really begin to pay off. It should prove to be a very solid base for
further developments. As of this version, we use (yet another) new
versioning scheme: next major version will be 1.3.0, and 1.2.x will

and 1.1.6).
This version sees the introduction of the so-called `new' insets,
are now possible:

+ positional parameters of figure, table and algorithm floats can be set
float-by-float
-- Most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been resolved
- (memory consumption, spell-checking, search and replace...)
+- Most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been addressed
+ (memory consumption, file bloat, spell-checking, search and replace...).
+ Better longtable header/footer support was implemented.
- TeX mode has been superseded by the ERT inset, which is foldable, or
can be shown inline
- New minipage inset
+Note that another consequence of these changes is that older LyX
+versions will almost certainly fail to read files produced by LyX
+1.2.0.

Other more traditional insets have been improved too:
cleanup, but it turns out that many new features happened in this
process, among which:
-- possibility to display arbitrary TeX symbols as long as the fonts are

- support for many amsmath features
+ Commands: xrightarrow, xleftarrow, substack, underset, dddot
+ over/under arrows (e.g. underleftarrow).
+ Environments: align, alignat, xalignat, xxalignat, multline, gather
+ split, gathered, aligned, cases, subarray, pmatrix, bmatrix, vmatrix,
+ Vmatrix
+
+- Preliminary support for xymatrix
+
+- Support for horizontal and vertical lines in arrays.
- Improvements to the parser
- (Better) support for nested macros
-- (Better) support for \limits/\nolimits
