+
+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).
+
+
+** Bug fixes:
+*************

+
+- Fix a crash when importing an older LyX file (version < 1.1.6) that used
+ the "default" language.
+
+- Exit gracefully and give the user some information if LyX catches an
+ exception from an external program, such as iconv (part of bug 4385).
+

+ not using also Theorem (bug 4282).
+

+ URLs (bug 2265).
+
+- If there exists a local layout file, use the local copy instead of the
+ system one.
+
+- Use package "float" when the default placement for floats is set to
+ 'Here, definitely'.
+

+ Simplified Chinese.
+
+- Updated Czech, French, Galician, German, Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian,
+ Japanese, Portuguese and Romanian translations of the user interface.

+- The screen label of index insets now displays their content.
+
+- Floats comes now with fixed width on screen (bug 4002).

+ navigation bars (bug 3133).
+
+- The AMS document classes have undergone a major rewrite. Several
+ 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 1.5.1?
----------------------------
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
+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,
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 graphical improvements:
Apart from the described major changes, several minor improvements of
the user interface have been made, such as:

+ - Support optional argument for environments
What's new in version 1.5.0 (beta 1)?
-----------------------------
+----------------------------
* Unicode
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
What's new in version 1.4.5?
-----------------------------
