-As a kind of "anti-preview-latex", a dialog was implemented that lets
-you view the source code of a given paragraph/selection or the whole
-document.
-
-* New Font Selection Interface
-
-LyX's font selection abilities have been one of its weakest and most
-outdated components. A completely new interface was implemented that
-provides access to the power of LaTeX's font selection scheme.
-
-* Tabular extensions
-
-LyX's table support is certainly less powerful than that of
-LaTeX. support for the booktabs package was implemented, which
-provides beautiful and elegant tabulars.
-
-
-* Nomenclatures
-
-Native LyX support for the nomencl package was implemented. With this,
-you can treat your document with all sorts of nomenclatures,
-glossaries and fancy notations.
-
-* Tabbed Widget
-
-LyX now uses tabbed widgets to display multiple documents.
-
-* Frontend News
-
-LyX 1.5 will use the Qt4 toolkit. This is especially good news for
-Windows users, since there's an official, GPL version of Qt4. They no
-longer have to rely on an unofficial port of the Unix Qt3 library to
-Windows. The good old XForms frontend went the way of the dodo. It
-was both hated and loved, and certainly shaped the unique look of LyX
-in the past. It was finally killed off, however, by the switch to
-unicode. The Qt3 frontend was removed. The work on the GTK frontend
-has been transferred to a branch because its development has
-essentially stalled.
-
-* Change tracking enhancements
-
-Major parts of the change tracking code were rewrote addressing
-several problems that existed in the existing implementation.
-
-* Converter file cache
-
-A cache for converted files, such as included figures, was
-implemented. This can speed up LyX's performance considerably when
-displaying documents with many included figures that need conversion
-to a format that can be rendered on screen. The converter file cache
-is disabled by default, and there is no GUI for configuring it yet. If
-you want to use it, add the line
- \use_converter_cache true
-
-to your preferences file. The default maximum age of a cached file is
-6 months. You can change that with the line
- \converter_cache_maxage xxx
-
-where xxx is the maximum age in seconds.
-
-* Unified Windows installer
-
-The two windows installers are being merged and bug reports regarding
-both installers are welcome.
-
-* Under the hood
-
-As usual, one big task has been the ongoing code cleanup of the LyX
-core. Performing this cleanup makes the code more understandable and
-easier to maintain. It also leads inevitably to a more robust
-application. Nonetheless, it's an unfortunate fact of life that ugly
-code is sometimes faster than pretty code. We're well aware that LyX
-1.4 is slower than LyX 1.3. One important goal of this 1.5 development
-series has been to bring this speed back.

-What's new in version 1.4.4?
-----------------------------
-
-** Updates:
-***********
-
-* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
-
-- Improve Computer Algebra System support in math editor.
-
-- Add support for fixed size math delimiters in math editor.
-
-- Convert included vector graphics to pdf instead of png for pdflatex export
- (bug 2868). This is implemented with the help of a new format flag "vector"
- that you have to set manually for your self defined vector graphics formats
- if you want to use this feature.
-
-- Add a wmf -> eps converter (bug 2845) and a latex -> rtf converter.
