1 What's new in LyX version 1.1.3?
2 --------------------------------
4 More LyX internals have been cleaned-up in this version, but the usual
5 small number of user-visible changes have appeared:
7 - LyX is not able anymore to read some old files using latex inset
8 (this should not be a problem as these were already not generated by
9 LyX 0.12.0). Use LyX 1.0.4 to read files containing those.
11 - The first line of a .lyx file does not contain anymore the file
12 creator name and the date of creation; this was causing various
15 - the -dbg command line switch is enhanced. For example, "-dbg lyxrc"
18 - Slightly better handling of dependency tracking for bibtex files.
20 - The screen representations of \varepsilon and \epsilon have been
21 swapped. Now \epsilon shows as red text, and \varepsilon shows as it
22 should. This is of course a controversial change (since many people
23 will find that their lyx workscreen is suddenly full of red), but done
24 for the sake of correctness.
26 - The characters \angle and \vee are now correctly displayed in math
27 formulas; the glyph for \Upsilon has been changed.
29 - Characters '~' and '^' are now output using standard LaTeX macros,
30 which improves the result with T1 fonts.
32 - new function "command-sequence" to bind several sequences to a key.
34 - The textclass g-brief has been updated.
36 And of course many bugs have been fixed.
38 What's new in LyX version 1.1.2?
39 --------------------------------
41 LyX 1.1.2 is a minor upgrade to 1.1.1, only one new feature has been added:
43 - the export to html feature has been extended to use other programs.
44 Currently, tth, latex2html and hevea are supported. Note that the
45 variable \tth_command has been renamed to \html_command in lyxrc.
47 Moreover, a couple of semi-serious bugs have been fixed:
49 - a bug that caused a crash in lyxstring::find
51 - the annoying '-' vs. '_' bug.
53 Also the cheaders files were missing from the 1.1.1 distribution, that
56 What's new in LyX version 1.1.1?
57 --------------------------------
59 LyX 1.1.1 marks an important change in our development scheme. While
60 it does not have many new features, there have been many internal
61 changes, many of which have been backported from our old development
62 branch (which is now extinct). So while on the surface this version is
63 very similar to version 1.0.4, many things happened under the hood. As
64 a consequence of this: expect that some new bugs have crept in.
66 User visible changes in lyx 1.0.1:
68 - New export to HTML feature
70 - All the popups should be more resistant to resize actions.
72 - normal spaces are automatically made unbreakable if we are in
73 a freespacing mode (LyX-Code), but not in latex mode. The rule used
74 to be that spaces where changed when in typewriter font.
76 - the default encoding of a new document is now latin1, since it seems
77 to be a reasonable default for many people. Note that you can
78 override this default with the "Save layout as default" feature.

155 by the File->Import LaTeX command in LyX.

184 Option->Reconfigure to update LyX configuration.
187 Note that your existing global lyxrc file will not be overwritten by
188 default since now LyX only installs a file lyxrc.example to use as
