|
|
*) fix the huge memory consumption and corresponding sluggishness with
|
|
documents containing many graphics or `instant preview' snippets.
|
|
|
|
*) fix slow screen update with nested insets, particularly with
|
|
LyX/Mac.
|
|
|
|
*) fix the delay when exiting from a math inset.
|
|
|
|
*) let the change tracking code track paragraph breaks too.
|
|
|
|
*) Also, this will be the first 1.4 release with a windows
|
|
installer. See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.4.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
As usual with major releases, a lot of work that is not directly
|
|
visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
|
|
some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
|
|
|
|
** Improved user interface
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.4 has a re-designed layout for the menus, designed to decrease
|
|
clutter and maximise productivity. Several menu items (in the Edit
|
|
menu) are now context-sensitive, so they only appear when needed. For
|
|
the die-hard old LyX users, the older layout (referred to as the
|
|
classic UI) is still available, for now.
|
|
|
|
It's now possible to define multiple toolbars as seen in other
|
|
editors. By default, the new LyX release has two toolbars displayed,
|
|
the standard one (similar to the static toolbar in LyX 1.3), plus the
|
|
extra toolbar. In addition, there are two pre-defined toolbars
|
|
available: one for tables, and one for math.
|
|
|
|
Another new feature worth mentioning is popup toolbars: you can set a
|
|
toolbar such that it only appears when editing math, or when editing a
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
** Change tracking
|
|
|
|
This new feature, similar to that found in Microsoft Word and others,
|
|
makes collaboration on a document a cinch. It provides a way to track
|
|
changes made to a document, and later approve, reject, or modify such
|
|
changes.
|
|
|
|
** Much better conversion from .tex to .lyx
|
|
|
|
The ancient and unloved Perl script, reLyX has finally bitten the dust
|
|
and been replaced by the brand new and shiny tex2lyx. tex2lyx's LaTeX
|
|
parser follows most of the rules of the real TeX and so is already
|
|
much more powerful than reLyX ever was.
|
|
|
|
** Character styles
|
|
|
|
For a system that purports to make it easy to write documents full of
|
|
logical (as opposed to visual markup), LyX has always had one glaring
|
|
omission: no character styles. LyX 1.4 goes some way towards
|
|
addressing this defect, although there's no dialog to define your own
|
|
styles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Branches
|
|
|
|
The teacher who's setting an exam obviously doesn't want her pupils
|
|
seeing the answers, yet having questions and answers in the same
|
|
document will make the life of the markers of that exam much easier.
|
|
|
|
That's just one example of someone who would benefit from LyX's new
|
|
"branches" feature. In fact, anyone who writes documents which have
|
|
more than one target audience will find this feature useful.
|
|
|
|
** Minipages evolve to Boxes
|
|
|
|
In 1.3, LyX only had native support for plain minipages. Now you can
|
|
use a wide range of box types and decorations directly from the LyX
|
|
GUI
|
|
|
|
** Notes
|
|
|
|
LyX now has three different Notes for you to add to your document from
|
|
the Insert>Note menu:
|
|
|
|
- the "LyX Note" is not exported to LaTeX, as now. The "Comment" is
|
|
- exported to LaTeX as a comment environment and is not processed
|
|
further.
|
|
- The Greyed Out note is visible in your PostScript or PDF output as,
|
|
well, greyed-out text.
|
|
|
|
** Better language and numbering on screen
|
|
|
|
Two features help to make the screen rendering closer to the printed output:
|
|
|
|
- the labels attached to layouts like Chapter are now translated in
|
|
the language of the document, which may be different from the
|
|
language of the menus;
|
|
- sectioning headers and theorems are now numbered according to the
|
|
document class specifications.
|
|
|
|
** Word count
|
|
|
|
Yes, it's finally there! Tools>Count Words will give you a word
|
|
count of the document or of the current selection.
|
|
|
|
** Error Lists
|
|
|
|
Nasty "error boxes" were eliminated in favor of a dialog with a list
|
|
of errors popping up at compilation time.
|
|
|
|
** Improved bibliography support
|
|
|
|
- LyX's support for natbib has been enhanced. Now, also the mysterious
|
|
"before citation" field is supported;
|
|
- We have added support for jurabib, an amazing package to produce
|
|
flexible citations that are especially well suited for the humanities
|
|
and law fields;
|
|
- Support for sectioned bibliographies (bibtopic) has been added;
|
|
- the way bibtex is called is now customizable (as is the way the
|
|
index processor is invoked).
|
|
|
|
** Improved microtypography support
|
|
|
|
LyX aims to produce superior typography. With 1.4, it supports:
|
|
|
|
- more blank characters (e.g. a "thin space", which should stand here
|
|
between "e." and "g.");
|
|
- inner and outer quotation marks without the hassle of toggling the
|
|
style in the documents dialog. Just use the Alt key.
|
|
- the handling of figure and table alignment inside floats has been
|
|
improved. You can now use the paragraph dialog without getting too
|
|
much space between figure/table and caption.
|
|
|
|
** Small bits
|
|
|
|
- Figure and table floats can be rotated sideways
|
|
|
|
- The external xfig inset has been improved especially with regard to
|
|
pdf generation
|
|
|
|
- The graphics inset dialog has now an "edit" button that allows to
|
|
edit the included figure
|
|
|
|
- For index generation, xindy can be used instead of makeindex, which
|
|
has poor support for other than English index sorting.
|
|
|
|
** Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
Lots of long-lasting bugs have been fixed, as documented in LyX
|
|
bugzilla. Probably some new ones have been introduced instead ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.3.7?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We hope that this will be the last release in the 1.3.x series. In
|
|
addition to many bug fixes, the following improvements are worth
|
|
noting:
|
|
|
|
- LyX 1.3.7 is able to read all LyX files up to file format 245,
|
|
the format that we anticipate will be used by the forthcoming LyX 1.4.0.
|
|
|
|
- The windows version has received some polish, in particular in the
|
|
installer and in the handling of file names.
|
|
|
|
All current 1.3.x users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.3.6?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Unix and MacOSX users should consider this to be a bugfix release.
|
|
|
|
To Windows users, however, LyX 1.3.6 is the first version of LyX
|
|
to support the platform officially. This means that we've put a huge
|
|
effort into squashing those bugs that were present in Ruurd Reitsma's
|
|
unofficial ports to Windows. Large chunks of the code base have been
|
|
touched in an attempt to resolve these problems so whilst we're
|
|
confident that LyX/Win 1.3.6 will be the best ever version of LyX on
|
|
Windows, we cannot say that it's bug free.
|
|
|
|
We would like to highlight three fixes in particular:
|
|
* It is now possible to typeset files which reside in a directory with
|
|
spaces in its name; this requires a modern TeX implementation (such
|
|
as teTeX 3.0).
|
|
* It is possible to use Ctrl-PageDown and Control-PageUp (<opt>-tab
|
|
and <opt><shift>-tab with LyX/Mac) to switch between the open documents.
|
|
* LaTeX-type accents, ligature breaks and hyphenation marks are now
|
|
considered as part of words
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.3.5?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is mainly a bugfix release, with few notable user-visible
|
|
improvements. However, we would like to highlight two fixes in particular:
|
|
* Nested documents (with Insert>Include File...), which have been
|
|
broken since LyX 1.2.0, should now work properly, including the
|
|
case where the files are in different directories.
|
|
* It is now possible to compile LyX with gcc 3.4.
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.3.4?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.3 in
|
|
five main areas:
|
|
* It adds support for old files from LyX 0.10.x or 0.12.x;
|
|
* Lyx documents can now be opened and edited even if
|
|
they use text classes not present in your latex installation;
|
|
* New Qt features have been added (improved selection,
|
|
drag-and-drop);
|
|
* Mac OS X support is much improved;
|
|
* The interface and documentation localization have
|
|
been polished.
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.3.3?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.2 in
|
|
four main areas:
|
|
* import of old LyX files and export to DocBook have been improved;
|
|
* many small bugs in the Qt frontend have been fixed;
|
|
* MacOSX users can now compile LyX and enjoy the native MacOSX interface;
|
|
* several languages now benefit from an improved translation of
|
|
the user interface and documentation.
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.3.2?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.1 in
|
|
three main areas:
|
|
* the spellchecker code has been overhauled and many bugs
|
|
have been squashed;
|
|
* many small bugs in the Qt frontend have been fixed;
|
|
* several languages now benefit from an improved translation of
|
|
the user interface.
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.3.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.3.1 is a maintenance release, which adds some polish to the new
|
|
features of LyX 1.3.0 (especially the Qt frontend) and also fixes some
|
|
significant bugs in the math editor and the lyx2lyx import script. We
|
|
also threw in a few new features (new textclasses, latex import
|
|
improvements) for good measure.
|
|
|
|
** Updates
|
|
|
|
- when there is vertical space between paragraphs, the amount of space
|
|
is also indicated in the small/medium/large case [bug #814]
|
|
|
|
- reLyX improvements: support for natib citations, for 'm' column
|
|
descriptors in tables; a .lyx file generated by reLyX now says this
|
|
|
|
- new classes mwart, mwbk and mwrep (adaptation of the base classes to
|
|
polish conventions); new class elsart (for journals published by
|
|
Elsevier); updated classes koma-script (in particular new class
|
|
scrlttr2); re-introduce class ijmpd (which was in 1.2.x) and unbreak
|
|
class kluwer
|
|
|
|
- new "polski" keymap, useful for entering Polish on a QWERTY
|
|
keyboard; update to Scientific Word-compatible bindings
|
|
(documentation has been updated too)
|
|
|
|
- updates to the danish, dutch, french, german, norwegian, polish and
|
|
spanish translation of menus
|
|
|
|
- Most of the documentation has been updated for the current version
|
|
of LyX. If you find some problems with the documentation in this
|
|
release, please contact lyx-docs@lists.lyx.org
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.3.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
As with the previous major version 1.2.0, many things make this new
|
|
release an exciting one. One of the major projects that has been going
|
|
on behind the scenes is the so-called GUI-independence project. We are
|
|
glad to announce that version 1.3.0 shows the first results of this.
|
|
LyX now comes in two flavours: Qt-LyX and xforms-LyX!
|
|
|
|
Although this is the most visible change in version 1.3, this should not
|
|
hide the fact that the `under the hood' changes to the code have again
|
|
been very important. A detailed list can be found below.
|
|
|
|
** Qt frontend
|
|
|
|
This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports
|
|
either Qt 2.x or 3.x and is mostly feature complete. Note that some
|
|
of the dialogs are slightly different in design, but are generally
|
|
functionally equivalent.
|
|
|
|
Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
|
|
latex-xft-fonts package at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib to get maths
|
|
symbols displayed properly.
|
|
|
|
** Gnome frontend
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly
|
|
stopped recently and we have therefore chosen to disable it. We
|
|
strongly invite anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the
|
|
developer's list.
|
|
|
|
** Instant preview
|
|
|
|
preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows "instant previews"
|
|
of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual rendering of the
|
|
LaTeX in the document. Its project home page can be found at
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex. With the help of David
|
|
Kastrup, the author, LyX 1.3.0 can harness this functionality to
|
|
allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and
|
|
figures. This feature can be immensely useful, ensuring that the
|
|
rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The
|
|
preview is only displayed (if enabled) when you're not editing the
|
|
actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too.
|
|
|
|
** Math editor
|
|
|
|
There have been a few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the
|
|
visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of
|
|
a formula, showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the
|
|
formula itself and revealing the names of the nesting levels in the
|
|
minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy
|
|
package containing e.g. the zodiac symbols. New also is the internal
|
|
structure of font changes which are now proper "insets", just like
|
|
anything else from a square root to an array. This not only simplifies
|
|
the code greatly but also allows the same editing tricks as for the
|
|
"regular" math. However, it was not possible to tweak the visible
|
|
behaviour to mimic 1.2 in all cases, so this might take some time to
|
|
get accustomed to. On the pro side, the new structure allowed
|
|
support for LaTeX's \mbox and \fbox to be implemented and general
|
|
"switching back to text mode within math", so a lot of "evil red text"
|
|
trickery is not needed anymore. The most visible changes are the following:
|
|
|
|
- Pressing { and } will insert LaTeX's \{ and \} which show up as { }
|
|
in the printout. To get LaTeX's {} nesting, you need to type \{.
|
|
|
|
- Fonts changes now really nest. Repeated application of a font change
|
|
will result in nested font changes! To remove a font change without
|
|
removing the "contents", it is now possible to "pull the argument"
|
|
like in other insets, i.e. put the cursor in the first position of
|
|
the inset and press 'backspace'.
|
|
|
|
** Reading old files
|
|
|
|
LyX now has a new script lyx2lyx which enables the reading of any file
|
|
produced by LyX versions as old as 0.12. Work is in progress on files
|
|
created with LyX 0.10 (LyX 1.4 time-line) and still older files are
|
|
in the forge. Basically if lyx wrote it LyX will read it. :-)
|
|
|
|
There is also a strong demand to be able to read files produced by
|
|
_newer_ versions of LyX. While lyx2lyx has the infrastructure in place
|
|
to do such things, the filters to `downgrade' LyX files (from 1.3.0 to
|
|
1.2.x, for example) have not yet been written.
|
|
|
|
** Miscellaneous changes
|
|
|
|
- LyX now automatically uses TeX fonts for screen rendering of math
|
|
equations if they are available (it is not necessary anymore to
|
|
configure your font server).
|
|
|
|
- The Insert>Short Title allows the addition of an optional text
|
|
for section headings and captions that is designed to be used in
|
|
tables of contents.
|
|
|
|
- The Insert>Float>Floatflt Figure menu item restores the ability
|
|
to wrap text around an image which was present in 1.1.6 and
|
|
removed in 1.2.0
|
|
|
|
- If you configure with --with-pspell (which uses the PSpell library for
|
|
spellchecking), you will be able to automatically spell-check
|
|
multi-language documents, assuming you have the right dictionaries
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.2.3?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.2.3 is a maintenance release. It mainly fixes a very bad bug
|
|
where configuring LyX as root could lead to deleting the /dev/null
|
|
special device (this does not impact users of prebuilt binaries).
|
|
Also, a bug where LyX would create zombie processes has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
** Updates
|
|
|
|
- updated italian User Guide
|
|
|
|
- updated french localization
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.2.2?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.2.2 is a maintenance release. It is a recommended upgrade from
|
|
1.2.0 or 1.2.1, especially since it fixes a few bugs introduced in
|
|
1.2.1.
|
|
|
|
** Updates
|
|
|
|
- LyX builds with the newly released xforms 1.0. Actually, it is
|
|
advised to use this version of xforms, since it fixes many bugs and
|
|
support for older versions will probably be dropped in LyX 1.3.0
|
|
|
|
- selecting a word by double clicking now sets the X clipboard (like
|
|
when dragging the mouse)
|
|
|
|
- it is now possible to specify the arguments for viewers; in
|
|
particular, this means that it is possible to use browsers which
|
|
require a file: URL as HTML viewers (mozilla is used as default if
|
|
found)
|
|
|
|
- when a new LyX version is launched, the Edit>Reconfigure tool is
|
|
automatically invoked; this should avoid many problems with users
|
|
who are not aware that it is needed
|
|
|
|
- when changing the current layout with the toolbar, the corresponding
|
|
keyboard binding is shown in the minibuffer
|
|
|
|
- in hebrew language, the key " now inserts a typewriter quote (since
|
|
other quotes do not make sense in hebrew)
|
|
|
|
- Insert>Lists & TOC>Bibtex Reference uses style 'plain' by default
|
|
|
|
- new class ijmpd; update cl2emult, llncs and foils textclasses
|
|
|
|
- update sciword bindings
|
|
|
|
- small cleanup of UserGuide and FAQ; update to German, French and
|
|
Russian documentation; new Hebrew tutorial
|
|
|
|
- update french, german, russian, finnish and danish localization of
|
|
the interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.2.1?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.2.1 is a maintenance release which fixes many bugs in version
|
|
1.2.0. We hope in this way to enhance world happiness, allowing the
|
|
developers to continue busily to prepare the next major release
|
|
1.3.0. There are a lot of fixes in there, and upgrading is highly
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
** Updates
|
|
|
|
- it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0
|
|
when this gets released)
|
|
|
|
- partial rewrite of the find & replace feature. This should solve most of
|
|
the performance problems
|
|
|
|
- new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog
|
|
|
|
- revert to the old behaviour when creating new floats (figure,
|
|
table...): the empty paragraph in the float now is a caption. It
|
|
seems that 1.2.0 behaviour was confusing too many people
|
|
|
|
- it is now possible to set the float placement parameters to
|
|
"document defaults"
|
|
|
|
- when the cursor is inside a collapsible inset, `Edit>Open/close
|
|
float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should
|
|
help entering of ERT insets)
|
|
|
|
- update Finnish, Danish, French and Russian localizations
|
|
|
|
- update Tutorial to 1.2.x features
|
|
|
|
- better support for entering Cyrillic and Greek alphabets
|
|
|
|
- cleanup shortcuts for section layouts. Starred versions are now
|
|
obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ...,
|
|
M-p asterisk 6)
|
|
|
|
- add keyboard shortcuts to the Documents menu
|
|
|
|
- support the numpad direction keys as equivalent to normal cursor
|
|
keys
|
|
|
|
- it is now possible to specify a non-existent file name on the command
|
|
line and have this file created for you
|
|
|
|
- new class cl2emult; update template for IEEEtran; small update to
|
|
heb-article and hollywood textclasses
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in version 1.2.0?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.2.0 is the version where many of changes in the 1.1.x series
|
|
really begin to pay off. It should prove to be a very solid base for
|
|
further developments. As of this version, we use (yet another) new
|
|
versioning scheme: next major version will be 1.3.0, and 1.2.x will
|
|
be just incremental fixes (like the `fix' series used to be for 1.1.5
|
|
and 1.1.6).
|
|
|
|
This version sees the introduction of the so-called `new' insets,
|
|
which can contain arbitrary text. As a consequence, many new features
|
|
are now possible:
|
|
|
|
- Floats, footnotes and margin notes are now real insets. The
|
|
positional parameters of figure, table and algorithm floats can be set
|
|
float-by-float
|
|
|
|
- Most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been addressed
|
|
(memory consumption, file bloat, spell-checking, search and replace...).
|
|
Better longtable header/footer support was implemented.
|
|
|
|
- TeX mode has been superseded by the ERT inset, which is foldable, or
|
|
can be shown inline
|
|
|
|
- Notes inset can now contain arbitrary LyX constructs; they will not
|
|
appear in the output.
|
|
|
|
- New minipage inset
|
|
|
|
Note that another consequence of these changes is that older LyX
|
|
versions will almost certainly fail to read files produced by LyX
|
|
1.2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other more traditional insets have been improved too:
|
|
|
|
- New graphics inset with support for hassle-free inclusion of various
|
|
image formats (GIF, JPEG, PNG and EPS by default) and a new
|
|
rendering scheme that should fix the bugs we had with the older
|
|
ghostscript method.
|
|
|
|
- Support for natbib for bibliography citations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The math editor has been mostly rewritten. This begun as a general
|
|
cleanup, but it turns out that many new features happened in this
|
|
process, among which:
|
|
|
|
- many of the known bugs or annoyances in mathed have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
- possibility to display all standard latex and amsmath symbols (and
|
|
also the \mathcal, \mathbb, and \mathfrak fonts)as long as the
|
|
relevant fonts have been made available to the X server
|
|
|
|
- support for many amsmath features
|
|
Commands: xrightarrow, xleftarrow, substack, underset, dddot
|
|
over/under arrows (e.g. underleftarrow).
|
|
Environments: align, alignat, xalignat, xxalignat, multline, gather
|
|
split, gathered, aligned, cases, subarray, pmatrix, bmatrix, vmatrix,
|
|
Vmatrix
|
|
|
|
- Preliminary support for xymatrix

What's new in LyX version 1.1.6?
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As with all of the 1.1.x versions of LyX, this release contains a lot
|
|
of new code: in particular, more than half of the changes described in
|
|
the ChangeLog (which dates back to the 1.1.0 release) concern LyX 1.1.6!
|
|
|
|
Besides the usual under-the-hood changes, LyX 1.1.6 has many
|
|
new user-visible features. The main visible feature is that the
|
|
GUI-independent branch of development has been merged, as well as code
|
|
from the older development version:
|
|
|
|
- many popups have been rewritten to use the new GUI-I scheme. In the
|
|
process they have received a nice cleanup: the Document and Paragraph
|
|
popups now contain in one single place what was previously scattered
|
|
in many places. Similarly, the citation and cross reference popups
|
|
have been overhauled.
|
|
|
|
- LyX now has a Preference popup where you can change most of your
|
|
lyxrc settings.
|
|
|
|
- the menus can now be defined in a text file, and they automatically
|
|
display the keyboard bindings associated with commands.
|
|
|
|
- it is now possible to provide your own icons for the toolbar.
|
|
|
|
- last but not least, work has begun on a KDE and a Gnome frontend for
|
|
LyX. They are not officially supported for this version, but this
|
|
will give you an idea of what is happening.
|
|
|
|
Other major changes in 1.1.6 include:
|
|
|
|
- the table support has been completely rewritten. It is now a modular
|
|
object (inset), each cell of which owns a (also) newly written text
|
|
inset. This now permits automatic text-wrap inside a tabular
|
|
cell (if you define a width), multiparagraph mode AND setting of
|
|
layouts for the paragraphs (lists inside a tabular cell!). Last but
|
|
not least, a wide tabular now scrolls automatically so that all of it
|
|
is visible without the need to enlarge the window!
|
|
|
|
While there are as yet no other new features, they will be now MUCH
|
|
easier to add. It may be that because of being "young" code some
|
|
features may not work right now, but at least it is much
|
|
better than before.
|
|
|
|
- new external material inset: this is a new kind of very powerful
|
|
inset which will allow LyX to interface intelligently with external
|
|
applications. Among other good things, it will finally allow you to
|
|
include GIF, JPEG, TIF, PNG, or just about any other raster format
|
|
images in your document. It will even do an approximate ascii
|
|
rendering when you do Ascii export if you have gifscii installed.
|
|
|
|
- The code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for
|
|
viewing or exporting purposes) and from anything else to LyX has been
|
|
rewritten. In particular, it is now possible to export to PDF, and to
|
|
import from HTML/MSWord. In fact it's now possible to add new import/export
|
|
formats without recompiling LyX by specifying external programs or scripts
|
|
in lyxrc settings
|
|
(note that the old import/export lyxrc settings no longer work).
|
|
|
|
- LyX can do command line exports without opening any GUI components.
|
|
|
|
- The multilingual support has been improved. It is now possible to use in a
|
|
document languages with different encodings, e.g. German (iso8859-1) and
|
|
Czech (iso8859-2). Such a document can be viewed on screen using an
|
|
iso10646-1 (Unicode) font. However, it is (currently) not possible to
|
|
have differently encoded languages in the same paragraph.
|
|
The languages and the encodings are defined in text files.
|
|
|
|
- Improved support for Hebrew and Arabic (also present in 1.1.5fix2).
|
|
|
|
- included files work now with docbook and linuxdoc; new layout
|
|
docbook-book.
|
|
|
|
- PSpell library and Aspell spell checker support now included thanks
|
|
largely to Kevin Atkinson (PSpell and Aspell maintainer).
|
|
|
|
And finally, there have been a lot of smaller changes, which are
|
|
mentioned here for your information
|
|
|
|
- the menu entry File->New does not prompt for a file name by default
|
|
(this can be changed in preferences).
|
|
|
|
- new -geometry command line option, which replaces the old -width,
|
|
-height, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in LyX version 1.1.5?
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Lots of internal code rewritten, fixed, changed and added.
|
|
We are using the C++ Standard Library more each day.
|
|
This will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain
|
|
and expand.
|
|
We are also gearing up for the merge of the gui-indep branch, expect
|
|
this (but not the new gui's) in 1.1.6.
|
|
|
|
User-visible changes:
|
|
|
|
- Paste to other programs (like emacs or xterm). Note: text only.
|
|
|
|
- New TOC menu item for fast access to the table of contents.
|
|
|
|
- New Refs menu item for quick insertion of cross-references.
|
|
|
|
- multilingual documents (preliminary support)
|
|
|
|
- Right-to-Left support for Hebrew and Arabic, this is a first attempt
|
|
only and is likely to improve in future versions.
|
|
|
|
- Per-paragraph spacing, currently only settable from the
|
|
command-line/window:
|
|
paragraph-spacing (default,single,onehalf,double,other) [float]
|
|
|
|
- New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the !
|
|
in the margin for margin notes has been removed).
|
|
|
|
- End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense.
|
|
|
|
- labels are now editable (not in equations, though).
|
|
|
|
- Much faster spellchecking (50x faster!).
|
|
|
|
- The parsing of the LaTex log has improved flagging more errors that
|
|
earlier versions of LyX did not see at all. So if you suddenly have
|
|
errors in documents that used to have none, this might be the casue.
|
|
(And you probably had the error always.)
|
|
|
|
- Better definition for LyXList style.
|
|
|
|
- hollywood.layout and broadway.layout have improved. New classes
|
|
LLNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), svjog (Journal of Geodesy)
|
|
|
|
- support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support)
|
|
|
|
- A couple of changes to the LyX format, so that files written with
|
|
1.1.5 will not be parsed correctly by older LyX versions if protected
|
|
spaces or the new per-paragraph spacing are used. Also the RtL
|
|
support is of course not supported in older versions.
|
|
|
|
- Removed support for XForms older than 0.88.
|
|
|
|
- Some command-line options and X resources are not supported anymore
|
|
(The color ones, and -mono -fastselection, -reverse)
|
|
|
|
- New command-line options '-userdir' which so that you can choose to
|
|
use another dir than .lyx for user configurations. (Or have many.)
|
|
|
|
- new lyxrc variables: \show_banner [true|false] to remove the banner
|
|
screen, \backupdir_path to tell where the backup files created
|
|
by lyx should be stored, and \override_x_deadkeys to tell whether
|
|
lyx should provide its own accent keys handling (default is true).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in LyX version 1.1.4?
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
More internals have been rethought. In particular, most of the file IO
|
|
routines of LyX have been rewritten to use real C++ streams. Many
|
|
changes have also been done to help compile LyX with Sun CC 5.0 and
|
|
SGI STL 3.2.
|
|
|
|
In the user-visible department, we find:
|
|
|
|
- new command line option -x (or --execute) and -e (or --export). Now
|
|
direct conversion from .lyx to .tex (.dvi, .ps, ...) is possible
|
|
('lyx file.lyx --export latex') Unfortunately, X is still needed and
|
|
the GUI pops up during the process...
|
|
|
|
- better placement of accents for characters that LyX draws by itself;
|
|
|
|
- improved translations, in particular in Finnish (overhauled UI
|
|
translation), Dutch (tutorial and examples), German
|
|
|
|
- new configure flag --with-lyxname which allows to choose the name
|
|
under which lyx is installed. Default is "lyx", of course. It used
|
|
to be possible to do this with --program-suffix, but the later has
|
|
in fact a different meaning for autoconf.
|
|
|
|
And of course, a lot of old bugs have been replaced by new ones ;)
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in LyX version 1.1.3?
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
More LyX internals have been cleaned-up in this version, but the usual
|
|
small number of user-visible changes have appeared:
|
|
|
|
- LyX is not able anymore to read some old files using latex inset
|
|
(this should not be a problem as these were already not generated by
|
|
LyX 0.12.0). Use LyX 1.0.4 to read files containing those.
|
|
|
|
- The first line of a .lyx file does not contain anymore the file
|
|
creator name and the date of creation; this was causing various
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
- the -dbg command line switch is enhanced. For example, "-dbg lyxrc"
|
|
works now.
|
|
|
|
- Slightly better handling of dependency tracking for bibtex files.
|
|
|
|
- The screen representations of \varepsilon and \epsilon have been
|
|
swapped. Now \epsilon shows as red text, and \varepsilon shows as it
|
|
should. This is of course a controversial change (since many people
|
|
will find that their lyx workscreen is suddenly full of red), but done
|
|
for the sake of correctness.
|
|
|
|
- The characters \angle and \vee are now correctly displayed in math
|
|
formulas; the glyph for \Upsilon has been changed.
|
|
|
|
- Characters '~' and '^' are now output using standard LaTeX macros,
|
|
which improves the result with T1 fonts.
|
|
|
|
- new function "command-sequence" to bind several sequences to a key.
|
|
|
|
- The textclass g-brief has been updated.
|
|
|
|
And of course many bugs have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
What's new in LyX version 1.1.2?
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.1.2 is a minor upgrade to 1.1.1, only one new feature has been added:
|
|
|
|
- the export to html feature has been extended to use other programs.
|
|
Currently, tth, latex2html and hevea are supported. Note that the
|
|
variable \tth_command has been renamed to \html_command in lyxrc.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, a couple of semi-serious bugs have been fixed:
|
|
|
|
- a bug that caused a crash in lyxstring::find
|
|
|
|
- the annoying '-' vs. '_' bug.
|
|
|
|
Also the cheaders files were missing from the 1.1.1 distribution, that
|
|
has also been fixed.
|
|
|
|
What's new in LyX version 1.1.1?
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.1.1 marks an important change in our development scheme. While
|
|
it does not have many new features, there have been many internal
|
|
changes, many of which have been backported from our old development
|
|
branch (which is now extinct). So while on the surface this version is
|
|
very similar to version 1.0.4, many things happened under the hood. As
|
|
a consequence of this: expect that some new bugs have crept in.
|
|
|
|
User visible changes in lyx 1.1.1:
|
|
|
|
- New export to HTML feature
|
|
|
|
- All the popups should be more resistant to resize actions.
|
|
|
|
- normal spaces are automatically made unbreakable if we are in
|
|
a freespacing mode (LyX-Code), but not in latex mode. The rule used
|
|
to be that spaces where changed when in typewriter font.
|
|
|
|
- the default encoding of a new document is now latin1, since it seems
|
|
to be a reasonable default for many people. Note that you can
|
|
override this default with the "Save layout as default" feature.
|
|
|
|
What's new in 1.0.4 compared to LyX version 1.0.3?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.0.4 is mainly a bugfix update to 1.0.3, but some
|
|
new features has been included:
|
|
|
|
- DocBook support.
|
|
|
|
- RevTeX4.
|
|
|
|
- Better printing with custom pagesizes.
|
|
|
|
- Several language files updated.
|
|
|
|
- And several bugfixes to math and table.
|
|
|
|
What's new in 1.0.3 compared to LyX version 1.0.2?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.0.3 is mainly a bugfix update to 1.0.2.
|
|
|
|
- improved dependency tracking when running LaTeX (fixes one important
|
|
bug in 1.0.2).
|
|
|
|
- new italian and walloon localizations of the user interface.
|
|
|
|
- New slovene and spanish translations of the Tutorial.
|
|
|
|
What's new in 1.0.2 compared to LyX version 1.0.1?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.0.2 is a minor update to LyX 1.0.1. Besides fixing many bugs
|
|
compared to version 1.0.0, it adds the following features:
|
|
|
|
- Improved reLyX: supports EPS image inclusion and works in windows.
|
|
|
|
- New french translation of Intro.lyx and Tutorial.lyx; new german
|
|
translation of UserGuide.lyx.
|
|
|
|
- Better multipart document support.
|
|
|
|
- LyX is now able to parse your BibTex files and show a list of
|
|
entries.
|
|
|
|
- New broadway textclass (for plays).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in 1.0.1 compared to LyX version 1.0.0?
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.0.1 is a minor update to LyX 1.0.0. Besides fixing many bugs
|
|
compared to version 1.0.0, it adds the following features:
|
|
|
|
- Support for selecting pages and number of copies in print dialog
|
|
|
|
- New function 'Replace all' in Find&Replace popup
|
|
|
|
- Support for optional argument of \sqrt in math editor
|
|
|
|
- Support for literate programming with the 'noweb' program
|
|
|
|
- New LaTeX document classe: APA
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in 1.0.0 compared to LyX version 0.12.0?
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.0.0 is a stable release. Besides fixing many bugs compared to
|
|
version 0.12.0, it adds the following features:
|
|
|
|
- much improved reLyX script: many bugs have been fixed, new options
|
|
have been added, many constructs are now correctly handled. reLyX is now
|
|
installed along with LyX and has its own man page. Separate upgrades
|
|
of reLyX will be made available later. The reLyX script is utilized
|
|
by the File->Import LaTeX command in LyX.
|
|
|
|
- Much improved LinuxDoc (sgml-tools) support: multiple textclasses,
|
|
footnotes, and generally better output.
|
|
|
|
- New textclasses scrartcl, scrbook, scrreprt and scrlettr
|
|
implementing the corresponding classes of the koma-script
|
|
package. New textclasses latex8 for some IEEE journals, IEEEtran for
|
|
various IEEE Transactions journals and ejour2 for some Springer Verlag
|
|
Journals. New textclass hollywood to typeset your own film scripts.
|
|
|
|
- Better support (keyboard bindings, keyboard mappings, and/or menu
|
|
and error message translations) for several languages.
|
|
|
|
- Documentation has been partly translated to German, Swedish, and Czech. You
|
|
will get this automatically from the Help menu if you set up the LANG
|
|
environment variable correctly (i.e. to 'de' or 'sv').
|
|
|
|
- Documentation has been generally improved and expanded.
|
|
|
|
- Improved table support.
|
|
|
|
- Support for arbitrary line spacing in documents.
|
|
|
|
- easier handling of index entries.
|
|
|
|
- The printer configuration scheme has changed a bit to help people
|
|
whose dvips is not configured correctly. As a consequence, you might
|
|
have to modify your lyxrc a bit. All users are advised to re-run
|
|
Option->Reconfigure to update LyX configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that your existing global lyxrc file will not be overwritten by
|
|
default since now LyX only installs a file lyxrc.example to use as
|
|
template.
|
|
|
