insets. Up until now this has not been 100% correct, especially in the case of RTL languages (but not only those). This fixes bug 1820 (http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1820) git-svn-id: svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk@19150 a592a061-630c-0410-9148-cb99ea01b6c8

This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 1.5.0 and
|
|
also some known problems in LyX 1.5.0 that did not occur in
|
|
1.4.5. Note that fixes are available for many of these, but they have
|
|
not yet been applied because of incomplete testing.

Interface changes

Some of the LyX functions have changed names :

Known issues with version 1.5.0
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- User layout files must be converted to UTF-8
|
|
|
|
In previous version, layout styles were allowed to use non-ASCII names
|
|
using the local encodings. LyX-1.5 now assumes that all layout files are
|
|
UTF-8 encoded. This means that non-ASCII style names are still allowed
|
|
but they nust be valid UTF-8 strings. One way of doing the conversion
|
|
is to use iconv. Using bash, the script below should work:
|
|
|
|
cd /path/to/layouts
|
|
for l in *
|
|
do
|
|
cp $l tmp.txt
|
|
iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 tmp.txt -o $l
|
|
done
|
|
rm tmp.txt

|
- Cursor restoration problems with Multiple-View
|
|
|
|
When using multiple Windows to edit different parts of the
|
|
same document, the cursor position is sometimes not correctly restored
|
|
when you switch from one view to the other.
|
|
|
|
- Languages/encodings and insets
|
|
|
|
One of the bugs fixed in LyX 1.5.0 is that previously, there were certain
|
|
specific cases in which the LaTeX generated did not correctly reflect
|
|
language/encoding transitions in and around insets (footnotes, LyX notes).
|
|
After much deliberation, it was decided not to change older files such that
|
|
they will still reflect the old LaTeX output; rather, they will now correctly
|
|
reflect the situation as it appears in the GUI. This means, however, that if
|
|
you mangled the text in the GUI in the older versions, in order that it
|
|
generate the correct LaTeX output, the LaTeX will now generate the mangled
|
|
text. If this is problematic for you, please get in touch with us on the
|
|
developers mailing list, we do have some possible solutions for this.
|
|
|
|
The effects of this will be more pronounced for RTL (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi)
|
|
users --- though they affect users of other languages as well.
