1 What's new in version 1.3.0?
2 ----------------------------
4 As with the previous major version 1.2.0, many things make this new
5 release an exciting one. This should not however hide the fact that
6 the `under the hood' changes to the code have been (again) very
7 important. One of these invisible changes that have been going on for
8 a long time is the so-called GUI-independence project. We are glad to
9 announce that version 1.3.0 shows the first results of this.
13 This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports
14 either Qt 2.x or 3.0.x and is mostly feature complete. Note that some
15 of the dialogs are slightly different in design, but are generally
16 functionally equivalent.
20 The avent of the Qt frontend does not mean that the historical xforms
21 frontend is dead. Actually, it is still the one which is the best
22 implemented, since we had much time to polish it. In this release,
23 most of the dialogs have been redesigned to be tighter.
25 Note also that the xforms library has been very recently updated to
26 version 1.0. This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser
27 General Public License), and the availability of the source means that
28 many bugs that have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You
29 are advised to upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes. As
30 a matter of fact, LyX 1.3.0 does not support anymore versions of
31 xforms older than 0.89.5.
33 In most cases the dialogs have been designed to make it impossible to input
34 invalid parameters. The exception to this rule is the input of length data.
35 Power LaTeX users can still input obtuse "glue lengths", but the widgets are
36 highlighted in red if this input is invalid or incomplete. This visual
37 feedback makes it easy to see why LyX won't allow you to Apply your changes.
41 Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly
42 stopped recently and we have therefore chosen to disable it. We
43 strongly invite anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the
48 preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows "instant
49 previews" of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual
50 rendering of the LaTeX in the document. With the help of David
51 Kastrup, the author, current CVS LyX can harness this functionality to
52 allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and
53 figures. This feature can be immensely useful for making sure the
54 rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The
55 preview is only displayed (when enabled) when you're not editing the
56 actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too.
60 There have been few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the
61 visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of
62 a formula by showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the
63 formula itself and by revealing the names of the nesting levels in the
64 minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy
65 package containing e.g. the zodiac symbols. New is also the internal
66 structure of font changes which are now proper "insets" as anything
67 else from a square root to an array. This does not only simplify the
68 code greatly but also allows the same editing tricks as for the
69 "regular" math. However, it was not possible to tweak the visible
70 behaviour to mimic 1.2 in all cases, so this might take some time to
71 get accustomed to. On the pro side, the new structure allowed
72 implementing support for LaTeX's \mbox and \fbox and general
73 "switching back to text mode within math", so a lot of "evil red text"
74 trickery is not needed anymore.
78 LyX now has a new script lyx2lyx which allows to read any old file
79 produced by LyX versions as old as 0.12. 0.10 series is in the works
80 for 0.10 (1.4 time line) and still older files are in the forge.
81 Basically if lyx wrote it lyx will read it. :-)
83 There is also a strong demand for being able to read files produced by
84 _newer_ versions of LyX. While lyx2lyx has an infrastructure in place
85 to do such things, the filters to `downgrade' LyX files (from 1.3.0 to
86 1.2.x, for example) have not yet been written.
88 ** Miscellaneous changes
90 - LyX now automatically uses TeX fonts for screen rendering if they are
91 available (it is not necessary anymore to configure your font server).
93 - The Insert>Short Title allows to add an optional text for section
94 headings and captions that is designed to be used in table of
97 - The Insert>Float>Floatflt Figure menu item restores the capability
98 of wrapping a text around an image which was present in 1.1.6 and
101 - If you configure with --with-pspell (which uses the PSpell library for
102 spellchecking), you will be able to automatically spell-check
103 multi-language documents, assuming you have the right dictionaries
106 What's new in version 1.2.2?
107 ----------------------------
109 LyX 1.2.2 is a maintenance release. It is a recommended upgrade from
110 1.2.0 or 1.2.1, especially since it fixes a few bugs introduced in
115 - LyX builds with the newly released xforms 1.0. Actually, it is
116 advised to use this version of xforms, since it fixes many bugs and
117 support for older versions will probably be dropped in LyX 1.3.0
119 - selecting a word by double clicking now sets the X clipboard (like
120 when dragging the mouse)
122 - it is now possible to specify the arguments for viewers; in
123 particular, this means that it is possible to use browsers which
124 require a file: URL as HTML viewers (mozilla is used as default if
127 - when a new LyX version is launched, the Edit>Reconfigure tool is
128 automatically invoked; this should avoid many problems with users
129 who are not aware that it is needed
131 - when changing the current layout with the toolbar, the corresponding
132 keyboard binding is shown in the minibuffer
134 - in hebrew language, the key " now inserts a typewriter quote (since
135 other quotes do not make sense in hebrew)
137 - Insert>Lists & TOC>Bibtex Reference uses style 'plain' by default
139 - new class ijmpd; update cl2emult, llncs and foils textclasses
141 - update sciword bindings
143 - small cleanup of UserGuide and FAQ; update to German, French and
144 Russian documentation; new Hebrew tutorial
146 - update french, german, russian, finnish and danish localization of
150 What's new in version 1.2.1?
151 ----------------------------
153 LyX 1.2.1 is a maintenance release which fixes many bugs in version
154 1.2.0. We hope in this way to enhance world happiness, allowing the
155 developers to continue busily to prepare the next major release
156 1.3.0. There are a lot of fixes in there, and upgrading is highly
161 - it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0
162 when this gets released)
164 - partial rewrite of the find & replace feature. This should solve most of
165 the performance problems
167 - new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog
169 - revert to the old behaviour when creating new floats (figure,
170 table...): the empty paragraph in the float now is a caption. It
171 seems that 1.2.0 behaviour was confusing too many people
173 - it is now possible to set the float placement parameters to
176 - when the cursor is inside a collapsible inset, `Edit>Open/close
177 float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should
178 help entering of ERT insets)
180 - update Finnish, Danish, French and Russian localizations
182 - update Tutorial to 1.2.x features
184 - better support for entering Cyrillic and Greek alphabets
186 - cleanup shortcuts for section layouts. Starred versions are now
187 obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ...,
190 - add keyboard shortcuts to the Documents menu
192 - support the numpad direction keys as equivalent to normal cursor
195 - it is now possible to specify a non-existent file name on the command
196 line and have this file created for you
198 - new class cl2emult; update template for IEEEtran; small update to
199 heb-article and hollywood textclasses
202 What's new in version 1.2.0?
203 ----------------------------
205 LyX 1.2.0 is the version where many of changes in the 1.1.x series
206 really begin to pay off. It should prove to be a very solid base for
207 further developments. As of this version, we use (yet another) new
208 versioning scheme: next major version will be 1.3.0, and 1.2.x will
209 be just incremental fixes (like the `fix' series used to be for 1.1.5
212 This version sees the introduction of the so-called `new' insets,
213 which can contain arbitrary text. As a consequence, many new features
216 - Floats, footnotes and margin notes are now real insets. The
217 positional parameters of figure, table and algorithm floats can be set
220 - Most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been addressed
221 (memory consumption, file bloat, spell-checking, search and replace...).
222 Better longtable header/footer support was implemented.
224 - TeX mode has been superseded by the ERT inset, which is foldable, or
227 - Notes inset can now contain arbitrary LyX constructs; they will not
228 appear in the output.
232 Note that another consequence of these changes is that older LyX
233 versions will almost certainly fail to read files produced by LyX
237 Other more traditional insets have been improved too:
239 - New graphics inset with support for hassle-free inclusion of various
240 image formats (GIF, JPEG, PNG and EPS by default) and a new
241 rendering scheme that should fix the bugs we had with the older
244 - Support for natbib for bibliography citations
248 The math editor has been mostly rewritten. This begun as a general
249 cleanup, but it turns out that many new features happened in this
250 process, among which:
252 - many of the known bugs or annoyances in mathed have been fixed.
254 - possibility to display all standard latex and amsmath symbols (and
255 also the \mathcal, \mathbb, and \mathfrak fonts)as long as the
256 relevant fonts have been made available to the X server
258 - support for many amsmath features
259 Commands: xrightarrow, xleftarrow, substack, underset, dddot
260 over/under arrows (e.g. underleftarrow).
261 Environments: align, alignat, xalignat, xxalignat, multline, gather
262 split, gathered, aligned, cases, subarray, pmatrix, bmatrix, vmatrix,
265 - Preliminary support for xymatrix
267 - Support for horizontal and vertical lines in arrays.
269 - Improvements to the parser
271 - Improvements to math text mode
273 - (Better) support for nested macros
275 - Enable size changes to arrays after creation (add/delete rows/columns)
277 - Support for changing font or displaystyle on a selection
279 - GUI support provided for many more features
282 Other changes include:
284 - Support for windows with cygwin has been incorporated into the main
287 - Most of the dialogs have been rewritten in the GUI-I framework, and
288 improved in the process
290 - The kde frontend has been dropped in favor of a new qt2 frontend.
291 Note that only the xforms front is really operational as of this
292 version and alternative frontends are expected for 1.3.0
294 - The citation dialog has a search facility, with support for regular
297 - New ligature break special character, useful for words like
298 "shelfful", or many german words
300 - Support for parsing preamble when converting LaTeX files. Along
301 with changes in the LaTeX production of alignment options, this
302 improves round-trip work where you export a LyX document as
303 LaTeX, and later reimport it from LaTeX.
305 - Updated documentation
307 - a few more document classes for journals: dtk, ltugboat, spie and
310 - Support for setting bookmarks and jumping to them
312 - It is possible to cycle between a label and its references.
314 - Preliminary support for multiple bibliographies
316 - Babel can be disabled
318 - A thesaurus facility (English only)
320 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix4?
321 ------------------------------------
323 LyX 1.1.6fix4 is a bugfix release.
327 - add support for latin3, latin4 and latin9 encodings
329 - change the encoding for estonian from latin4 to latin1, since it
330 appears to be more suitable.
332 - add support for ae fonts (emulation of T1 encoding with OT1 fonts).
333 This is useful for creating pdf files in T1 encoding
335 - add support for dvipdfm
337 - when passing a file name as argument from command line, the
338 extension `.lyx' is added if necessary
340 - insert error insets in the documents when there have been unknown
343 - new class `kluwer'; update to hollywood class
345 - the class encts has been renamed to entcs (stupid typo!) and
348 - updates to the introduction document and the italian user guide
350 - updates to the russian, finnish and hebrew localisations
353 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix3?
354 ------------------------------------
356 LyX 1.1.6fix3 is a bugfix release.
360 - documentation has been updated to remove errors due to interface
363 - new italian user guide; updated french localisation of menus and
364 documentation; new dutch translations of some examples
366 - the `history' and `revert' functionalities have been implemented in CVS
369 - it is now possible to enter directly characters in an encoding
370 different from latin1 (providing one is using a correct screen font)
372 - new encts class for Elsevier Science's Electronic Notes in
373 Theoretical Computer Science
375 - new cv class for writing curriculum vitae
377 - new extarticle, extreport, extbook and extletter classes, which are
378 versions of the normal classes with more font sizes available
380 - the aapaper class has been complemented with a aa class for the A&A
381 LaTeX document class version 5.0, which is slightly incompatible
382 with the older version
385 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix2?
386 ------------------------------------
388 LyX 1.1.6fix2 is a bugfix release.
392 - add language support in docbook; better support for verbatim text.
394 - the --with-lyx-suffix flag introduced in 1.1.6fix1 has been renamed
395 to --with-version-suffix; it can now be used without argument (to
396 install as lyx-1.1.6fix2)
398 - many translations updated; big french documentation overhaul; german
399 documentation update.
401 - preliminary Thai support; new serbo-croatian support
404 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6fix1?
405 ------------------------------------
407 LyX 1.1.6fix1 is a bugfix release.
411 - updated documentation for version 1.1.6; new french documentation
412 translations; updated danish translation of the interface.
414 - better support for ukrainian language
416 - non working --with-lyxname configure option has been replaced by
417 working --with-lyx-suffix.
419 - in default cua bindings, change C-k from font-noun to
422 - Add the prefix "key-" to the default keys for bibliography insets.
424 - Show both key and label of a bibliography inset.
427 What's new in LyX version 1.1.6?
428 --------------------------------
430 As with all of the 1.1.x versions of LyX, this release contains a lot
431 of new code: in particular, more than half of the changes described in
432 the ChangeLog (which dates back to the 1.1.0 release) concern LyX 1.1.6!
434 Besides the usual under-the-hood changes, LyX 1.1.6 has many
435 new user-visible features. The main visible feature is that the
436 GUI-independent branch of development has been merged, as well as code
437 from the older development version:
439 - many popups have been rewritten to use the new GUI-I scheme. In the
440 process they have received a nice cleanup: the Document and Paragraph
441 popups now contain in one single place what was previously scattered
442 in many places. Similarly, the citation and cross reference popups
443 have been overhauled.
445 - LyX now has a Preference popup where you can change most of your
448 - the menus can now be defined in a text file, and they automatically
449 display the keyboard bindings associated with commands.
451 - it is now possible to provide your own icons for the toolbar.
453 - last but not least, work has begun on a KDE and a Gnome frontend for
454 LyX. They are not officially supported for this version, but this
455 will give you an idea of what is happening.
457 Other major changes in 1.1.6 include:
459 - the table support has been completely rewritten. It is now a modular
460 object (inset), each cell of which owns a (also) newly written text
461 inset. This now permits automatic text-wrap inside a tabular
462 cell (if you define a width), multiparagraph mode AND setting of
463 layouts for the paragraphs (lists inside a tabular cell!). Last but
464 not least, a wide tabular now scrolls automatically so that all of it
465 is visible without the need to enlarge the window!
467 While there are as yet no other new features, they will be now MUCH
468 easier to add. It may be that because of being "young" code some
469 features may not work right now, but at least it is much
472 - new external material inset: this is a new kind of very powerful
473 inset which will allow LyX to interface intelligently with external
474 applications. Among other good things, it will finally allow you to
475 include GIF, JPEG, TIF, PNG, or just about any other raster format
476 images in your document. It will even do an approximate ascii
477 rendering when you do Ascii export if you have gifscii installed.
479 - The code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for
480 viewing or exporting purposes) and from anything else to LyX has been
481 rewritten. In particular, it is now possible to export to PDF, and to
482 import from HTML/MSWord. In fact it's now possible to add new import/export
483 formats without recompiling LyX by specifying external programs or scripts
485 (note that the old import/export lyxrc settings no longer work).
487 - LyX can do command line exports without opening any GUI components.
489 - The multilingual support has been improved. It is now possible to use in a
490 document languages with different encodings, e.g. German (iso8859-1) and
491 Czech (iso8859-2). Such a document can be viewed on screen using an
492 iso10646-1 (Unicode) font. However, it is (currently) not possible to
493 have differently encoded languages in the same paragraph.
494 The languages and the encodings are defined in text files.
496 - Improved support for Hebrew and Arabic (also present in 1.1.5fix2).
498 - included files work now with docbook and linuxdoc; new layout
501 - PSpell library and Aspell spell checker support now included thanks
502 largely to Kevin Atkinson (PSpell and Aspell maintainer).
504 And finally, there have been a lot of smaller changes, which are
505 mentioned here for your information
507 - the menu entry File->New does not prompt for a file name by default
508 (this can be changed in preferences).
510 - new -geometry command line option, which replaces the old -width,
515 What's new in LyX version 1.1.5?
516 --------------------------------
518 Lots of internal code rewritten, fixed, changed and added.
519 We are using the C++ Standard Library more each day.
520 This will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain
522 We are also gearing up for the merge of the gui-indep branch, expect
523 this (but not the new gui's) in 1.1.6.
525 User-visible changes:
527 - Paste to other programs (like emacs or xterm). Note: text only.
529 - New TOC menu item for fast access to the table of contents.
531 - New Refs menu item for quick insertion of cross-references.
533 - multilingual documents (preliminary support)
535 - Right-to-Left support for Hebrew and Arabic, this is a first attempt
536 only and is likely to improve in future versions.
538 - Per-paragraph spacing, currently only settable from the
540 paragraph-spacing (default,single,onehalf,double,other) [float]
542 - New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the !
543 in the margin for margin notes has been removed).
545 - End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense.
547 - labels are now editable (not in equations, though).
549 - Much faster spellchecking (50x faster!).
551 - The parsing of the LaTex log has improved flagging more errors that
552 earlier versions of LyX did not see at all. So if you suddenly have
553 errors in documents that used to have none, this might be the casue.
554 (And you probably had the error always.)
556 - Better definition for LyXList style.
558 - hollywood.layout and broadway.layout have improved. New classes
559 LLNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), svjog (Journal of Geodesy)
561 - support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support)
563 - A couple of changes to the LyX format, so that files written with
564 1.1.5 will not be parsed correctly by older LyX versions if protected
565 spaces or the new per-paragraph spacing are used. Also the RtL
566 support is of course not supported in older versions.
568 - Removed support for XForms older than 0.88.
570 - Some command-line options and X resources are not supported anymore
571 (The color ones, and -mono -fastselection, -reverse)
573 - New command-line options '-userdir' which so that you can choose to
574 use another dir than .lyx for user configurations. (Or have many.)
576 - new lyxrc variables: \show_banner [true|false] to remove the banner
577 screen, \backupdir_path to tell where the backup files created
578 by lyx should be stored, and \override_x_deadkeys to tell whether
579 lyx should provide its own accent keys handling (default is true).
582 What's new in LyX version 1.1.4?
583 --------------------------------
585 More internals have been rethought. In particular, most of the file IO
586 routines of LyX have been rewritten to use real C++ streams. Many
587 changes have also been done to help compile LyX with Sun CC 5.0 and
590 In the user-visible department, we find:
592 - new command line option -x (or --execute) and -e (or --export). Now
593 direct conversion from .lyx to .tex (.dvi, .ps, ...) is possible
594 ('lyx file.lyx --export latex') Unfortunately, X is still needed and
595 the GUI pops up during the process...
597 - better placement of accents for characters that LyX draws by itself;
599 - improved translations, in particular in Finnish (overhauled UI
600 translation), Dutch (tutorial and examples), German
602 - new configure flag --with-lyxname which allows to choose the name
603 under which lyx is installed. Default is "lyx", of course. It used
604 to be possible to do this with --program-suffix, but the later has
605 in fact a different meaning for autoconf.
607 And of course, a lot of old bugs have been replaced by new ones ;)
610 What's new in LyX version 1.1.3?
611 --------------------------------
613 More LyX internals have been cleaned-up in this version, but the usual
614 small number of user-visible changes have appeared:
616 - LyX is not able anymore to read some old files using latex inset
617 (this should not be a problem as these were already not generated by
618 LyX 0.12.0). Use LyX 1.0.4 to read files containing those.
620 - The first line of a .lyx file does not contain anymore the file
621 creator name and the date of creation; this was causing various
624 - the -dbg command line switch is enhanced. For example, "-dbg lyxrc"
627 - Slightly better handling of dependency tracking for bibtex files.
629 - The screen representations of \varepsilon and \epsilon have been
630 swapped. Now \epsilon shows as red text, and \varepsilon shows as it
631 should. This is of course a controversial change (since many people
632 will find that their lyx workscreen is suddenly full of red), but done
633 for the sake of correctness.
635 - The characters \angle and \vee are now correctly displayed in math
636 formulas; the glyph for \Upsilon has been changed.
638 - Characters '~' and '^' are now output using standard LaTeX macros,
639 which improves the result with T1 fonts.
641 - new function "command-sequence" to bind several sequences to a key.
643 - The textclass g-brief has been updated.
645 And of course many bugs have been fixed.
647 What's new in LyX version 1.1.2?
648 --------------------------------
650 LyX 1.1.2 is a minor upgrade to 1.1.1, only one new feature has been added:
652 - the export to html feature has been extended to use other programs.
653 Currently, tth, latex2html and hevea are supported. Note that the
654 variable \tth_command has been renamed to \html_command in lyxrc.
656 Moreover, a couple of semi-serious bugs have been fixed:
658 - a bug that caused a crash in lyxstring::find
660 - the annoying '-' vs. '_' bug.
662 Also the cheaders files were missing from the 1.1.1 distribution, that
665 What's new in LyX version 1.1.1?
666 --------------------------------
668 LyX 1.1.1 marks an important change in our development scheme. While
669 it does not have many new features, there have been many internal
670 changes, many of which have been backported from our old development
671 branch (which is now extinct). So while on the surface this version is
672 very similar to version 1.0.4, many things happened under the hood. As
673 a consequence of this: expect that some new bugs have crept in.
675 User visible changes in lyx 1.1.1:
677 - New export to HTML feature
679 - All the popups should be more resistant to resize actions.
681 - normal spaces are automatically made unbreakable if we are in
682 a freespacing mode (LyX-Code), but not in latex mode. The rule used
683 to be that spaces where changed when in typewriter font.
685 - the default encoding of a new document is now latin1, since it seems
686 to be a reasonable default for many people. Note that you can
687 override this default with the "Save layout as default" feature.
689 What's new in 1.0.4 compared to LyX version 1.0.3?
690 --------------------------------------------------
692 LyX 1.0.4 is mainly a bugfix update to 1.0.3, but some
693 new features has been included:
699 - Better printing with custom pagesizes.
701 - Several language files updated.
703 - And several bugfixes to math and table.
705 What's new in 1.0.3 compared to LyX version 1.0.2?
706 --------------------------------------------------
708 LyX 1.0.3 is mainly a bugfix update to 1.0.2.
