This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.6.2
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_6_X branch, which you
can get with the command
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X lyx-1.6.x

"Doe, John".
* WINDOWS INSTALLER
* BUILD
** Bug fixes:
*************
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Fix the reversion of floating wrap floats to LyX 1.5.x (bug 5618).
- Make the PDF output of change tracking markup more robust by using the
ulem package for struck out text instead of the package soul
(fixes bug 5480, 5647 and the remainders of bug 5091).
- Fix hanging module.
- Pass graphics driver to the geometry package (bug 5613).
- Fix LaTeX error with custom margins and the revtex4 class (bug 3838).
- siamltex class: do not load amsthm package, since the SIAM class
provides its own theorem-like environments.
- Fix LaTeX export when using unicode symbols in math only in child
documents (bug 5665).
- Fix bug when coloring section headings in RevTeX4 documents (bug 4625).
- Fix bug that telephone number and location didn't appear in the output
of letters (bug 5684).
- Fix a LaTeX export error that prevents the inclusion of two program
listings that differ only by file extension (bug 5681).
- Fix hyphenation and punctuation rules for Mexican Spanish (bug 4736).
- For CJK documents using utf8 encoding, load the CJKutf8 package, if
available (part of bug 5386).
* USER INTERFACE
- Fix crash when no file is open and the creation of a new document fails.
- Ignore the master_buffer setting in Document>Settings if the current
document is no real child. This fixes a crash when using the outliner
in such files (bug 5653).
- Set a proper file filter in the file dialog for inserting plain text.
This fixes a crash when attempting to insert plain text (bug 5671).
- Speed up editing when the document contains paragraphs with many (>1000)
insets (bug 4443).
- Set buffer status to changed and record UNDO after modifying insets such
as pagebreaks or citations via context menu.
- Fix on-screen layout of wrap floats.
- Improve debug output when tracing what actions are triggered.
- A re-declaration of an InsetLayout will now update the existing
declaration rather than completely over-writing it---agreeing with the
behavior of our normal Style declarations.
- Reflect external material template using Instant Preview in the dialog
for scaling property (bug 5628).
- Enable "dissolve" item in context menus of collapsable insets (bug 4985).
