1 What's new in version 2.0.0?
2 -------------------------------
4 The new features in LyX 2.0 are detailed in
5 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20
8 What's new in version 1.6.5?
9 -----------------------------
11 The release comes with many fixes and improvements. A number of newly
12 reported crashes were fixed, new layouts and modules were included and
13 some long-standing requests were implemented (e.g., a working LyX
14 server on the Windows OS, finally enabling the communication with other
15 applications such as JabRef on this platform as well).
18 What's new in version 1.6.4.2?
19 -------------------------------
21 The upgrade fixes recurring pseudo-crashes when running LyX on
22 Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
25 What's new in version 1.6.4.1?
26 -------------------------------
28 The only change over release 1.6.4 is the fix of a regression on the Mac,
29 which made some dialogs (such as Preferences and About LyX) unaccessible
30 via the menu. Other platforms than the Mac were not affected by the issue.
33 What's new in version 1.6.4?
34 -------------------------------
36 This is the fourth maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. This release
37 covers, amongst many minor improvements, fixes to some rather severe
40 * A workaround to a nasty problem in recent Qt versions (Qt 4.5.0 up to
41 4.5.2) that made LyX crash if the document included images that were
42 scaled to certain sizes in the work area.
43 * Fixes to problems that might result in the loss of data.
44 * Many other stability improvements, thanks to a new debugging script that
45 helped to reveal uncovered critical bugs.
46 * Further fixes to the LaTeX importer (tex2lyx) and the conversion of
47 older LyX documents (lyx2lyx).
50 What's new in version 1.6.3?
51 -------------------------------
53 This is the third maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. Besides the usual
54 improvements of stability, the highlights of this release are:
56 * tex2lyx is now able to read files in all latex supported encodings and
57 transform them into the proper unicode-based format introduced in 1.5.0.
58 This paves the way for many other improvements in LaTeX->LyX translation
59 * The performance problems when editing a master with child documents have
61 * LyX 1.6.3 introduces some goodies provided by Qt 4.5 (menu support for
62 fullscreen mode in linux, close button on tabs). Of course these
63 improvements (as well as some Qt-related fixes) only show up if LyX is
64 compiled against Qt 4.5.
67 What's new in version 1.6.2?
68 -------------------------------
70 This is the second maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. The release
71 fixes a large number of major and critical bugs that were reported by
72 users of LyX 1.6.0 and 1.6.1. Most notably, three bugs that might lead to
73 dataloss were detected and resolved. Furthermore, a number of crashes,
74 file conversion and LaTeX output problems are fixed. As a bonus, the
75 performance of the application has been improved, and the release also
76 introduces some new features and user interface improvements.
79 What's new in version 1.6.1?
80 -------------------------------
82 This is the first maintenance release in the brand-new 1.6.x series, and
83 as such, it mainly focuses on bug fixes. We have ironed out some major
84 problems that slipped into the application in the wake of the new
88 What's new in version 1.6.0?
89 -------------------------------
91 The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
92 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16
95 What's new in version 1.5.7?
96 ----------------------------
98 This is the sixth maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle and it is
99 expected to be the final release in this series, since a new series of
100 stable releases has just been introduced by our new major release,
101 LyX 1.6.0. Besides the obligatory bug fixes, the main feature of this
102 release is the ability to read files created by LyX 1.6.0 (this feature
103 requires python 2.3.4 or newer).
106 What's new in version 1.5.6?
107 ----------------------------
109 This is the fifth maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle that has been
110 started exactly one year ago. The aim of this release was to make LyX
111 even more robust and to solve some long-standing annoyances. Also,
112 further translation efforts have been made, and LyX now ships in 23
115 What's new in version 1.5.5?
116 ----------------------------
118 This release further improves the stability and usability of the
119 application. Besides this, it also introduces some new features. Most
120 notably, LyX is now prepared to be compiled with Qt 4.4 that has just
121 been released: the stability issues that occured in previous versions
122 of LyX when compiled against Qt 4.4 have been resolved.
125 What's new in version 1.5.4?
126 ----------------------------
128 This is a maintenance release. Besides the usual stability
129 improvements and fixes, this release comes with major improvements in
130 the handling of Chinese, Korean and Japanese (CJK) languages and
131 scripts, and introduces some minor new features (such as a character
134 While this release continues the stable 1.5.x series, work on the next
135 major release, 1.6.0, is proceeding. A first alpha version of LyX
136 1.6.0 will be released later this week for those who like the bleeding
137 edge experience. Notwithstanding this, expect one or two more 1.5.x
138 versions to be released, of which the last one will be able to read
141 All users, especially CJK users, are encouraged to upgrade to this
142 version. Caveat: We were forced to switch from the LaTeX package
143 'floatflt' to 'wrapfig' for wrap figure floats due to a license
144 problem that limited the availability of the former package. In
145 general, this should improve your documents containing wrap figures,
146 however, it is possible that the look and positioning of the floats
147 changes due to the package change. If you have documents with wrap
148 floats, please make a backup before upgrading and check the output.
151 What's new in version 1.5.3?
152 ----------------------------
154 This is a maintenance release that further improves the stability and
155 the performance. Besides numerous crashes, the display problems that
156 slipped into 1.5.2 with the performance fixes (on the Mac and on
157 Windows) as well as problems entailed to the reworked document classes
158 were fixed. Furthermore, LyX 1.5.3 comes with speed improvements that
159 should pay off especially on the Mac and other UNIXes. Finally, this
160 version also provides some new features.
163 What's new in version 1.5.2?
164 ----------------------------
166 This is a maintenance release that focuses on improving the
167 stability. We have fixed numerous crashes, performance problems, and
168 other bugs. Furthermore, the documentation has been revised. It covers
169 all new features of the 1.5.x series now.
172 What's new in version 1.5.1?
173 ----------------------------
175 We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.1. It includes a few
176 bug fixes and, more importantly, fixes a bug where files produced with
177 the Document>Compressed option on would be malformed on windows. It
178 was therefore decided to revert to the trusty 1.4.x code in this area
179 and release 1.5.1 sooner than anticipated.
181 All 1.5.0 users are urged to upgrade to 1.5.1.
184 What's new in version 1.5.0?
185 ----------------------------
187 As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
188 visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
189 some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
193 LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew
194 of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic
195 languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to
196 encodings currently available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8
197 encoding or a brand new typesetting system such as XeTeX.
198 Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some
199 areas still need a cleanup it, is very likely that some bugs related to
200 the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known
201 bugs on the LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related
202 to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel
205 * Integrated CJK support
207 The very first result of the Unicode transition is that we have finally
208 merged in the externally maintained CJK-LyX branch.
209 The languages Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are now supported in
211 Note that setting the encoding for these languages in LyX 1.5 by
212 using ERT or the document preamble will lead to LaTeX-errors!
213 Also note that you may need to run qtconfig and set appropriate default
214 or substitution fonts to display CJK characters under some circumstances.
218 In addition to the CJK languages, the languages Armenian and Farsi also
219 have full user interface support.
221 * Multiple views of the same buffer
223 LyX can now display multiple views of the same buffer. I.e., you can
224 now open a single document in multiple windows and work on different
225 parts of it synchronously.
227 * Outliner and embedded TOC
229 LyX has another long-awaited feature: a basic outliner mode, in which
230 you can move chapters and sections around in the Table of Contents
231 dialog. (The outliner has been backported and was released with LyX
232 1.4.4.) The TOC dialog is now a dock widget, embedded in the main window.
236 LyX is now able to remember window size and position and it will
237 reopen the documents you worked on last time around. If you've
238 selected the feature in the Preferences dialog, it'll even move the
239 cursor to the place you were working on last! Furthermore, toolbars
240 can (finally!) be switched on/off in View->Toolbars and moved about in
241 the LyX window. The session management will remember their state.
245 As a kind of "anti-preview-latex", a dialog was implemented that lets
246 you view the source code of a given paragraph/selection or the whole
249 * New Font Selection Interface
251 LyX's font selection abilities have been one of its weakest and most
252 outdated components. A completely new interface was implemented that
253 provides access to the power of LaTeX's font selection scheme.
257 LyX's table support is certainly less powerful than that of
258 LaTeX. Support for the booktabs package has been implemented,
259 providing beautiful and elegant tabulars.
263 LyX now has native support for the nomencl package. With this,
264 you can treat your document with all sorts of nomenclatures,
265 glossaries and fancy notations.
269 LyX now uses tabbed widgets to display multiple documents.
271 * Enhanced Math Toolbars
273 The math toolbar was enhanced significantly. Drop down menus were
274 added, allowing the integration of all of the math panel's content
275 to the math toolbars.
276 Since this input method is much easier than the clumsy panel, the math
277 panel itself has been removed and superceded by the toolbars.
281 LyX 1.5 uses the Qt4 toolkit. This is especially good news for
282 Windows users, because there's an official, GPL version of Qt4. They no
283 longer have to rely on an unofficial port of the Unix Qt3 library to
284 Windows. The good old XForms frontend went the way of the dodo. It
285 was both hated and loved, and certainly shaped the unique look of LyX
286 in the past. It was finally killed off, however, by the switch to
287 unicode. The Qt3 frontend was also removed. The work on the GTK
288 frontend has been transferred to a branch because its development has
291 * Change tracking enhancements
293 Major parts of the change tracking code have been rewritten, addressing
294 several problems that existed in the previous implementation.
296 * Converter file cache
298 A cache for converted files, such as included figures, has been
299 implemented. This can speed up LyX's performance considerably when
300 displaying documents with many included figures that need conversion
301 to a format that can be rendered on screen. The converter file cache
302 is enabled by default.
304 The default maximum age of a cached file is 6 months. You can change
307 \converter_cache_maxage xxx
309 where xxx is the maximum age in seconds, in your preferences file.
311 * Unified Windows installer
313 The two windows installers are being merged and bug reports regarding
314 both installers are welcome.
318 The traditional way to insert program listings in LyX involves the use
319 of the LyX-Code style. This option works quite well for short snippets but
320 does not support in-line code segments or the inclusion of external files.
322 Using the listings latex package as the backend a new inset was added that
323 supports all these three ways of listing computer programs.
325 * LaTeX-package support
327 LyX provides the following new document classes:
328 - article(IOP) - for scientific papers published by the IOP group
329 - presentation(powerdot) - for presentations using the powerdot package
330 - curriculum vitae(Europe) - for CVs following the guidelines of the EU
331 - curriculum vitae(modern) - for CVs using the moderncv package
332 - curriculum vitae(simple) - for simple CVs
334 * Minor user interface improvements
336 Several minor improvements of the user interface have been made, such as:
338 - Syntax highlighting of the user preamble and the LaTeX log file.
339 - Better parsing of BibTeX databases (in the citation dialog).
340 - Support for optional arguments for environments.
342 * Enhanced clipboard/selection handling
344 The clipboard has been tuned to work better with other applications.
345 Parallel to clipboard usages, the *nix way of using middle-button
346 to paste selected text is enhanced, and is also available under windows
347 (but within lyx only). Selection of lyx text is now persistent in that
348 you can paste the selected text using the middle button multiple times,
349 even after the selection has been cleared.
351 * Limited support for local class and layout files
353 Lyx can not create, but can open a .lyx file with .cls and .layout files
354 stored in the same directory as the .lyx file. That is to say, if you send
355 your co-author a .lyx file with associated class and layout files, s/he
356 can view and modify the .lyx file directly, without having to install the
357 .cls and .layout files, reconfigure and restart lyx. Note that the .cls and
358 .layout files have to be copied to every directory your .lyx files reside,
359 should you use different directories for master and child documents.
363 As usual, one big task has been the ongoing code cleanup of the LyX
364 core. Performing this cleanup makes the code more understandable and
365 easier to maintain. It also leads inevitably to a more robust
366 application. Nonetheless, it's an unfortunate fact of life that ugly
367 code is sometimes faster than pretty code. We're well aware that LyX
368 1.4 is slower than LyX 1.3. One important goal of this 1.5 development
369 series has been to bring this speed back.
373 Lots of long-lasting bugs have been fixed, as documented in LyX
374 bugzilla. Probably some new ones have been introduced instead ;-)
377 What's new in version 1.4.5.1?
378 ------------------------------
380 The only change over release 1.4.5 is the addition to the distribution
381 of one file necessary to read and write lyx 1.5 files.
384 What's new in version 1.4.5?
385 ----------------------------
387 This is expected to be the last release in the 1.4.x stable
388 branch. Besides the obligatory bug fixes, its main feature is the
389 ability to read files created by LyX 1.5.0 (this feature requires
390 python 2.3.4 or later).
393 What's new in version 1.4.4?
394 ----------------------------
396 This is of course a bug fix release, but some new features sneaked in, among which:
398 *) Outline support: it is now possible to move around parts of
399 documents in the Table of Contents dialog.
401 *) Add new UI settings default-autotoolbars and default-alltoolbars
402 allowing to select what toolbars are active or shown automatically.
404 *) Improved documentation.
406 *) Speed improvements, especially on windows.
409 What's new in version 1.4.3?
410 ----------------------------
412 This is a bug fix release that improves stability and MS Windows
413 support. Notable new features include:
415 *) The windows port does not need a MSys (unix-like tools)
416 installation anymore.
418 *) A new function inset-dissolve has been added to delete an text
419 inset and put its contents in the enclosing text; this can be
420 accessed (like in the math editor) by pressing Backspace at the start
421 of an inset, or Delete at the end.
423 *) Many crashes have been fixed, in particular for systems based on
427 What's new in version 1.4.2?
428 ----------------------------
430 This is a bug fix release that improves performance, stability and native OS support. Notable new features include:
432 *) LyX now automatically uses file viewers and editors set at OS level
433 [Windows and Mac OS X only].
435 *) The windows installer has been completely rewritten.
437 *) A new function buffer-toggle-compression (and corresponding entry
438 in the Document menu) has been added to change whether the file will
439 be compressed on disk or not.
441 *) A "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format has been added. This new output
442 format produces .tex files that are suitable for pdflatex, including
443 figure conversion to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.
446 What's new in version 1.4.1?
447 ----------------------------
449 This is a bug fix release, but some of the bugs were big. In particular:
451 *) fix the huge memory consumption and corresponding sluggishness with
452 documents containing many graphics or `instant preview' snippets.
454 *) fix slow screen update with nested insets, particularly with
457 *) fix the delay when exiting from a math inset.
459 *) let the change tracking code track paragraph breaks too.
461 *) Also, this will be the first 1.4 release with a windows
462 installer. See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this
465 What's new in version 1.4.0?
466 ----------------------------
468 As usual with major releases, a lot of work that is not directly
469 visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
470 some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
472 ** Improved user interface
474 LyX 1.4 has a re-designed layout for the menus, designed to decrease
475 clutter and maximise productivity. Several menu items (in the Edit
476 menu) are now context-sensitive, so they only appear when needed. For
477 the die-hard old LyX users, the older layout (referred to as the
478 classic UI) is still available, for now.
480 It's now possible to define multiple toolbars as seen in other
481 editors. By default, the new LyX release has two toolbars displayed,
482 the standard one (similar to the static toolbar in LyX 1.3), plus the
483 extra toolbar. In addition, there are two pre-defined toolbars
484 available: one for tables, and one for math.
486 Another new feature worth mentioning is popup toolbars: you can set a
487 toolbar such that it only appears when editing math, or when editing a
492 This new feature, similar to that found in Microsoft Word and others,
493 makes collaboration on a document a cinch. It provides a way to track
494 changes made to a document, and later approve, reject, or modify such
497 ** Much better conversion from .tex to .lyx
499 The ancient and unloved Perl script, reLyX has finally bitten the dust
500 and been replaced by the brand new and shiny tex2lyx. tex2lyx's LaTeX
501 parser follows most of the rules of the real TeX and so is already
502 much more powerful than reLyX ever was.
506 For a system that purports to make it easy to write documents full of
507 logical (as opposed to visual markup), LyX has always had one glaring
508 omission: no character styles. LyX 1.4 goes some way towards
509 addressing this defect, although there's no dialog to define your own
515 The teacher who's setting an exam obviously doesn't want her pupils
516 seeing the answers, yet having questions and answers in the same
517 document will make the life of the markers of that exam much easier.
519 That's just one example of someone who would benefit from LyX's new
520 "branches" feature. In fact, anyone who writes documents which have
521 more than one target audience will find this feature useful.
523 ** Minipages evolve to Boxes
525 In 1.3, LyX only had native support for plain minipages. Now you can
526 use a wide range of box types and decorations directly from the LyX
531 LyX now has three different Notes for you to add to your document from
532 the Insert>Note menu:
534 - the "LyX Note" is not exported to LaTeX, as now. The "Comment" is
535 - exported to LaTeX as a comment environment and is not processed
537 - The Greyed Out note is visible in your PostScript or PDF output as,
538 well, greyed-out text.
540 ** Better language and numbering on screen
542 Two features help to make the screen rendering closer to the printed output:
544 - the labels attached to layouts like Chapter are now translated in
545 the language of the document, which may be different from the
546 language of the menus;
547 - sectioning headers and theorems are now numbered according to the
548 document class specifications.
552 Yes, it's finally there! Tools>Count Words will give you a word
553 count of the document or of the current selection.
557 Nasty "error boxes" were eliminated in favor of a dialog with a list
558 of errors popping up at compilation time.
560 ** Improved bibliography support
562 - LyX's support for natbib has been enhanced. Now, also the mysterious
563 "before citation" field is supported;
564 - We have added support for jurabib, an amazing package to produce
565 flexible citations that are especially well suited for the humanities
567 - Support for sectioned bibliographies (bibtopic) has been added;
568 - the way bibtex is called is now customizable (as is the way the
569 index processor is invoked).
571 ** Improved microtypography support
573 LyX aims to produce superior typography. With 1.4, it supports:
575 - more blank characters (e.g. a "thin space", which should stand here
576 between "e." and "g.");
577 - inner and outer quotation marks without the hassle of toggling the
578 style in the documents dialog. Just use the Alt key.
579 - the handling of figure and table alignment inside floats has been
580 improved. You can now use the paragraph dialog without getting too
581 much space between figure/table and caption.
585 - Figure and table floats can be rotated sideways
587 - The external xfig inset has been improved especially with regard to
590 - The graphics inset dialog has now an "edit" button that allows to
591 edit the included figure
593 - For index generation, xindy can be used instead of makeindex, which
594 has poor support for other than English index sorting.
598 Lots of long-lasting bugs have been fixed, as documented in LyX
599 bugzilla. Probably some new ones have been introduced instead ;-)
602 What's new in version 1.3.7?
603 ----------------------------
605 We hope that this will be the last release in the 1.3.x series. In
606 addition to many bug fixes, the following improvements are worth
609 - LyX 1.3.7 is able to read all LyX files up to file format 245,
610 the format that we anticipate will be used by the forthcoming LyX 1.4.0.
612 - The windows version has received some polish, in particular in the
613 installer and in the handling of file names.
615 All current 1.3.x users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
618 What's new in version 1.3.6?
619 ----------------------------
621 Unix and MacOSX users should consider this to be a bugfix release.
623 To Windows users, however, LyX 1.3.6 is the first version of LyX
624 to support the platform officially. This means that we've put a huge
625 effort into squashing those bugs that were present in Ruurd Reitsma's
626 unofficial ports to Windows. Large chunks of the code base have been
627 touched in an attempt to resolve these problems so whilst we're
628 confident that LyX/Win 1.3.6 will be the best ever version of LyX on
629 Windows, we cannot say that it's bug free.
631 We would like to highlight three fixes in particular:
632 * It is now possible to typeset files which reside in a directory with
633 spaces in its name; this requires a modern TeX implementation (such
635 * It is possible to use Ctrl-PageDown and Control-PageUp (<opt>-tab
636 and <opt><shift>-tab with LyX/Mac) to switch between the open documents.
637 * LaTeX-type accents, ligature breaks and hyphenation marks are now
638 considered as part of words
642 What's new in version 1.3.5?
643 ----------------------------
645 This is mainly a bugfix release, with few notable user-visible
646 improvements. However, we would like to highlight two fixes in particular:
647 * Nested documents (with Insert>Include File...), which have been
648 broken since LyX 1.2.0, should now work properly, including the
649 case where the files are in different directories.
650 * It is now possible to compile LyX with gcc 3.4.
652 What's new in version 1.3.4?
653 ----------------------------
655 This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.3 in
657 * It adds support for old files from LyX 0.10.x or 0.12.x;
658 * Lyx documents can now be opened and edited even if
659 they use text classes not present in your latex installation;
660 * New Qt features have been added (improved selection,
662 * Mac OS X support is much improved;
663 * The interface and documentation localization have
666 What's new in version 1.3.3?
667 ----------------------------
669 This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.2 in
671 * import of old LyX files and export to DocBook have been improved;
672 * many small bugs in the Qt frontend have been fixed;
673 * MacOSX users can now compile LyX and enjoy the native MacOSX interface;
674 * several languages now benefit from an improved translation of
675 the user interface and documentation.
677 What's new in version 1.3.2?
678 ----------------------------
680 This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.1 in
682 * the spellchecker code has been overhauled and many bugs
684 * many small bugs in the Qt frontend have been fixed;
685 * several languages now benefit from an improved translation of
688 What's new in version 1.3.1?
689 ----------------------------
691 LyX 1.3.1 is a maintenance release, which adds some polish to the new
692 features of LyX 1.3.0 (especially the Qt frontend) and also fixes some
693 significant bugs in the math editor and the lyx2lyx import script. We
694 also threw in a few new features (new textclasses, latex import
695 improvements) for good measure.
699 - when there is vertical space between paragraphs, the amount of space
700 is also indicated in the small/medium/large case [bug #814]
702 - reLyX improvements: support for natib citations, for 'm' column
703 descriptors in tables; a .lyx file generated by reLyX now says this
705 - new classes mwart, mwbk and mwrep (adaptation of the base classes to
706 polish conventions); new class elsart (for journals published by
707 Elsevier); updated classes koma-script (in particular new class
708 scrlttr2); re-introduce class ijmpd (which was in 1.2.x) and unbreak
711 - new "polski" keymap, useful for entering Polish on a QWERTY
712 keyboard; update to Scientific Word-compatible bindings
713 (documentation has been updated too)
715 - updates to the danish, dutch, french, german, norwegian, polish and
716 spanish translation of menus
718 - Most of the documentation has been updated for the current version
719 of LyX. If you find some problems with the documentation in this
720 release, please contact lyx-docs@lists.lyx.org
722 What's new in version 1.3.0?
723 ----------------------------
725 As with the previous major version 1.2.0, many things make this new
726 release an exciting one. One of the major projects that has been going
727 on behind the scenes is the so-called GUI-independence project. We are
728 glad to announce that version 1.3.0 shows the first results of this.
729 LyX now comes in two flavours: Qt-LyX and xforms-LyX!
731 Although this is the most visible change in version 1.3, this should not
732 hide the fact that the `under the hood' changes to the code have again
733 been very important. A detailed list can be found below.
737 This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports
738 either Qt 2.x or 3.x and is mostly feature complete. Note that some
739 of the dialogs are slightly different in design, but are generally
740 functionally equivalent.
742 Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
743 latex-xft-fonts package at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib to get maths
744 symbols displayed properly.
748 Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly
749 stopped recently and we have therefore chosen to disable it. We
750 strongly invite anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the
755 preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows "instant previews"
756 of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual rendering of the
757 LaTeX in the document. Its project home page can be found at
758 http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex. With the help of David
759 Kastrup, the author, LyX 1.3.0 can harness this functionality to
760 allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and
761 figures. This feature can be immensely useful, ensuring that the
762 rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The
763 preview is only displayed (if enabled) when you're not editing the
764 actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too.
768 There have been a few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the
769 visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of
770 a formula, showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the
771 formula itself and revealing the names of the nesting levels in the
772 minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy
773 package containing e.g. the zodiac symbols. New also is the internal
774 structure of font changes which are now proper "insets", just like
775 anything else from a square root to an array. This not only simplifies
776 the code greatly but also allows the same editing tricks as for the
777 "regular" math. However, it was not possible to tweak the visible
778 behaviour to mimic 1.2 in all cases, so this might take some time to
779 get accustomed to. On the pro side, the new structure allowed
780 support for LaTeX's \mbox and \fbox to be implemented and general
781 "switching back to text mode within math", so a lot of "evil red text"
782 trickery is not needed anymore. The most visible changes are the following:
784 - Pressing { and } will insert LaTeX's \{ and \} which show up as { }
785 in the printout. To get LaTeX's {} nesting, you need to type \{.
787 - Fonts changes now really nest. Repeated application of a font change
788 will result in nested font changes! To remove a font change without
789 removing the "contents", it is now possible to "pull the argument"
790 like in other insets, i.e. put the cursor in the first position of
791 the inset and press 'backspace'.
795 LyX now has a new script lyx2lyx which enables the reading of any file
796 produced by LyX versions as old as 0.12. Work is in progress on files
797 created with LyX 0.10 (LyX 1.4 time-line) and still older files are
798 in the forge. Basically if lyx wrote it LyX will read it. :-)
800 There is also a strong demand to be able to read files produced by
801 _newer_ versions of LyX. While lyx2lyx has the infrastructure in place
802 to do such things, the filters to `downgrade' LyX files (from 1.3.0 to
803 1.2.x, for example) have not yet been written.
805 ** Miscellaneous changes
807 - LyX now automatically uses TeX fonts for screen rendering of math
808 equations if they are available (it is not necessary anymore to
809 configure your font server).
811 - The Insert>Short Title allows the addition of an optional text
812 for section headings and captions that is designed to be used in
815 - The Insert>Float>Floatflt Figure menu item restores the ability
816 to wrap text around an image which was present in 1.1.6 and
819 - If you configure with --with-pspell (which uses the PSpell library for
820 spellchecking), you will be able to automatically spell-check
821 multi-language documents, assuming you have the right dictionaries
825 What's new in version 1.2.3?
826 ----------------------------
828 LyX 1.2.3 is a maintenance release. It mainly fixes a very bad bug
829 where configuring LyX as root could lead to deleting the /dev/null
830 special device (this does not impact users of prebuilt binaries).
831 Also, a bug where LyX would create zombie processes has been fixed.
835 - updated italian User Guide
837 - updated french localization
840 What's new in version 1.2.2?
841 ----------------------------
843 LyX 1.2.2 is a maintenance release. It is a recommended upgrade from
844 1.2.0 or 1.2.1, especially since it fixes a few bugs introduced in
849 - LyX builds with the newly released xforms 1.0. Actually, it is
850 advised to use this version of xforms, since it fixes many bugs and
851 support for older versions will probably be dropped in LyX 1.3.0
853 - selecting a word by double clicking now sets the X clipboard (like
854 when dragging the mouse)
856 - it is now possible to specify the arguments for viewers; in
857 particular, this means that it is possible to use browsers which
858 require a file: URL as HTML viewers (mozilla is used as default if
861 - when a new LyX version is launched, the Edit>Reconfigure tool is
862 automatically invoked; this should avoid many problems with users
863 who are not aware that it is needed
865 - when changing the current layout with the toolbar, the corresponding
866 keyboard binding is shown in the minibuffer
868 - in hebrew language, the key " now inserts a typewriter quote (since
869 other quotes do not make sense in hebrew)
871 - Insert>Lists & TOC>Bibtex Reference uses style 'plain' by default
873 - new class ijmpd; update cl2emult, llncs and foils textclasses
875 - update sciword bindings
877 - small cleanup of UserGuide and FAQ; update to German, French and
878 Russian documentation; new Hebrew tutorial
880 - update french, german, russian, finnish and danish localization of
884 What's new in version 1.2.1?
885 ----------------------------
887 LyX 1.2.1 is a maintenance release which fixes many bugs in version
888 1.2.0. We hope in this way to enhance world happiness, allowing the
889 developers to continue busily to prepare the next major release
890 1.3.0. There are a lot of fixes in there, and upgrading is highly
895 - it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0
896 when this gets released)
898 - partial rewrite of the find & replace feature. This should solve most of
899 the performance problems
901 - new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog
903 - revert to the old behaviour when creating new floats (figure,
904 table...): the empty paragraph in the float now is a caption. It
905 seems that 1.2.0 behaviour was confusing too many people
907 - it is now possible to set the float placement parameters to
910 - when the cursor is inside a collapsible inset, `Edit>Open/close
911 float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should
912 help entering of ERT insets)
914 - update Finnish, Danish, French and Russian localizations
916 - update Tutorial to 1.2.x features
918 - better support for entering Cyrillic and Greek alphabets
920 - cleanup shortcuts for section layouts. Starred versions are now
921 obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ...,
924 - add keyboard shortcuts to the Documents menu
926 - support the numpad direction keys as equivalent to normal cursor
929 - it is now possible to specify a non-existent file name on the command
930 line and have this file created for you
932 - new class cl2emult; update template for IEEEtran; small update to
933 heb-article and hollywood textclasses
936 What's new in version 1.2.0?
937 ----------------------------
939 LyX 1.2.0 is the version where many of changes in the 1.1.x series
940 really begin to pay off. It should prove to be a very solid base for
941 further developments. As of this version, we use (yet another) new
942 versioning scheme: next major version will be 1.3.0, and 1.2.x will
943 be just incremental fixes (like the `fix' series used to be for 1.1.5
946 This version sees the introduction of the so-called `new' insets,
947 which can contain arbitrary text. As a consequence, many new features
950 - Floats, footnotes and margin notes are now real insets. The
951 positional parameters of figure, table and algorithm floats can be set
954 - Most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been addressed
955 (memory consumption, file bloat, spell-checking, search and replace...).
956 Better longtable header/footer support was implemented.
958 - TeX mode has been superseded by the ERT inset, which is foldable, or
961 - Notes inset can now contain arbitrary LyX constructs; they will not
962 appear in the output.
966 Note that another consequence of these changes is that older LyX
967 versions will almost certainly fail to read files produced by LyX
971 Other more traditional insets have been improved too:
973 - New graphics inset with support for hassle-free inclusion of various
974 image formats (GIF, JPEG, PNG and EPS by default) and a new
975 rendering scheme that should fix the bugs we had with the older
978 - Support for natbib for bibliography citations
982 The math editor has been mostly rewritten. This begun as a general
983 cleanup, but it turns out that many new features happened in this
984 process, among which:
986 - many of the known bugs or annoyances in mathed have been fixed.
988 - possibility to display all standard latex and amsmath symbols (and
989 also the \mathcal, \mathbb, and \mathfrak fonts)as long as the
990 relevant fonts have been made available to the X server
992 - support for many amsmath features
993 Commands: xrightarrow, xleftarrow, substack, underset, dddot
994 over/under arrows (e.g. underleftarrow).
995 Environments: align, alignat, xalignat, xxalignat, multline, gather
996 split, gathered, aligned, cases, subarray, pmatrix, bmatrix, vmatrix,
999 - Preliminary support for xymatrix
1001 - Support for horizontal and vertical lines in arrays.
1003 - Improvements to the parser
1005 - Improvements to math text mode
1007 - (Better) support for nested macros
1009 - Enable size changes to arrays after creation (add/delete rows/columns)
1011 - Support for changing font or displaystyle on a selection
1013 - GUI support provided for many more features
1016 Other changes include:
1018 - Support for windows with cygwin has been incorporated into the main
1021 - Most of the dialogs have been rewritten in the GUI-I framework, and
1022 improved in the process
1024 - The kde frontend has been dropped in favor of a new qt2 frontend.
1025 Note that only the xforms front is really operational as of this
1026 version and alternative frontends are expected for 1.3.0
1028 - The citation dialog has a search facility, with support for regular
1031 - New ligature break special character, useful for words like
1032 "shelfful", or many german words
1034 - Support for parsing preamble when converting LaTeX files. Along
1035 with changes in the LaTeX production of alignment options, this
1036 improves round-trip work where you export a LyX document as
1037 LaTeX, and later reimport it from LaTeX.
1039 - Updated documentation
1041 - a few more document classes for journals: dtk, ltugboat, spie and
1044 - Support for setting bookmarks and jumping to them
1046 - It is possible to cycle between a label and its references.
1048 - Preliminary support for multiple bibliographies
1050 - Babel can be disabled
1052 - A thesaurus facility (English only)
1054 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix4?
1055 ------------------------------------
1057 LyX 1.1.6fix4 is a bugfix release.
1061 - add support for latin3, latin4 and latin9 encodings
1063 - change the encoding for estonian from latin4 to latin1, since it
1064 appears to be more suitable.
1066 - add support for ae fonts (emulation of T1 encoding with OT1 fonts).
1067 This is useful for creating pdf files in T1 encoding
1069 - add support for dvipdfm
1071 - when passing a file name as argument from command line, the
1072 extension `.lyx' is added if necessary
1074 - insert error insets in the documents when there have been unknown
1077 - new class `kluwer'; update to hollywood class
1079 - the class encts has been renamed to entcs (stupid typo!) and
1082 - updates to the introduction document and the italian user guide
1084 - updates to the russian, finnish and hebrew localisations
1087 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix3?
1088 ------------------------------------
1090 LyX 1.1.6fix3 is a bugfix release.
1094 - documentation has been updated to remove errors due to interface
1097 - new italian user guide; updated french localisation of menus and
1098 documentation; new dutch translations of some examples
1100 - the `history' and `revert' functionalities have been implemented in CVS
1103 - it is now possible to enter directly characters in an encoding
1104 different from latin1 (providing one is using a correct screen font)
1106 - new encts class for Elsevier Science's Electronic Notes in
1107 Theoretical Computer Science
1109 - new cv class for writing curriculum vitae
1111 - new extarticle, extreport, extbook and extletter classes, which are
1112 versions of the normal classes with more font sizes available
1114 - the aapaper class has been complemented with a aa class for the A&A
1115 LaTeX document class version 5.0, which is slightly incompatible
1116 with the older version
1119 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix2?
1120 ------------------------------------
1122 LyX 1.1.6fix2 is a bugfix release.
1126 - add language support in docbook; better support for verbatim text.
1128 - the --with-lyx-suffix flag introduced in 1.1.6fix1 has been renamed
1129 to --with-version-suffix; it can now be used without argument (to
1130 install as lyx-1.1.6fix2)
1132 - many translations updated; big french documentation overhaul; german
1133 documentation update.
1135 - preliminary Thai support; new serbo-croatian support
1138 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix1?
1139 ------------------------------------
1141 LyX 1.1.6fix1 is a bugfix release.
1145 - updated documentation for version 1.1.6; new french documentation
1146 translations; updated danish translation of the interface.
1148 - better support for ukrainian language
1150 - non working --with-lyxname configure option has been replaced by
1151 working --with-lyx-suffix.
1153 - in default cua bindings, change C-k from font-noun to
1154 line-delete-forward.
1156 - Add the prefix "key-" to the default keys for bibliography insets.
1158 - Show both key and label of a bibliography inset.
1161 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6?
1162 --------------------------------
1164 As with all of the 1.1.x versions of LyX, this release contains a lot
1165 of new code: in particular, more than half of the changes described in
1166 the ChangeLog (which dates back to the 1.1.0 release) concern LyX 1.1.6!
1168 Besides the usual under-the-hood changes, LyX 1.1.6 has many
1169 new user-visible features. The main visible feature is that the
1170 GUI-independent branch of development has been merged, as well as code
1171 from the older development version:
1173 - many popups have been rewritten to use the new GUI-I scheme. In the
1174 process they have received a nice cleanup: the Document and Paragraph
1175 popups now contain in one single place what was previously scattered
1176 in many places. Similarly, the citation and cross reference popups
1177 have been overhauled.
1179 - LyX now has a Preference popup where you can change most of your
1182 - the menus can now be defined in a text file, and they automatically
1183 display the keyboard bindings associated with commands.
1185 - it is now possible to provide your own icons for the toolbar.
1187 - last but not least, work has begun on a KDE and a Gnome frontend for
1188 LyX. They are not officially supported for this version, but this
1189 will give you an idea of what is happening.
1191 Other major changes in 1.1.6 include:
1193 - the table support has been completely rewritten. It is now a modular
1194 object (inset), each cell of which owns a (also) newly written text
1195 inset. This now permits automatic text-wrap inside a tabular
1196 cell (if you define a width), multiparagraph mode AND setting of
1197 layouts for the paragraphs (lists inside a tabular cell!). Last but
1198 not least, a wide tabular now scrolls automatically so that all of it
1199 is visible without the need to enlarge the window!
1201 While there are as yet no other new features, they will be now MUCH
1202 easier to add. It may be that because of being "young" code some
1203 features may not work right now, but at least it is much
1206 - new external material inset: this is a new kind of very powerful
1207 inset which will allow LyX to interface intelligently with external
1208 applications. Among other good things, it will finally allow you to
1209 include GIF, JPEG, TIF, PNG, or just about any other raster format
1210 images in your document. It will even do an approximate ascii
1211 rendering when you do Ascii export if you have gifscii installed.
1213 - The code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for
1214 viewing or exporting purposes) and from anything else to LyX has been
1215 rewritten. In particular, it is now possible to export to PDF, and to
1216 import from HTML/MSWord. In fact it's now possible to add new import/export
1217 formats without recompiling LyX by specifying external programs or scripts
1219 (note that the old import/export lyxrc settings no longer work).
1221 - LyX can do command line exports without opening any GUI components.
1223 - The multilingual support has been improved. It is now possible to use in a
1224 document languages with different encodings, e.g. German (iso8859-1) and
1225 Czech (iso8859-2). Such a document can be viewed on screen using an
1226 iso10646-1 (Unicode) font. However, it is (currently) not possible to
1227 have differently encoded languages in the same paragraph.
1228 The languages and the encodings are defined in text files.
1230 - Improved support for Hebrew and Arabic (also present in 1.1.5fix2).
1232 - included files work now with docbook and linuxdoc; new layout
1235 - PSpell library and Aspell spell checker support now included thanks
1236 largely to Kevin Atkinson (PSpell and Aspell maintainer).
1238 And finally, there have been a lot of smaller changes, which are
1239 mentioned here for your information
1241 - the menu entry File->New does not prompt for a file name by default
1242 (this can be changed in preferences).
1244 - new -geometry command line option, which replaces the old -width,
1249 What's new in LyX version 1.1.5?
1250 --------------------------------
1252 Lots of internal code rewritten, fixed, changed and added.
1253 We are using the C++ Standard Library more each day.
1254 This will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain
1256 We are also gearing up for the merge of the gui-indep branch, expect
1257 this (but not the new gui's) in 1.1.6.
1259 User-visible changes:
1261 - Paste to other programs (like emacs or xterm). Note: text only.
1263 - New TOC menu item for fast access to the table of contents.
1265 - New Refs menu item for quick insertion of cross-references.
1267 - multilingual documents (preliminary support)
1269 - Right-to-Left support for Hebrew and Arabic, this is a first attempt
1270 only and is likely to improve in future versions.
1272 - Per-paragraph spacing, currently only settable from the
1273 command-line/window:
1274 paragraph-spacing (default,single,onehalf,double,other) [float]
1276 - New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the !
1277 in the margin for margin notes has been removed).
1279 - End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense.
1281 - labels are now editable (not in equations, though).
1283 - Much faster spellchecking (50x faster!).
1285 - The parsing of the LaTex log has improved flagging more errors that
1286 earlier versions of LyX did not see at all. So if you suddenly have
1287 errors in documents that used to have none, this might be the casue.
1288 (And you probably had the error always.)
1290 - Better definition for LyXList style.
1292 - hollywood.layout and broadway.layout have improved. New classes
1293 LLNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), svjog (Journal of Geodesy)
1295 - support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support)
1297 - A couple of changes to the LyX format, so that files written with
1298 1.1.5 will not be parsed correctly by older LyX versions if protected
1299 spaces or the new per-paragraph spacing are used. Also the RtL
1300 support is of course not supported in older versions.
1302 - Removed support for XForms older than 0.88.
1304 - Some command-line options and X resources are not supported anymore
1305 (The color ones, and -mono -fastselection, -reverse)
1307 - New command-line options '-userdir' which so that you can choose to
1308 use another dir than .lyx for user configurations. (Or have many.)
1310 - new lyxrc variables: \show_banner [true|false] to remove the banner
1311 screen, \backupdir_path to tell where the backup files created
1312 by lyx should be stored, and \override_x_deadkeys to tell whether
1313 lyx should provide its own accent keys handling (default is true).
1316 What's new in LyX version 1.1.4?
1317 --------------------------------
1319 More internals have been rethought. In particular, most of the file IO
1320 routines of LyX have been rewritten to use real C++ streams. Many
1321 changes have also been done to help compile LyX with Sun CC 5.0 and
1324 In the user-visible department, we find:
1326 - new command line option -x (or --execute) and -e (or --export). Now
1327 direct conversion from .lyx to .tex (.dvi, .ps, ...) is possible
1328 ('lyx file.lyx --export latex') Unfortunately, X is still needed and
1329 the GUI pops up during the process...
1331 - better placement of accents for characters that LyX draws by itself;
1333 - improved translations, in particular in Finnish (overhauled UI
1334 translation), Dutch (tutorial and examples), German
1336 - new configure flag --with-lyxname which allows to choose the name
1337 under which lyx is installed. Default is "lyx", of course. It used
1338 to be possible to do this with --program-suffix, but the later has
1339 in fact a different meaning for autoconf.
1341 And of course, a lot of old bugs have been replaced by new ones ;)
1344 What's new in LyX version 1.1.3?
1345 --------------------------------
1347 More LyX internals have been cleaned-up in this version, but the usual
1348 small number of user-visible changes have appeared:
1350 - LyX is not able anymore to read some old files using latex inset
1351 (this should not be a problem as these were already not generated by
1352 LyX 0.12.0). Use LyX 1.0.4 to read files containing those.
1354 - The first line of a .lyx file does not contain anymore the file
1355 creator name and the date of creation; this was causing various
1358 - the -dbg command line switch is enhanced. For example, "-dbg lyxrc"
1361 - Slightly better handling of dependency tracking for bibtex files.
1363 - The screen representations of \varepsilon and \epsilon have been
1364 swapped. Now \epsilon shows as red text, and \varepsilon shows as it
1365 should. This is of course a controversial change (since many people
1366 will find that their lyx workscreen is suddenly full of red), but done
1367 for the sake of correctness.
1369 - The characters \angle and \vee are now correctly displayed in math

1381 What's new in LyX version 1.1.2?
1382 --------------------------------
1384 LyX 1.1.2 is a minor upgrade to 1.1.1, only one new feature has been added:
1386 - the export to html feature has been extended to use other programs.
1387 Currently, tth, latex2html and hevea are supported. Note that the
1388 variable \tth_command has been renamed to \html_command in lyxrc.
1390 Moreover, a couple of semi-serious bugs have been fixed:
1392 - a bug that caused a crash in lyxstring::find
1394 - the annoying '-' vs. '_' bug.
1396 Also the cheaders files were missing from the 1.1.1 distribution, that
1397 has also been fixed.
1399 What's new in LyX version 1.1.1?
1400 --------------------------------
1402 LyX 1.1.1 marks an important change in our development scheme. While
1403 it does not have many new features, there have been many internal
1404 changes, many of which have been backported from our old development
1405 branch (which is now extinct). So while on the surface this version is
1406 very similar to version 1.0.4, many things happened under the hood. As
1407 a consequence of this: expect that some new bugs have crept in.
1409 User visible changes in lyx 1.1.1:
1411 - New export to HTML feature
1413 - All the popups should be more resistant to resize actions.
1415 - normal spaces are automatically made unbreakable if we are in
1416 a freespacing mode (LyX-Code), but not in latex mode. The rule used
1417 to be that spaces where changed when in typewriter font.
1419 - the default encoding of a new document is now latin1, since it seems
1420 to be a reasonable default for many people. Note that you can
1421 override this default with the "Save layout as default" feature.
