1 What's new in version 1.4.0?
2 ----------------------------
4 A long time since 1.3.0 now and a lot has happened. Alsmost the whole
5 core of LyX has been rewritten.
7 What's new in version 1.3.0?
8 ----------------------------
10 As with the previous major version 1.2.0, many things make this new
11 release an exciting one. One of the major projects that has been going
12 on behind the scenes is the so-called GUI-independence project. We are
13 glad to announce that version 1.3.0 shows the first results of this.
14 LyX now comes in two flavours: Qt-LyX and xforms-LyX!
16 Although this is the most visible change in version 1.3, this should not
17 hide the fact that the `under the hood' changes to the code have again
18 been very important. A detailed list can be found below.
22 This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports
23 either Qt 2.x or 3.x and is mostly feature complete. Note that some
24 of the dialogs are slightly different in design, but are generally
25 functionally equivalent.
27 Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
28 latex-xft-fonts package at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib to get maths
29 symbols displayed properly.
33 The advent of the Qt frontend does not mean that the historical xforms
34 frontend is dead. Actually, it is still the one which is the best
35 implemented, because we have had more time to polish it. In this release,
36 most of the dialogs have been redesigned to be tighter.
38 Note also that the xforms library has been very recently updated to
39 version 1.0. This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser
40 General Public License), and the availability of the source means that
41 many bugs that have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You
42 are advised to upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes.
43 In fact, LyX 1.3.0 no longer supports versions of xforms older than 0.89.5.
45 In most cases the dialogs have been designed to make it impossible to input
46 invalid parameters. The exception to this rule is the input of length data.
47 Power LaTeX users can still input obtuse "glue lengths", but the widgets are
48 highlighted in red if this input is invalid or incomplete. This visual
49 feedback makes it easy to see why LyX won't allow you to Apply your changes.
53 Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly
54 stopped recently and we have therefore chosen to disable it. We
55 strongly invite anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the
60 preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows "instant previews"
61 of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual rendering of the
62 LaTeX in the document. Its project home page can be found at
63 http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex. With the help of David
64 Kastrup, the author, LyX 1.3.0 can harness this functionality to
65 allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and
66 figures. This feature can be immensely useful, ensuring that the
67 rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The
68 preview is only displayed (if enabled) when you're not editing the
69 actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too.
73 There have been a few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the
74 visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of
75 a formula, showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the
76 formula itself and revealing the names of the nesting levels in the
77 minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy
78 package containing e.g. the zodiac symbols. New also is the internal
79 structure of font changes which are now proper "insets", just like
80 anything else from a square root to an array. This not only simplifies
81 the code greatly but also allows the same editing tricks as for the
82 "regular" math. However, it was not possible to tweak the visible
83 behaviour to mimic 1.2 in all cases, so this might take some time to
84 get accustomed to. On the pro side, the new structure allowed
85 support for LaTeX's \mbox and \fbox to be implemented and general
86 "switching back to text mode within math", so a lot of "evil red text"
87 trickery is not needed anymore. The most visible changes are the following:
89 - Pressing { and } will insert LaTeX's \{ and \} which show up as { }
90 in the printout. To get LaTeX's {} nesting, you need to type \{.
92 - Fonts changes now really nest. Repeated application of a font change
93 will result in nested font changes! To remove a font change without
94 removing the "contents", it is now possible to "pull the argument"
95 like in other insets, i.e. put the cursor in the first position of
96 the inset and press 'backspace'.
100 LyX now has a new script lyx2lyx which enables the reading of any file
101 produced by LyX versions as old as 0.12. Work is in progress on files
102 created with LyX 0.10 (LyX 1.4 time-line) and still older files are
103 in the forge. Basically if lyx wrote it LyX will read it. :-)
105 There is also a strong demand to be able to read files produced by
106 _newer_ versions of LyX. While lyx2lyx has the infrastructure in place
107 to do such things, the filters to `downgrade' LyX files (from 1.3.0 to
108 1.2.x, for example) have not yet been written.
110 ** Miscellaneous changes
112 - LyX now automatically uses TeX fonts for screen rendering of math
113 equations if they are available (it is not necessary anymore to
114 configure your font server).
116 - The Insert>Short Title allows the addition of an optional text
117 for section headings and captions that is designed to be used in
120 - The Insert>Float>Floatflt Figure menu item restores the ability
121 to wrap text around an image which was present in 1.1.6 and
124 - If you configure with --with-pspell (which uses the PSpell library for
125 spellchecking), you will be able to automatically spell-check
126 multi-language documents, assuming you have the right dictionaries
130 What's new in version 1.2.3?
131 ----------------------------
133 LyX 1.2.3 is a maintenance release. It mainly fixes a very bad bug
134 where configuring LyX as root could lead to deleting the /dev/null
135 special device (this does not impact users of prebuilt binaries).
136 Also, a bug where LyX would create zombie processes has been fixed.
140 - updated italian User Guide
142 - updated french localization
145 What's new in version 1.2.2?
146 ----------------------------
148 LyX 1.2.2 is a maintenance release. It is a recommended upgrade from
149 1.2.0 or 1.2.1, especially since it fixes a few bugs introduced in
154 - LyX builds with the newly released xforms 1.0. Actually, it is
155 advised to use this version of xforms, since it fixes many bugs and
156 support for older versions will probably be dropped in LyX 1.3.0
158 - selecting a word by double clicking now sets the X clipboard (like
159 when dragging the mouse)
161 - it is now possible to specify the arguments for viewers; in
162 particular, this means that it is possible to use browsers which
163 require a file: URL as HTML viewers (mozilla is used as default if
166 - when a new LyX version is launched, the Edit>Reconfigure tool is
167 automatically invoked; this should avoid many problems with users
168 who are not aware that it is needed
170 - when changing the current layout with the toolbar, the corresponding
171 keyboard binding is shown in the minibuffer
173 - in hebrew language, the key " now inserts a typewriter quote (since
174 other quotes do not make sense in hebrew)
176 - Insert>Lists & TOC>Bibtex Reference uses style 'plain' by default
178 - new class ijmpd; update cl2emult, llncs and foils textclasses
180 - update sciword bindings
182 - small cleanup of UserGuide and FAQ; update to German, French and
183 Russian documentation; new Hebrew tutorial
185 - update french, german, russian, finnish and danish localization of
189 What's new in version 1.2.1?
190 ----------------------------
192 LyX 1.2.1 is a maintenance release which fixes many bugs in version
193 1.2.0. We hope in this way to enhance world happiness, allowing the
194 developers to continue busily to prepare the next major release
195 1.3.0. There are a lot of fixes in there, and upgrading is highly
200 - it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0
201 when this gets released)
203 - partial rewrite of the find & replace feature. This should solve most of
204 the performance problems
206 - new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog
208 - revert to the old behaviour when creating new floats (figure,
209 table...): the empty paragraph in the float now is a caption. It
210 seems that 1.2.0 behaviour was confusing too many people
212 - it is now possible to set the float placement parameters to
215 - when the cursor is inside a collapsible inset, `Edit>Open/close
216 float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should
217 help entering of ERT insets)
219 - update Finnish, Danish, French and Russian localizations
221 - update Tutorial to 1.2.x features
223 - better support for entering Cyrillic and Greek alphabets
225 - cleanup shortcuts for section layouts. Starred versions are now
226 obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ...,
229 - add keyboard shortcuts to the Documents menu
231 - support the numpad direction keys as equivalent to normal cursor
234 - it is now possible to specify a non-existent file name on the command
235 line and have this file created for you
237 - new class cl2emult; update template for IEEEtran; small update to
238 heb-article and hollywood textclasses
241 What's new in version 1.2.0?
242 ----------------------------
244 LyX 1.2.0 is the version where many of changes in the 1.1.x series
245 really begin to pay off. It should prove to be a very solid base for
246 further developments. As of this version, we use (yet another) new
247 versioning scheme: next major version will be 1.3.0, and 1.2.x will
248 be just incremental fixes (like the `fix' series used to be for 1.1.5
251 This version sees the introduction of the so-called `new' insets,
252 which can contain arbitrary text. As a consequence, many new features
255 - Floats, footnotes and margin notes are now real insets. The
256 positional parameters of figure, table and algorithm floats can be set
259 - Most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been addressed
260 (memory consumption, file bloat, spell-checking, search and replace...).
261 Better longtable header/footer support was implemented.
263 - TeX mode has been superseded by the ERT inset, which is foldable, or
266 - Notes inset can now contain arbitrary LyX constructs; they will not
267 appear in the output.
271 Note that another consequence of these changes is that older LyX
272 versions will almost certainly fail to read files produced by LyX
276 Other more traditional insets have been improved too:
278 - New graphics inset with support for hassle-free inclusion of various
279 image formats (GIF, JPEG, PNG and EPS by default) and a new
280 rendering scheme that should fix the bugs we had with the older
283 - Support for natbib for bibliography citations
287 The math editor has been mostly rewritten. This begun as a general
288 cleanup, but it turns out that many new features happened in this
289 process, among which:
291 - many of the known bugs or annoyances in mathed have been fixed.
293 - possibility to display all standard latex and amsmath symbols (and
294 also the \mathcal, \mathbb, and \mathfrak fonts)as long as the
295 relevant fonts have been made available to the X server
297 - support for many amsmath features
298 Commands: xrightarrow, xleftarrow, substack, underset, dddot
299 over/under arrows (e.g. underleftarrow).
300 Environments: align, alignat, xalignat, xxalignat, multline, gather
301 split, gathered, aligned, cases, subarray, pmatrix, bmatrix, vmatrix,
304 - Preliminary support for xymatrix
306 - Support for horizontal and vertical lines in arrays.
308 - Improvements to the parser
310 - Improvements to math text mode
312 - (Better) support for nested macros
314 - Enable size changes to arrays after creation (add/delete rows/columns)
316 - Support for changing font or displaystyle on a selection
318 - GUI support provided for many more features
321 Other changes include:
323 - Support for windows with cygwin has been incorporated into the main
326 - Most of the dialogs have been rewritten in the GUI-I framework, and
327 improved in the process
329 - The kde frontend has been dropped in favor of a new qt2 frontend.
330 Note that only the xforms front is really operational as of this
331 version and alternative frontends are expected for 1.3.0
333 - The citation dialog has a search facility, with support for regular
336 - New ligature break special character, useful for words like
337 "shelfful", or many german words
339 - Support for parsing preamble when converting LaTeX files. Along
340 with changes in the LaTeX production of alignment options, this
341 improves round-trip work where you export a LyX document as
342 LaTeX, and later reimport it from LaTeX.
344 - Updated documentation
346 - a few more document classes for journals: dtk, ltugboat, spie and
349 - Support for setting bookmarks and jumping to them
351 - It is possible to cycle between a label and its references.
353 - Preliminary support for multiple bibliographies
355 - Babel can be disabled
357 - A thesaurus facility (English only)
359 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix4?
360 ------------------------------------
362 LyX 1.1.6fix4 is a bugfix release.
366 - add support for latin3, latin4 and latin9 encodings
368 - change the encoding for estonian from latin4 to latin1, since it
369 appears to be more suitable.
371 - add support for ae fonts (emulation of T1 encoding with OT1 fonts).
372 This is useful for creating pdf files in T1 encoding
374 - add support for dvipdfm
376 - when passing a file name as argument from command line, the
377 extension `.lyx' is added if necessary
379 - insert error insets in the documents when there have been unknown
382 - new class `kluwer'; update to hollywood class
384 - the class encts has been renamed to entcs (stupid typo!) and
387 - updates to the introduction document and the italian user guide
389 - updates to the russian, finnish and hebrew localisations
392 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix3?
393 ------------------------------------
395 LyX 1.1.6fix3 is a bugfix release.
399 - documentation has been updated to remove errors due to interface
402 - new italian user guide; updated french localisation of menus and
403 documentation; new dutch translations of some examples
405 - the `history' and `revert' functionalities have been implemented in CVS
408 - it is now possible to enter directly characters in an encoding
409 different from latin1 (providing one is using a correct screen font)
411 - new encts class for Elsevier Science's Electronic Notes in
412 Theoretical Computer Science
414 - new cv class for writing curriculum vitae
416 - new extarticle, extreport, extbook and extletter classes, which are
417 versions of the normal classes with more font sizes available
419 - the aapaper class has been complemented with a aa class for the A&A
420 LaTeX document class version 5.0, which is slightly incompatible
421 with the older version
424 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix2?
425 ------------------------------------
427 LyX 1.1.6fix2 is a bugfix release.
431 - add language support in docbook; better support for verbatim text.
433 - the --with-lyx-suffix flag introduced in 1.1.6fix1 has been renamed
434 to --with-version-suffix; it can now be used without argument (to
435 install as lyx-1.1.6fix2)
437 - many translations updated; big french documentation overhaul; german
438 documentation update.
440 - preliminary Thai support; new serbo-croatian support
443 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix1?
444 ------------------------------------
446 LyX 1.1.6fix1 is a bugfix release.
450 - updated documentation for version 1.1.6; new french documentation
451 translations; updated danish translation of the interface.
453 - better support for ukrainian language
455 - non working --with-lyxname configure option has been replaced by
456 working --with-lyx-suffix.
458 - in default cua bindings, change C-k from font-noun to
461 - Add the prefix "key-" to the default keys for bibliography insets.
463 - Show both key and label of a bibliography inset.
466 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6?
467 --------------------------------
469 As with all of the 1.1.x versions of LyX, this release contains a lot
470 of new code: in particular, more than half of the changes described in
471 the ChangeLog (which dates back to the 1.1.0 release) concern LyX 1.1.6!
473 Besides the usual under-the-hood changes, LyX 1.1.6 has many
474 new user-visible features. The main visible feature is that the
475 GUI-independent branch of development has been merged, as well as code
476 from the older development version:
478 - many popups have been rewritten to use the new GUI-I scheme. In the
479 process they have received a nice cleanup: the Document and Paragraph
480 popups now contain in one single place what was previously scattered
481 in many places. Similarly, the citation and cross reference popups
482 have been overhauled.
484 - LyX now has a Preference popup where you can change most of your
487 - the menus can now be defined in a text file, and they automatically
488 display the keyboard bindings associated with commands.
490 - it is now possible to provide your own icons for the toolbar.
492 - last but not least, work has begun on a KDE and a Gnome frontend for
493 LyX. They are not officially supported for this version, but this
494 will give you an idea of what is happening.
496 Other major changes in 1.1.6 include:
498 - the table support has been completely rewritten. It is now a modular
499 object (inset), each cell of which owns a (also) newly written text
500 inset. This now permits automatic text-wrap inside a tabular
501 cell (if you define a width), multiparagraph mode AND setting of
502 layouts for the paragraphs (lists inside a tabular cell!). Last but
503 not least, a wide tabular now scrolls automatically so that all of it
504 is visible without the need to enlarge the window!
506 While there are as yet no other new features, they will be now MUCH
507 easier to add. It may be that because of being "young" code some
508 features may not work right now, but at least it is much
511 - new external material inset: this is a new kind of very powerful
512 inset which will allow LyX to interface intelligently with external
513 applications. Among other good things, it will finally allow you to
514 include GIF, JPEG, TIF, PNG, or just about any other raster format
515 images in your document. It will even do an approximate ascii
516 rendering when you do Ascii export if you have gifscii installed.
518 - The code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for
519 viewing or exporting purposes) and from anything else to LyX has been
520 rewritten. In particular, it is now possible to export to PDF, and to
521 import from HTML/MSWord. In fact it's now possible to add new import/export
522 formats without recompiling LyX by specifying external programs or scripts
524 (note that the old import/export lyxrc settings no longer work).
526 - LyX can do command line exports without opening any GUI components.
528 - The multilingual support has been improved. It is now possible to use in a
529 document languages with different encodings, e.g. German (iso8859-1) and
530 Czech (iso8859-2). Such a document can be viewed on screen using an
531 iso10646-1 (Unicode) font. However, it is (currently) not possible to
532 have differently encoded languages in the same paragraph.
533 The languages and the encodings are defined in text files.
535 - Improved support for Hebrew and Arabic (also present in 1.1.5fix2).
537 - included files work now with docbook and linuxdoc; new layout
540 - PSpell library and Aspell spell checker support now included thanks
541 largely to Kevin Atkinson (PSpell and Aspell maintainer).
543 And finally, there have been a lot of smaller changes, which are
544 mentioned here for your information
546 - the menu entry File->New does not prompt for a file name by default
547 (this can be changed in preferences).
549 - new -geometry command line option, which replaces the old -width,
554 What's new in LyX version 1.1.5?
555 --------------------------------
557 Lots of internal code rewritten, fixed, changed and added.
558 We are using the C++ Standard Library more each day.
559 This will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain
561 We are also gearing up for the merge of the gui-indep branch, expect
562 this (but not the new gui's) in 1.1.6.
564 User-visible changes:
566 - Paste to other programs (like emacs or xterm). Note: text only.
568 - New TOC menu item for fast access to the table of contents.
570 - New Refs menu item for quick insertion of cross-references.
572 - multilingual documents (preliminary support)
574 - Right-to-Left support for Hebrew and Arabic, this is a first attempt
575 only and is likely to improve in future versions.
577 - Per-paragraph spacing, currently only settable from the
579 paragraph-spacing (default,single,onehalf,double,other) [float]
581 - New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the !
582 in the margin for margin notes has been removed).
584 - End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense.
586 - labels are now editable (not in equations, though).
588 - Much faster spellchecking (50x faster!).
590 - The parsing of the LaTex log has improved flagging more errors that
591 earlier versions of LyX did not see at all. So if you suddenly have
592 errors in documents that used to have none, this might be the casue.
593 (And you probably had the error always.)
595 - Better definition for LyXList style.
597 - hollywood.layout and broadway.layout have improved. New classes
598 LLNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), svjog (Journal of Geodesy)
600 - support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support)
602 - A couple of changes to the LyX format, so that files written with
603 1.1.5 will not be parsed correctly by older LyX versions if protected
604 spaces or the new per-paragraph spacing are used. Also the RtL
605 support is of course not supported in older versions.
607 - Removed support for XForms older than 0.88.
609 - Some command-line options and X resources are not supported anymore
610 (The color ones, and -mono -fastselection, -reverse)
612 - New command-line options '-userdir' which so that you can choose to
613 use another dir than .lyx for user configurations. (Or have many.)
615 - new lyxrc variables: \show_banner [true|false] to remove the banner
616 screen, \backupdir_path to tell where the backup files created
617 by lyx should be stored, and \override_x_deadkeys to tell whether
618 lyx should provide its own accent keys handling (default is true).
621 What's new in LyX version 1.1.4?
622 --------------------------------
624 More internals have been rethought. In particular, most of the file IO
625 routines of LyX have been rewritten to use real C++ streams. Many
626 changes have also been done to help compile LyX with Sun CC 5.0 and
629 In the user-visible department, we find:
631 - new command line option -x (or --execute) and -e (or --export). Now
632 direct conversion from .lyx to .tex (.dvi, .ps, ...) is possible
633 ('lyx file.lyx --export latex') Unfortunately, X is still needed and
634 the GUI pops up during the process...
636 - better placement of accents for characters that LyX draws by itself;
638 - improved translations, in particular in Finnish (overhauled UI
639 translation), Dutch (tutorial and examples), German
641 - new configure flag --with-lyxname which allows to choose the name
642 under which lyx is installed. Default is "lyx", of course. It used
643 to be possible to do this with --program-suffix, but the later has
644 in fact a different meaning for autoconf.
646 And of course, a lot of old bugs have been replaced by new ones ;)
649 What's new in LyX version 1.1.3?
650 --------------------------------
652 More LyX internals have been cleaned-up in this version, but the usual
653 small number of user-visible changes have appeared:
655 - LyX is not able anymore to read some old files using latex inset
656 (this should not be a problem as these were already not generated by
657 LyX 0.12.0). Use LyX 1.0.4 to read files containing those.
659 - The first line of a .lyx file does not contain anymore the file
660 creator name and the date of creation; this was causing various
663 - the -dbg command line switch is enhanced. For example, "-dbg lyxrc"
666 - Slightly better handling of dependency tracking for bibtex files.
668 - The screen representations of \varepsilon and \epsilon have been
669 swapped. Now \epsilon shows as red text, and \varepsilon shows as it
670 should. This is of course a controversial change (since many people
671 will find that their lyx workscreen is suddenly full of red), but done
672 for the sake of correctness.
674 - The characters \angle and \vee are now correctly displayed in math
675 formulas; the glyph for \Upsilon has been changed.
677 - Characters '~' and '^' are now output using standard LaTeX macros,
678 which improves the result with T1 fonts.
680 - new function "command-sequence" to bind several sequences to a key.
682 - The textclass g-brief has been updated.
684 And of course many bugs have been fixed.
686 What's new in LyX version 1.1.2?
687 --------------------------------
689 LyX 1.1.2 is a minor upgrade to 1.1.1, only one new feature has been added:
691 - the export to html feature has been extended to use other programs.
692 Currently, tth, latex2html and hevea are supported. Note that the
693 variable \tth_command has been renamed to \html_command in lyxrc.
695 Moreover, a couple of semi-serious bugs have been fixed:
697 - a bug that caused a crash in lyxstring::find
699 - the annoying '-' vs. '_' bug.
701 Also the cheaders files were missing from the 1.1.1 distribution, that
704 What's new in LyX version 1.1.1?
705 --------------------------------
707 LyX 1.1.1 marks an important change in our development scheme. While
708 it does not have many new features, there have been many internal
709 changes, many of which have been backported from our old development
710 branch (which is now extinct). So while on the surface this version is
711 very similar to version 1.0.4, many things happened under the hood. As
712 a consequence of this: expect that some new bugs have crept in.
714 User visible changes in lyx 1.1.1:
716 - New export to HTML feature
718 - All the popups should be more resistant to resize actions.
720 - normal spaces are automatically made unbreakable if we are in
721 a freespacing mode (LyX-Code), but not in latex mode. The rule used
722 to be that spaces where changed when in typewriter font.
724 - the default encoding of a new document is now latin1, since it seems
725 to be a reasonable default for many people. Note that you can
726 override this default with the "Save layout as default" feature.
