==========

** Updates:
***********

* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT



* MISCELLANEOUS



* TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS



* USER INTERFACE

- If the bibliography processor requested by a document is not available, do not
  silently fall back to default. Rather than that, warn the user, keep the requested
  processor and only fall back to an alternative at processing stage.

  does not move the cursor out of the whole equation anymore and is now

  into an equation, instead of simply as text (bug 11539).
