+What's new in version 1.5.3?
+----------------------------
+
+** Updates:
+***********
+
+* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
+
+- Updated Czech, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
+ Norwegian, Spanish and Traditional Chinese translations of the user
+ interface.
+
+- New Spanish translation of the example file "ItemizeBullets.lyx".
+
+- New French translation of the EmbeddedObjects manual.
+
+- Updated French introduction manual and User's Guide.
+
+- Revised Tutorial
+
+
+* USER INTERFACE
+
+- The way collapsable insets (footnotes, comments etc) are widened has
+ seen a complete overhaul in order to speedup painting when typing
+ within insets. Now these insets take the whole screen width as soon
+ as they contain more than one row of text. Users of Mac/PPC and of
+ Unices with slow X11 server should feel a significant boost in
+ performance thanks to this change.
+
+- The pixmap cache that was introduced in LyX 1.5.2 to improve performance
+ can now be switched on and off in Preferences, since it might decrease
+ on-screen display quality of fonts (subpixel hinting). By default, the
+ cache is disabled. If you experience performance problems, turn in on
+ (Mac and Windows only).
+
+- The behaviour of Return and M-Return has changed: they now allow to either
+ keep current paragraph and depth or to nesting paragraph (bug 2445).
+
+- Add the esint font to the private math fonts. This font assures a
+ consistent on screen looking for all kinds of supported integral signs.
+
+- The slides/foils of presentation classes such as beamer, powerdot, foils
+ and slides are now displayed in the outliner. This makes it easy to navigate
+ to specific slides or move them up and down (bug 78).
+
+- It is now possible to enter greek and cyrillic characters and have them
+ typeset without switching to the proper language.
+
+- Add native Erlang support for listings (bug 4263).
+
+- The on-screen representation of charstyle insets has been polished:
+ they now integrate better in the line. Furthermore, their label is
+ not displayed anymore by default (it can be toggled globally by
+ "View->Open all Insets" and individually by clicking the right mouse
+ button). As a new type of information, the type of a charstyle inset
+ is now displayed in the status bar when the mouse hovers over it.
+
+- Inset-dissolve now works in mathed.
+
+- Placeholders have been moved from the miscellaneous to the spacings section
+ in the math toolbar.
+
+
+* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
+
+- tex2lyx now imports the following LaTeX commands and environments:
+ - \newline
+ - environments "framed" and "shaded" from package framed.sty (i.e. framed
+ and shaded notes in LyX)
+ - \selectlanguage, \foreignlanguage, and \inputencoding (bug 27).
+ - all font settings that are natively supported by LyX.
+ - all quotation marks (bug 2703).
+
+- xdg-open and sensible-editor are now detected as possible viewer (wrappers).
+

+ bugs were fixed and some new styles were added (bugs 4087, 4223).
+ Cf. http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/AMS for a detailed list of changes.
+
+- New LyX functions, master-buffer-view and master-buffer-update, have
+ been added, to view the master buffer associated with a given child
+ buffer. These are bound by default to C-M-t and C-M-d, for Postscript
+ and DVI, respectively, for view, and to C-M-S-t and C-M-S-d, for update.

+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.0?
+----------------------------

+some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
+
+* 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 currently available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8
+encoding or a brand new typesetting system such 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 on the 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.
+
+* Integrated CJK support
+
+The very first result of the Unicode transition is that we have finally
+merged in the externally maintained CJK-LyX branch.
+The languages Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are now supported in
+the user interface.
+Note that setting the encoding for these languages in LyX 1.5 by
+using ERT or the document preamble will lead to LaTeX-errors!
+Also note that you may need to run qtconfig and set appropriate default
+or substitution fonts to display CJK characters under some circumstances.
+
+* Language support
+
+In addition to the CJK languages, the languages Armenian and Farsi also
+have full user interface support.
+
+* 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 and embedded TOC
+
+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.) The TOC dialog is now a dock widget, embedded in the main window.
+
+* Session management
+
+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 management 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 has been implemented,
+providing beautiful and elegant tabulars.
+
+* Nomenclatures
+
+LyX now has native support for the nomencl package. 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.
+
+* Enhanced Math Toolbars
+
+The math toolbar was enhanced significantly. Drop down menus were
+added, allowing the integration of all of the math panel's content
+to the math toolbars.
+Since this input method is much easier than the clumsy panel, the math
+panel itself has been removed and superceded by the toolbars.
+
+* Frontend News
+
+LyX 1.5 uses the Qt4 toolkit. This is especially good news for
+Windows users, because 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 also 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 have been rewritten, addressing
+several problems that existed in the previous implementation.
+
+* Converter file cache
+
+A cache for converted files, such as included figures, has been
+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 enabled by default.
+
+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, in your preferences file.
+
+* Unified Windows installer
+
+The two windows installers are being merged and bug reports regarding
+both installers are welcome.
+
+* Program listings
+
+The traditional way to insert program listings in LyX involves the use
+of the LyX-Code style. This option works quite well for short snippets but
+does not support in-line code segments or the inclusion of external files.
+
+Using the listings latex package as the backend a new inset was added that
+supports all these three ways of listing computer programs.
+
+* LaTeX-package support
+
+LyX provides the following new document classes:
+ - article(IOP) - for scientific papers published by the IOP group
+ - presentation(powerdot) - for presentations using the powerdot package
+ - curriculum vitae(Europe) - for CVs following the guidelines of the EU
+ - curriculum vitae(modern) - for CVs using the moderncv package
+ - curriculum vitae(simple) - for simple CVs
+
+* Minor user interface improvements
+
+Several minor improvements of the user interface have been made, such as:
+
+ - Syntax highlighting of the user preamble and the LaTeX log file.
+ - Better parsing of BibTeX databases (in the citation dialog).
+ - Support for optional arguments for environments.
+
+* Enhanced clipboard/selection handling
+
+The clipboard has been tuned to work better with other applications.
+Parallel to clipboard usages, the *nix way of using middle-button
+to paste selected text is enhanced, and is also available under windows
+(but within lyx only). Selection of lyx text is now persistent in that
+you can paste the selected text using the middle button multiple times,
+even after the selection has been cleared.
+
+* Limited support for local class and layout files
+
+Lyx can not create, but can open a .lyx file with .cls and .layout files
+stored in the same directory as the .lyx file. That is to say, if you send
+your co-author a .lyx file with associated class and layout files, s/he
+can view and modify the .lyx file directly, without having to install the
+.cls and .layout files, reconfigure and restart lyx. Note that the .cls and
+.layout files have to be copied to every directory your .lyx files reside,
+should you use different directories for master and child documents.
+
+* 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.
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+Lots of long-lasting bugs have been fixed, as documented in LyX
+bugzilla. Probably some new ones have been introduced instead ;-)
+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.0 (release candidate 2)
+----------------------------
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.0 (release candidate 2).
+We expect this to be the last release before 1.5.0. We do not anticipate
+any further changes before 1.5.0, although any critical bugs and regressions
+in 1.5.0rc2 will, of course, be addressed.
+
+Since the announcement of release candidate 1, we have mostly fixed bugs
+and polished the graphical interface.
+
+What's new in version 1.5.0 (release candidate 1)
+----------------------------
+
+The difference to the last beta release is due to bug fixes only,
+no new features are allowed at this stage of development. The only
+exception to this rule is the addition of Farsi as a supported language
+since the available patch was not integrated in the previous release.
+
+What's new in version 1.5.0 (beta 3)?
+----------------------------
+
+Compared with the previous beta release we have fixed several bugs
+and added some improvements:
+
+ * A new inset to support code listings.
+ * We have enabled the converter file cache by default.
+ * The languages Armenian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are now supported in
+ the user interface.
+ Note that from now on, former encoding settings for these languages
+ done via ERT or the document preamble will lead to LaTeX-errors!
+
+Internally we have renamed files to follow a consistent name pattern,
+this will allow an easier navigation of the source code thus simplifying
+bug fixing.
+
+What's new in version 1.5.0 (beta 2)?
+----------------------------
+
+Compared with the previous beta release we have fixed several bugs and
+added some graphical improvements:
+ * A new math toolbar replaces the old (faithful) math panel.
+ * The converter file cache can be now configured in the graphical interface.
+ * The TOC dialog is now a dock widget, embedded in the main window.
+
+Apart from the described major changes, several minor improvements of
+the user interface have been made, such as:
+
+ - Syntax highlighting for the user preamble and the LaTeX log file
+ - Better parsing of BibTeX databases (in the citation dialog)
+ - Support optional argument for environments
+
+What's new in version 1.5.0 (beta 1)?

+
+What's new in version 1.4.5.1?
+------------------------------
+
+The only change over release 1.4.5 is the addition to the distribution
+of one file necessary to read and write lyx 1.5 files.
+

+- On Mac OS X, make sure to view files with the same application as
+ the Finder uses.
+
+- The natbib labels weren't always displayed correctly when opening
+ a document. This is fixed.
+
+- Allow double values for graphics' bounding box parameters again
+ (bug 3055). This also fixes problems with older LyX files
+ (bug 3066) [qt only].
+
+- Rename lib/ui/std*.ui include files to *.inc so that the user is not

+
+- Fix Free Software Foundation address.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.4.3?
+----------------------------
+
+** Updates:
+
+- All shell scripts have been translated to python so sh.exe is no
+ longer needed. That's a big plus for the Windows port.
+
+- Implement inset-dissolve feature; this can be accessed (like in
+ mathed) by pressing Backspace at the start of an inset, or Delete at
+ the end (bug 2201).
+
+- Add buttons for \intop and \ointop to the math panel (bug 2698)
+
+- Native support for \phantom, \hphantom and \vphantom in mathed (bug 1473).
+
+- Some small updates to the documentation.
+
+- Update Basque, Czech (new), French, German (bug 2718), Hungarian,
+ Italian (bug 2774), NyNorsk and Spanish localizations.
+
+- Update Czech (Tutorial, new splash), German (UserGuide [bug 2660], Extended)
+ and Hungarian (new Tutorial) documentation.
+
+** Bug fixes:
+
+* Document Input/Output
+
+- Fix a crash when importing LaTeX files with no text (bug 2667).
+
+- Fix a crash when a used bibtex file is in a non-readable directory
+ (bug 2782).
+
+- Fix a crash when lyx2lyx failed to convert LyX file.
+
+- Ignore the definition of LyXgreyout environment when re-importing a
+ LyX-generated LaTeX file (part of bug 2420).
+
+- When exporting to LaTeX an external inset with template XFig,
+ require the color package, since XFig generates LaTeX code with
+ \color (bug 2716).
+
+- Make sure enough passes are made to update the table of contents
+ when running LaTeX (bug 2616).
+
+- Don't add extra braces when reading documents containing \choose,
+ \atop or \over (bug 2481).
+
+- Reenable import of noweb files (bug 2289).
+
+- Render greyed out notes correctly in output (bug 2723).
+

symbols displayed properly.
-** Xforms frontend
-
-The advent of the Qt frontend does not mean that the historical xforms
-frontend is dead. Actually, it is still the one which is the best
-implemented, because we have had more time to polish it. In this release,
-most of the dialogs have been redesigned to be tighter.
-
-Note also that the xforms library has been very recently updated to
-version 1.0. This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser
-General Public License), and the availability of the source means that
-many bugs that have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You
-are advised to upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes.
-In fact, LyX 1.3.0 no longer supports versions of xforms older than 0.89.5.
-
-In most cases the dialogs have been designed to make it impossible to input
-invalid parameters. The exception to this rule is the input of length data.
-Power LaTeX users can still input obtuse "glue lengths", but the widgets are
-highlighted in red if this input is invalid or incomplete. This visual
-feedback makes it easy to see why LyX won't allow you to Apply your changes.
