This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.4.3
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_4_X branch, which you
can get with the command
svn co svn://svn.LyX.org/LyX/LyX-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_4_X LyX-1.4.x

What's new
==========
** Updates:
- All shell scripts have been translated to python so sh.exe is no
longer needed. That's a big plus for the Windows port.
- Some small updates to the documentation.
- Updated Czech (new), Italian (bug 2774) and German (bug 2718).
localizations.
- Updated Czech (Tutorial, new splash) and German (UserGuide,
Extended) documentation.
- Add buttons for \intop and \ointop to the math panel (bug 2698)
** Bug fixes:
* Document Input/Output
- Fix a crash when importing LaTeX files with no text (bug 2667).
- Fix a crash when a used bibtex file is in a non-readable directory
(bug 2782).
- Ignore the definition of LyXgreyout environment when re-importing a
LyX-generated LaTeX file (part of bug 2420).
- When exporting to LaTeX an external inset with template XFig,
require the color package, since XFig generates LaTeX code with
\color (bug 2716).

when running LaTeX (bug 2616).
- Don't add extra braces when reading documents containing \choose,
\atop or \over (bug 2481).
- Reenable import of noweb files (bug 2289).
- Render greyed out notes correctly in output (bug 2723).
- Fix bug 2768 (inset comment/note eats space after it).
- Do not convert known spaces to ERT on LaTeX import (bug 2786).
* User Interface:
- Fix random crashes resulting of an incompatibility of the included
boost::bind library with gcc 4.1 (bug 2677, probably also 2662 and 2684).
- Fix a crash when using next-inset-toggle (Ctrl+I) inside mathed;
inset locking in mathed generally work (bug 2756).
- Fix a crash on save (including dataloss) when the backup directory
creation failed or the directory is not writeable(bug 2740).
- Fix a crash when selecting several cells in a tabular (bug 2630).
- Fix a crash when searching for an inset and none is present.
- Fix lockup when accepting a change in a text inset (bug 2510).
- Fix a crash when undoing super/subscript deletion (bug 2727).
- Fix a crash when the cursor is in an empty script and the user
clicks in the text.
- Handle properly script insets which the nucleus has more than
one element (like {a'}^{2}).
- On pressing button 2 in a math inset, paste the inner LyX selection
if it exists (bug 2779).
- Fix the disabling of some toolbar icons after closing a dialog (bug 2423).
- Fix the editing of a document while Error List dialog is open (bug 2179).
- Improve the position of the cursor after undo.
- Update labels on screen when changing language.
- Fix doubling of initial character when correcting a word with
ligatures in spellechecker (bug 2068).
- Show an error box when failing to update the TeX Information dalog data.
- Fix an unexpected font change on maximize (bug 2664).
- Handle the Meta keyboard modifier as Alt (Qt only).
- Fix the C-x C-b binding in emacs mode (bug 2747).
- Fix a crash when a non-template file is selected in the
"New from Template" dialog (bug 2404).
- The LaTeX log file can now also be viewed if the path of the temporary
directory contains spaces (bug 2687)
- Graphics files with ' in the name can now be previewed (bug 2637)
* Build/installation:
- Fix the 'check' make target for systems which do not have
/bin/bash (bug 2524).
- Set CPPFLAGS only if it not already set by the user
(and ignore CXXFLAGS when setting CPPFLAGS).
- Handle properly gcc 4.1 in configure.
- Install python files together with precompiled versions.
- A scons build system is added, for details please see INSTALL.scons.
- LyX can be compiled with MSVC using qt3 from the Q../Free project and scons.
- 'scons install' now produces a cygwin-compatible binary package under cygwin.
* Miscellaneous
- Display LaTeX package checking results faster during configuration.
- Log the output of configure.py to a log file configure.log.
- Do automatic reconfiguration even when running in batch mode (bug 2741).
- Change the encoding of some python scripts from iso-8859-15 to
iso-8859-1. The former causes problems with embedded python.
- remove outdated development tools & outdated LyXConfig.LyX.
- remove all references to reLyX which has been replaced by tex2LyX.
- fix image paths in german userguide (bug 2660)
