+
+ * format incremented to 263: changes in the language names (overdue):
+ brazil -> brazilian
+ portuges -> portuguese
+
+2007-02-16 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 262: Allow ascii \inputencoding
+
+2007-02-14 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 261: \output_changes is now considered
+ even if \tracking_changes is false. This allows to output existing
+ changes even if future changes are not tracked anymore.
+ The old combination
+
+ \tracking_changes false
+ \output_changes true
+
+ is therefore converted to
+
+ \tracking_changes false
+ \output_changes false
+
+ on upgrade. Nothing is done on downgrade since the new behaviour is
+ not supported in older formats.
+
+2007-02-13 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 260: Allow utf8x \inputencoding
+
+2007-02-12 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 259:
+ Old: Spaces at start or end of font changes were output outside of
+ the font change, i.e. not 'xx\textbf{ yy }zz', but
+ 'xx \textbf{yy} zz'.
+ New: Spaces are always output with the font set by the user.

+2007-01-31 Uwe Stöhr
+
+ * format incremented to 258: new \lyxline definition
+ Old:
+ \\newcommand{\\lyxline}[1]{
+ {#1 \\vspace{1ex} \\hrule width \\columnwidth \\vspace{1ex}}
+ }
+ New:
+ \\newcommand{\\lyxline}[1][1pt]{%
+ \\par\\noindent%
+ \\rule[.5ex]{\\linewidth}{#1}\\par}
+ The new definition is more robust, see bug 1988 and now really takes care about
+ the fontsize: \lyxline{\Huge} produces now a thicker line then \lyxline{\normalfont}
+
+2007-01-29 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 257: Caption styles have been replaced by
+ InsetCaption. This is at the same time also a layout file format
+ change to format 3. layout2layout removes caption layouts from old
+ styles.
+ Note that InsetCaption did exist before this format, but was never
+ used. Old files containing do nevertheless still work.
+ Of course users can still define a Caption style in layout files,
+ but the special treatment in LyX is gone (apart from the sensitive
+ label property).
+
+2006-12-22 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 256: allow some new inputenc settings.
+ For the complete list, see lib/lyx2lyx/lyx_1_5.py.
+
+2006-11-25 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 255: new insets for \clearpage and
+ \cleardoublepage. They are written inline to the file, exactly like
+ \newpage.
+
+2006-11-13 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 254: new header parameter \use_esint.
+ It can have the same values as \use_amsmath: 0 (off), 1 (auto) and
+ 2 (on).
+
+2006-10-18 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 253: new nomenclature and printnomenclature
+ insets. These are standard InsetCommand with the following parameters:
+ \nomenclature[prefix]{symbol}{description}
+ \printnomenclature[labelwidth]
+
+2006-10-15 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 252: changed command inset syntax
+
+ Old:
+
+ \begin_inset LatexCommand \cmdname[opt1][opt2]{arg}
+ preview true
+ \end_inset
+
+ and
+
+ \bibitem [opt1]{arg}
+
+
+ New:
+
+ \begin_inset LatexCommand cmdname
+ name1 "opt1"
+ name2 "opt2"
+ name3 "arg"
+ preview true
+ \end_inset
+
+ The order of the parameters and for each parameter the name and
+ optional/required bit is now stored in InsetCommandParams.
+
+2006-10-03 Jürgen Spitzmüller <j.spitzmueller@gmx.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 251: save show_label param for charstyles.
+
+ On revert, the show_label param is just removed. Nothing to convert.
+
+2006-10-12 Martin Vermeer <martin.vermeer@hut.fi>
+
+ * Format incremented to 250: allow optional arg to environments
+
+ No material format change. Now optargs for environments are allowed
+ to be specified in layout files and will be handled properly. When
+ converted back to older formats, they will be ignored in LaTeX
+ output.
+
+2006-08-14 Georg Baum <Georg.Baum@post.rwth-aachen.de>
+
+ * format incremented to 249: Unicode
+
+ LyX documents are now always encoded in utf8. The value of
+ \inputencoding does now only determine the encoding of the created
+ LaTeX file.
+ Up to format 248 the value of \inputencoding did also determine the
+ encoding of the LyX file:
+
+ \inputencoding LyX file encoding
+ auto as determined by the document and character
+ languages
+ default ditto
+ everything else as determined by \inputencoding
+
+ The difference between auto and default is only the LaTeX output:
+ auto causes loading of the inputenc package, default does not.
