Previously, the format used for included pdf files was the same as for document export via ps2pdf. This caused unwanted conversion routes, e.g. export via odt->pdf instead of dvi->ps->pdf. I renamed the format for included graphics and not for exported documents, since otherwise the command line syntax for export would change. This would require more adaptions for the users, since with the chosen solution the custom converters are almost always changed correctly in prefs2prefs(), so that only custom external templates need manual adjustement.

This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.1.0, some
|
|
known problems in LyX 2.1.0 and some things you have to take into account
|
|
when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.1.x series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interface changes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Whenever the user closes a (tabbed) view on a document, either by
|
|
clicking on the tab close button, or by using the File->Close menu,
|
|
LyX now closes exclusively that specific view. If there are other
|
|
views showing the same document, they are not closed. When the user
|
|
closes the last view, LyX can be configured for either closing the
|
|
document, or keeping it into memory as a hidden document (that can be
|
|
shown again through the View->Hidden-> submenu).
|
|
|
|
A new configurable preference option has been added, allowing for either
|
|
(close_buffer_with_last_view)
|
|
|
|
There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
|
|
options have been added:
|
|
|
|
-export-to <format> <dest> (-E <format> <dest>)
|
|
|
|
Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened
|
|
to the specified destination file <dest> and format <format>.
|
|
For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run:
|
|
lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx
|
|
See the manual page for details.
|
|
This functionality is also available via a new menu voice
|
|
Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to
|
|
choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname.
|
|
Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch)
|
|
through a proper new LFUN (see below).
|
|
|
|
The Advanced Find and Replace feature now supports cancel of a long
|
|
search operation by hitting the ESC key.
|
|
|
|
The following pref variables were changed in 2.1:
|
|
|
|
- \\close_buffer_with_last_view [yes|no|ask]
|
|
When user closes the last view on a document, close the document
|
|
as well ("yes"), or hide the document ("no"), or ask the user
|
|
("ask").
|
|
|
|
The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.1:
|
|
|
|
- \\default_language
|
|
- \\default_papersize
|
|
|
|
To set the default language and paper size for new documents, use the
|
|
"Save As Document Defaults" button in Document > Settings.
|
|
|
|
The format pdf aka "PDF (ps2pdf)" was split in two formats: pdf aka
|
|
"PDF (ps2pdf)" and pdf6 aka "PDF (graphics)". pdf6 is used for PDF files
|
|
included as graphics. Custom external templates and converters might need
|
|
to be adjusted. The format split was needed since otherwise an odt->pdf
|
|
converter which is intended for included graphics only did interfere with
|
|
document export via ps2pdf.
|
|
|
|
The support for ArmTeX (a special typesetting engine for Armenian) was removed.
|
|
Writing text in Armenian is now possible in a native way using XeTeX.
|
|
|
|
The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_BRANCH_MASTER_ACTIVATE <branch>:
|
|
LFUN_BRANCH_MASTER_DEACTIVATE <branch>:
|
|
Activates or deactivates a branch in a master document from within
|
|
a child (as opposed to the existing LFUN_BRANCH_[DE]ACTIVATE, which
|
|
toggle the branch in the document itself).
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS <format> <filename>
|
|
Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above).
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_CLIPBOARD_PASTE_SIMPLE ("clipboard-paste-simple")
|
|
Paste the clipboard contents as simple unformatted text.
|
|
This is also available through a new menu voice within the
|
|
[Edit]->[Paste Special...] sub-menu.
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_VIEW_CLOSE
|
|
Close the current document view only, if there are no more views
|
|
on the document, either close or hide it (see the new preference
|
|
option \\close_buffer_with_last_view)
|
|
|
|
The following LyX functions have been removed:
|
|
|
|
//template, remove this entry later on
|
|
- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following LyX functions have been changed:
|
|
|
|
//template, remove this entry later on
|
|
- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used
|
|
to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
|
|
inset-settings for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_CLOSE_TAB_GROUP_CLOSE ("close-tab-group") was renamed to
|
|
LFUN_TAB_GROUP_CLOSE ("tab-group-close").
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_SPIT_VIEW ("split-view") was renamed to
|
|
LFUN_VIEW_SPLIT ("view-split").
|
|
|
|
- LFUN_BREAK_PARAGRAPH ("break-paragraph") was renamed to
|
|
LFUN_PARAGRAPH_BREAK ("paragraph-break").
|
|
|
|
The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
|
|
|
|
//template, remove this entry later on
|
|
- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
|
|
The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
|
|
|
|
- The binding "C-w" was moved from "buffer-close" to "view-close"
|
|
(only in cua.bind).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux desktop file specification and scalable icon has been included
|
|
into the tarball.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New external programs and libraries:
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- LyX links now against libmagic (http://www.darwinsys.com/file/) if it is
|
|
available at compile time. This improves the file format detection of
|
|
included graphics and other files. The old builtin format detection code
|
|
is used if libmagic is not available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known issues in version 2.1.0
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
|
|
where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
|
|
this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
|
|
be enough.
|
|
|
|
Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.1.x
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to improve reported scrolling slowness, we changed the way screen
|
|
painting is done. This, however, can slow down the performance on remote
|
|
X connections and we provide RC_USE_QIMAGE variable, which brings back
|
|
the old way of painting (when set to false).
