1 LyX file-format changes
2 -----------------------
3 2007-06-13 Bo Peng <ben.bob@gmail.com>
4 * format incremented to 273: add --Separator-- environment to
5 separate consecutive environments
7 2007-06-13 Bo Peng <bpeng@lyx.org>
8 * format incremented to 272: convert listings to ERT because
9 earlier versions of lyx can not handle unrecognizable
12 2007-05-15 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
13 * format incremented to 271: extended textclasses accept the
14 normal font sizes: 10, 11 and 12pt.
16 2007-05-14 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@tkk.fi>
17 * format incremented to 270: support beamer \alert, \structure
19 2007-05-08 Bo Peng <ben.bob@gmail.com>
20 * format incremented to 269: add listings support
21 - add preamble flag \listings_params, e.g. \listings_params "language=Python,float"
22 - add inset listings, with options lstparams and inline, e.g.
24 lstparams "xleftmargin=50pt,language=Python"
26 - add \lstinputlisting Include type. e.g.
27 \begin_inset Include \lstinputlisting{newfile1.lyx}[firstline=10,lastline=15]
29 2007-05-06 Uwe Stöhr <uwestoehr@web.de>
31 * format incremented to 268: add support for the CJK encodings
32 - all encodings supported by CJK.sty are now in lib/encodings
33 - lib/encoding has got two new flags:
35 "inputenc" for those languages that use the inputenc-package and
36 "CJK" for the CJK encodings
37 - "fixed"/"variable" to divide between multi- or single-byte encoding
38 - lib/languages allows now to set an empty language for babel
39 in this case babel isn't called.
41 2007-05-04 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
43 * format incremented to 267: add plain utf8 encoding (for XeTeX).
45 2007-04-29 Uwe Stöhr <uwestoehr@web.de>
47 * format incremented to 266:
48 Support for the Armenian language
50 2007-04-26 Uwe Stöhr <uwestoehr@web.de>
52 * format incremented to 265: fix LyX's table border line handling
53 With the fix (see bug 1746) LyX now takes care if the user has entered
54 a "|" character in the argument field of tables. Therefore the "|"
55 character has to be removed when also a table border is set.
57 2007-04-24 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
59 * format incremented to 264:
60 textclass cv is renamed simplecv
62 2007-02-22 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
64 * format incremented to 263: changes in the language names (overdue):
66 portuges -> portuguese
68 2007-02-16 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
70 * format incremented to 262: Allow ascii \inputencoding
72 2007-02-14 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
74 * format incremented to 261: \output_changes is now considered
75 even if \tracking_changes is false. This allows to output existing
76 changes even if future changes are not tracked anymore.
79 \tracking_changes false
82 is therefore converted to
84 \tracking_changes false
87 on upgrade. Nothing is done on downgrade since the new behaviour is
88 not supported in older formats.
90 2007-02-13 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
92 * format incremented to 260: Allow utf8x \inputencoding
94 2007-02-12 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
96 * format incremented to 259:
97 Old: Spaces at start or end of font changes were output outside of
98 the font change, i.e. not 'xx\textbf{ yy }zz', but
100 New: Spaces are always output with the font set by the user.
102 2007-01-31 Uwe Stöhr <uwestoehr@web.de>
104 * format incremented to 258: new \lyxline definition
106 \\newcommand{\\lyxline}[1]{
107 {#1 \\vspace{1ex} \\hrule width \\columnwidth \\vspace{1ex}}
110 \\newcommand{\\lyxline}[1][1pt]{%
112 \\rule[.5ex]{\\linewidth}{#1}\\par}
113 The new definition is more robust, see bug 1988 and now really takes care about
114 the fontsize: \lyxline{\Huge} produces now a thicker line then \lyxline{\normalfont}
116 2007-01-29 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
118 * format incremented to 257: Caption styles have been replaced by
119 InsetCaption. This is at the same time also a layout file format
120 change to format 3. layout2layout removes caption layouts from old
122 Note that InsetCaption did exist before this format, but was never
123 used. Old files containing do nevertheless still work.
124 Of course users can still define a Caption style in layout files,
125 but the special treatment in LyX is gone (apart from the sensitive
128 2006-12-22 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
130 * format incremented to 256: allow some new inputenc settings.
131 For the complete list, see lib/lyx2lyx/lyx_1_5.py.
133 2006-11-25 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
135 * format incremented to 255: new insets for \clearpage and
136 \cleardoublepage. They are written inline to the file, exactly like
139 2006-11-13 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
141 * format incremented to 254: new header parameter \use_esint.
142 It can have the same values as \use_amsmath: 0 (off), 1 (auto) and
145 2006-10-18 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
147 * format incremented to 253: new nomenclature and printnomenclature
148 insets. These are standard InsetCommand with the following parameters:
149 \nomenclature[prefix]{symbol}{description}
150 \printnomenclature[labelwidth]
152 2006-10-15 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
154 * format incremented to 252: changed command inset syntax
158 \begin_inset LatexCommand \cmdname[opt1][opt2]{arg}
169 \begin_inset LatexCommand cmdname
176 The order of the parameters and for each parameter the name and
177 optional/required bit is now stored in InsetCommandParams.
179 2006-10-03 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
181 * format incremented to 251: save show_label param for charstyles.
183 On revert, the show_label param is just removed. Nothing to convert.
185 2006-10-12 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
187 * Format incremented to 250: allow optional arg to environments
189 No material format change. Now optargs for environments are allowed
190 to be specified in layout files and will be handled properly. When
191 converted back to older formats, they will be ignored in LaTeX
194 2006-08-14 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
196 * format incremented to 249: Unicode
198 LyX documents are now always encoded in utf8. The value of
199 \inputencoding does now only determine the encoding of the created
201 Up to format 248 the value of \inputencoding did also determine the
202 encoding of the LyX file:
204 \inputencoding LyX file encoding
205 auto as determined by the document and character
208 everything else as determined by \inputencoding
210 The difference between auto and default is only the LaTeX output:
211 auto causes loading of the inputenc package, default does not.
213 2006-07-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
215 * format incremented to 248: Basic booktabs support
217 The <features> tag has a new switch: booktabs="true|false".
218 An absent switch is equivalent to booktabs="false".
219 Horizontal lines are set with the booktabs package if this switch
222 The <row> tag of tabulars has the following new attributes:
223 topspace, bottomspace and interlinespace. All take a LyXLength
224 as value, or the special keyword "default".
226 2006-06-10 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
228 * format incremented to 247. The Grand Font Interface Rewrite.
229 (1) Split font selection to rm, sf, tt:
230 \fontscheme -> \font_roman, \font_sans, \font_typewriter
232 \fontscheme \font_roman \font_sans \font_typewriter
233 default default default default
234 ae ae default default
235 times times default default
236 palatino palatino default default
237 helvet default helvet default
238 avant default avant default
239 newcent newcent default default
240 bookman bookman default default
241 pslatex times (or \usepackage{pslatex})
243 \font_roman: cmr (-> \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmr}),
244 lmodern, charter, utopia, ccfonts, chancery, beraserif
245 (-> \usepackage{<name>})
246 \font_sans: cmss, lmss, cmbr
247 (-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{<name>})
248 berasans (-> \usepackage{<name>})
249 \font_typewriter: cmtt, lmtt, cmtl,
250 (-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{<name>})
251 courier, luximono, beramono
252 (-> \usepackage{<name>})
253 (2) New param \font_default_family (rmdefault, sfdefault, ttdefault)
254 (3) New param \font_sc (true, false).
255 (4) New param \font_osf (true, false).
256 (5) New param \font_sf_scale (float)
257 (6) New param \font_tt_scale (float)
258 Support for the following fonts has been added:
259 bera, ccfonts, chancery, charter, cmbright, computer modern (explicitely),
260 courier, lmodern, luximono, utopia.
261 Support for the following font has been removed:
262 pslatex (it's superseded by mathptmx (times)).
264 2006-06-03 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
266 * format incremented to 246. The framed.sty package is
267 now supported with note types framed and shaded.
269 2005-10-12 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
271 * format incremented to 245. The \quotes_times parameter
274 2005-09-24 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
276 * format incremented to 244. Rename '\InsetSpace \,'
277 to '\InsetSpace \thinspace{}', because the comma was
278 not parsed by lyxlex, and '\InsetSpace \space' to
279 '\InsetSpace \space{}' in favour of consistency.
281 2005-07-18 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
283 * format incremented to 243.
285 * this change only affects the preamble, the paperpackage
286 option was removed and papersize is changed to default.
288 2005-06-21 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgouttes@lyx.org>
290 * format incremented to 242. There is no file format per
291 se, but the "frenchb" language has been removed from lib/language
292 and has to be translated to "french" by lyx2lyx.
294 2005-02-03 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
296 * format incremented to 241.
298 All following changes apply only to text in ERT insets. The
299 rationale is that text in ERT is simply ASCII text, and nothing more.
301 * paragraph breaks are now a single newline in latex and not a
302 paragraph break anymore (bug 698).
303 * \newline is not allowed anymore, because it is redundant (see above)
304 * layouts other than Standard, paragraph parameters and font changes
305 are not allowed anymore. They never made sense and were ignored for
306 latex output, but now they can't be read or set anymore (bug 922).
309 2005-01-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmüller@gmx.de>
311 * format incremented to 240.
313 \output_changes {true|false}
314 (should the change tracking marks be visible in the output or not?)
315 * lyx2lyx should just delete the param in 239.
317 2005-01-06 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
319 * format incremented to 239.
320 * the paragraph parameters are displayed in their own line. This
321 change is consistent with the insets behaviour, and corresponds
322 to a more uniform treatment of the paragraphs since some of them
323 had already their own line.
325 An example of a single paragraph follows:
327 \begin_layout Standard
328 \paragraph_spacing single
334 2004-12-03 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
336 * format incremented to 238.
337 * The compatibility code to read old latex accents from 0.12.x in
338 InsetLatexAccent::checkContents has been removed.
339 The following translations are done:
341 "\i \xy" -> "\i \x{y}"
342 "\i \x y" -> "\i \x{y}"
343 "\i \x\i" -> "\i \x{\i}"
344 "\i \x\j" -> "\i \x{\j}"
345 x is a latex accent command, y the base character. \, i and j are
347 lyx did these changes already from 0.12.x -> 215, but not lyx2lyx,
348 so formats 215 - 237 can have both versions.
351 2004-10-10 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
353 * format incremented to 237.
354 * In the header, the following statments use now booleans values,
360 2004-08-15 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
362 * format incremented to 236.
369 * The options for \papersize are changed:
372 * All whitespaces are removed at the end of lines, when
373 not necessary. As an example we have all the lines in the header that
374 do not belong to the preamble.
376 2004-07-01 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
378 * format incremented to 235.
379 * \paperpackage had an off-by-one error. Translation table:
381 234: a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
382 235: none a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
384 The "widemarginsa4" setting of 235 has no equivalent in 234.
386 2004-05-12 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
388 * format incremented to 234.
389 * the citation engine is specified explicitly rather than being
390 deduced from 3 bools.
393 \use_numerical_citations 0 -> \cite_engine <style>
396 where <style> is one of "basic", "natbib_authoryear",
397 "natbib_numerical" or "jurabib".
399 2004-04-29 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
401 * format incremented to 233.
402 * insetgraphics does not allow filenames without extension anymore.
403 The complete filename has to be given.
405 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
407 * format incremented to 232.
409 * Support for bibtopic (sectioned bibliographies).
410 - bufferparam \use_bibtopic [1|0]
411 - the bibtex inset has a second argument for bibtopic's
412 btPrint{Cited|NotCited|All} command:
414 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>]{<database>}
416 \begin_inset LatexCommand \bibtex[<style>][<btPrintX>]{<database>}
417 Forwards, there's nothing to be done. Backwards, \usepackage[dot]{bibtopic}
418 has to be inserted to the preamble. Instead of the bibtex inset, the LaTeX
419 \bibliographystyle{<style>}
420 \begin{btSect}{<database>}
425 2004-03-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
427 * format incremented to 231.
429 * Support for sidewaysfigure/sidewaystable (rotating package).
430 insetfloat has now a param \sideways [true|false] (default is false).
431 The param should be erased on downwards conversion, if it was true,
432 the inset should be replaced by
433 \begin{sidewaysfigure} <content> \end{sidewaysfigure}
435 \begin{sidewaystable} <content> \end{sidewaystable}
438 2004-02-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
440 * format incremented to 230.
442 * Support for a second optional argument in insetcommand.
443 currently, citation uses this to support natbibs second
444 optional argument \cite[before][after]{key}.
445 I think there's nothing to convert upwards. Downwards, the
446 commands with 2 optional args need to be converted to ERT.
448 * Support for jurabib (param \use_jurabib [1|0], default is 0).
449 When converting downwards, \usepackage{jurabib} has to be added
450 to the preamble and, if babel is used, \usepackage{babel} before
451 (jurabib fails if babel is called afterwards). If the natbib commands
452 are used together with jurabib, they have to be converted to ERT too.
454 2003-12-29 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
456 * format incremented to 229.
457 * Minipages cannot be read anymore. All minipage insets will
458 be converted to frameless box insets between 228->229.
460 2003-12-15 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
462 * format incremented to 228.
463 * Change the output of all insets derived from InsetCollapsable
464 except for InsetERT (which has a similar output already), changing lines
465 "collapsed true" -> "status collapsed"
466 "collapsed false" -> "status open".
467 * Change the output of InsetERT, changing lines
468 "status Collapsed" -> "status collapsed"
469 "status Open" -> "status open".
470 "status Inlined" -> "status inlined".
472 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
474 * format NOT incremented.
475 * add a 'draft' option to InsetExternal.
477 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
479 * format incremented to 227.
480 * Change the output of InsetBox:
481 \begin_inset Boxed -> \begin_inset Box Boxed
482 \begin_inset Doublebox -> \begin_inset Box Doublebox
483 \begin_inset Frameless -> \begin_inset Box Frameless
484 \begin_inset ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box ovalbox
485 \begin_inset Ovalbox -> \begin_inset Box Ovalbox
486 \begin_inset Shadowbox -> \begin_inset Box Shadowbox
488 2003-12-10 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
490 * format incremented to 226.
491 * Change the output of InsetNote:
492 \begin_inset Note -> \begin_inset Note Note
493 \begin_inset Comment -> \begin_inset Note Comment
494 \begin_inset Greyedout -> \begin_inset Note Greyedout
496 2003-11-28 André Pönitz
498 * Remove space_above/space_below from Paragraph.
499 This is now handled by InsetVSpace.
501 2003-10-07 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
503 * Add transformations to InsetExternal
505 boundingBox 0 0 20 20 the dimensions of the B.B..
506 Output if the B.B. is not empty.
507 clip clip the image to the B.B.
509 extra LaTeX "draft" 'extra' data passed to the primary
510 command for this output format.
511 (Possible formats LaTeX, PDFLaTeX,
512 LinuxDoc, DocBook, Ascii.)
513 The string can contain spaces and so
515 rotateAngle 30 Rotation of the data.
516 Output for non-zero rotation only.
517 rotateOrigin bottomleft Rotation origin.
518 Output for non-zero rotation and
519 non-default origin (center) only.
521 width 2cm Output only if the image is resized.
525 2003-10-07 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
527 * Added box inset. File format:
529 \begin_inset Ovalbox Boxed/Frameless/ovalbox/Ovalbox
534 inner_pos "b" t/c/b/s
536 width "100col%" unit+width-string
537 special "none" none/height/depth
539 height "1in" unit+width-string
540 height_special "totalheight" none/height/depth
542 collapsed false true/false
544 \begin_layout Standard
551 This box (Frameless, has_inner_box=1, use_parbox=0) replaces
552 the pre-existing Minipage inset. Parameters translate as follows:
553 position 0/1/2 -> t/c/b
554 inner_position 0/1/2/3 -> inner_pos c/t/b/s
559 2003-08-19 Michael Schmitt <michael.schmitt@teststep.org>
561 * attribute valignment="center" is replaced by valignment="middle"
562 for tabular columns and cells
564 2003-08-17 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
566 * Added branch inset. File format:
568 branch definition in the header:
574 \begin_inset Branch <branchname>
575 collapsed false true/false
577 \begin_layout Standard
584 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
586 * \the_end is replaced with \end_document
588 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@lyx.org>
590 * \layout is replaced with \begin_layout
592 2003-07-28 José Matos <jamatos@fep.up.pt>
596 * All layouts finish now with \end_layout
598 2003-06-04 Angus Leeming <leeming@lyx.org>
602 * the storage of the external inset has been changed from
604 \begin_inset External XFig,"file.fig",""
610 \begin_inset External
613 display <display_type>
618 throwing away the final arg (here "", more generally "<string>") that holds
619 the parameters variable.
620 Variables are output if present (filename) or different from the default
621 values (display, lyxscale).
623 Moreover, the RasterImage template has been scrapped. All RasterImage
624 external insets are now converted to Graphics insets.
626 2003-05-20 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
628 * Added new space insets:
629 \SpecialChar ~ is now \InsetSpace ~
630 ERT: "\ " could be converted to InsetSpace \<space>
631 ERT: "\," could be converted to InsetSpace \,
633 2003-04-24 André Pönitz <poenitz@gmx.net>
635 * Added eqref support:
636 \begin_inset LatexCommand \eqref{label}
638 2003-03-14 Dekel Tsur
640 * Format bumped to 223.
642 2003-03-12 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
644 * Added \\end_header to signify the end of the header in a
647 * use_amsmath is now a tristate {0 = never, 1 = auto, 2 = always}
649 2003-02-10 John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>
653 Added \\tracking_changes 0|1 to the header.
655 Added \\author to the header. This can be present multiple
656 times, and is of the form :
658 \\author "Real Name" email@address.com
660 Added \\change_deleted, \\change_inserted. Each of these does not
661 span a paragraph, and is delimited by "\\change_unchanged\n". Both are
664 \\change_inserted author time
666 where author is an integer ID reference into the author list in
667 the header, and time is time_t.
669 2002-10-24 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
671 * InsetGraphicsParams.h (scale): is now a float, not an unsigned int.
673 2002-08-22 Rob Lahaye <lahaye@snu.ac.kr>
675 New graphics dialog. With the removal of buttons in the dialog, also
676 keywords in the graphics inset went. The following keywords do not
686 Only non-default values are saved to the lyx files. The defaults of the remaining
696 BoundingBox <from file>
699 rotateOrigin centerBaseline
701 subcaptionText <empty>
704 The remaining keywords have sufficient overlap with the old ones for a
705 smooth reading of the 1.2.x inset keywords in most common cases.
707 Compatibility is certainly broken for the old lyxwidth/lyxheight keywords.
708 They don't exist anymore and we can't translate them into a scaling value, while
709 we're reading the graphics inset. The old lyxwidth/lyxheight keyword and its
710 argument is ignored and lost.
712 Only few compatibility issues are left for lyx2lyx:
714 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

727 If "rotate" is absent, lyx2lyx should ignore "rotateAngle <val>":
728 if ( "rotateAngle <val>" is there WITHOUT being preceded by the keyword "rotate" )
730 replace "rotateAngle <val>" by "rotateAngle 0"

735 Added \lyxlock for locked math inset when written to .lyx file.
736 When "downgrading" .lyx files this should simple be deleted but it
737 does not hurt at all if it stays in. It does not have to be added

743 Added a boolean "preview" flag to InsetCommandParams.
744 Currently it is written only by InsetInclude, because only this
745 class can generate a preview of its contents.
747 The LyX file now contains:
749 \begin_inset Include \input{snapshot_t=40.tex}
754 Earlier versions of LyX just swallow this extra token silently.

758 The 1.2.0 InsetGraphicsParams "size_type" and "lyxsize_type" have been
759 renamed as "size_kind" and "lyxsize_kind" respectively.
