-* Unicode
-
-LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew
-of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic
-languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to
-encodings current available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8
-encoding or such brand new typesetting systems as XeTeX.
-Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some
-areas still need a cleanup it is very likely that some bugs related to
-the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known
-bugs in LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related
-to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel
-mailing list.
-
-* Multiple views of the same buffer
-
-LyX can now display multiple views of the same buffer. I.e., you can
-now open a single document in multiple windows and work on different
-parts of it synchronously.
-
-* Outliner
-
-LyX has another long-awaited feature: a basic outliner mode, in which
-you can move chapters and sections around in the Table of Contents
-dialog. (The outliner has been backported and was released with LyX
-1.4.4.)
-
-* Session managment
-
-LyX is now able to remember window size and position and it will
-reopen the documents you worked on last time around. If you've
-selected the feature in the Preferences dialog, it'll even move the
-cursor to the place you were working on last! Furthermore, toolbars
-can (finally!) be switched on/off in View->Toolbars and moved about in
-the LyX window. The session managment will remember their state.
-
-* Source code Viewer
-
-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-outdated components.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.
-
-
-* Glossaries
-
-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 transfered 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.
-
-* 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.
-
-- Add the layout file and an example document for the beamer
- presentation class (these files where taken from the beamer package
- by Till Tantau); new layout file ISPRS (Int. Soc. Photogrammetry &
- Remote Sensing); new layout file for Arabic articles; update layout
- file for REVTeX4 (bug 1215)
-
-- New external template for LilyPond (a music typesetter).
-
-* USER INTERFACE:
-
-- Outline support: it is now possible to move around parts of
- documents in the Table of Contents dialog.
-
-- Add new UI settings default-autotoolbars and default-alltoolbars
- allowing to select what toolbars are active.
-
-- The layout lfun without an argument does now set the layout to the default
- layout of the text class. This is used by a new button "Default" in the
- extra toolbar.
-
-- Add a menu entry for numbered formulas (bug 2901).
-
-- Updates to the european keyboard map (useful for entering accented
- characters on a qwerty keyboard).
-
-* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
-
-- A new manual named "Embedded Objects" is available in the Help menu
- in English and Spanish. It describes in detail tables, graphics,
- floats, notes, and boxes.
-
-- Updated Intro and Extended manual.
-
-- New Galician localization; update Czech, French, German, Hungarian,
- Italian, Romanian and Spanish localization of the interface.
-
-- New Galician translation of the documentation (splash, Intro,
- Tutorial); Update German (all), Hebrew (Intro), Italian
- (Tutorial, UserGuide), and Spanish (Intro) documentation.
-
-
-** Bug fixes:
-*************
-
-* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
-
-- Write inherited colors correctly as "inherit" to the .lyx file. Previously
- they where written as "default", which was then read in as "none".
- Fix some help documents that contained this invalid color.
-
-- Parse the optional argument of the AMS math environments aligned, gathered
- and alignedat.
-
-- Support lgathered and rgathered math environments.
-
-- Fix import of \fullcite commands from LaTeX.
-
-- Update bibliography references when the entry has been changed (bug
- 2744).
-
-- The BibTeX style files (bst files) can now live in paths with spaces
- (bug 2186).
-
-- Fixed undo-and-TOC-navigation bug.
-
-- Fixed layout2layout (spurious tabs), so layout files from 1.3 can be read
- again.
-
-- Revert fix from 1.4.3 for better display of script insets with a nucleus
- with more than one element (like {a'}^{2}), since it was buggy and it is
- very difficult to do it right (bug 2921).
-
-- Re-enable Address paragraph style in AMS article classes (bug 2890).
