This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.3.6
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 in the branch BRANCH_1_3_X, which you
can get with the command
cvs checkout -d lyx-1_3_x -r BRANCH_1_3_X lyx-devel

What's new
==========
** Updates
- 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).
- Implement new functions buffer-next and buffer-previous that allow
to cycle through open buffers; they are respectively bound to
Ctrl-PageDown and Control-PageUp (except with mac bindings, where
<cmd>-tab and <cmd>-backtab are used) [bugs 515 and 1639].
- LaTeX-type accents (which are used when converting from 7bit latex
documents or when a given accented letter does not exist in the
document encoding) are now considered as part of words; the same
holds for ligature breaks and hyphenation marks. This impacts word
level operation like selection by double-click or index entry
defaults.
- The ``annote'' field of BibTeX entries is now shown in citation preview.
- update the aastex textclass to AASTeX 5.2
- new Turkish translation.
** Bug fixes
* Document input/output:
- Fix LaTeX output of percentage length values <10% [bug 1523].
- Fix crash when reading equations containing more columns than allowed
[bug 1542].
- Make sure that the amsmath package is used in LaTeX output when
using the AMS-specific array environments and over/under arrows in
equations.
- Make sure that the wasysym package is used in LaTeX output when
using symbols from the wasy font.
- Make sure that the natbib and url packages are not loaded with
REVTeX 4, since the functionality is already provided by the class.
- Fix output of mathbb and mathcal symbols via the math panel
(xforms only) [bug 1214].
- Fix output of footnotes on the titlepage, which did not work with
the memoir class [bug 1677].
- Fix the LaTeX output of Short Titles (aka optional inset) that did
not get \protect added when needed [bug 1739].
- When reading an equation, don't parse \| following a \left or \right as |.
- Fix positionning of error insets after graphics and external insets.
- When executing generating PDF, handle properly pdfTeX warnings [bug 1824].
- Fix lyxpreview2ppm.py to work with python versions older than 2.1.
- Fix version control on files which name contains some special
characters.
- Make lib/configure more portable, allowing it to run on Solaris.
* User Interface:
- Fix crash when using math-mutate with invalid argument.
- Fix math fonts display in LyX/Mac.
- Make LyX behave normally when a file has been open from the Explorer
[Windows only].
- Fix font metrics problems with Qt/Win 3.2.1.
- Fix bindings for depth-increment/decrement for LyX/Mac.
- Do not use the -swap option when viewing a Postscript file with gv,
since newer versions do not support it. Users that see landscape
documents upside-down should select 'swap landscape' in gv options.
- Semantic improvements in the Insert>Cross reference dialog.
- When showing a preview of a bibtex entry in the Insert>Citation
Reference dialog, handle \% correctly.
- Fix display of citations when using 'et al.'
- Fix server function server-get-tip [Bug 1781]
- Fix binding of Shift-Tab, which was broken on some systems.
- Enable the display of accented characters in the Help->About dialog.
* Configuration/Installation:
- Enable XForms frontend to build with picky versions of 'make'.
- Fix link error with some compiler/os combinations [bug 1702].
- Fix link error with Cygwin.
- Fix warnings with recent versions of automake.
- Remove GNU-make specific construct in Makefile
