+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)?
+----------------------------
+
+* 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.
+
+* Integrated CJK support
+
+The very first result of the Unicode transition is that we have finally
+merged in the externally maintained CJK-LyX branch.
+
+* 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.
+
+
+* Nomenclatures
+
+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.
+
+* Unified Windows installer
+
+The two windows installers are being merged and bug reports regarding
+both installers are welcome.
+
+* 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.
+

+
+- Handle properly gcc 4.1 in configure.
+
+- Install python files together with precompiled versions.
+
+- A scons build system has been added, for details please see

+- A CMake build system has been added, for details see
+ development/cmake/README.cmake
+
+- LyX can be compiled on windows with MSVC using qt3 from the Q../Free

+
+* Miscellaneous
+
+- LyX requires now python 2.2 to work properly.
+
+- Display LaTeX package checking results faster during configuration.
+
+- Log the output of configure.py to a log file configure.log.
+
+- Do automatic reconfiguration even when running in batch mode (bug 2741).
+
+- Change the encoding of some python scripts from iso-8859-15 to

+ has also been pythonified.
+
+- It is longer necessary to run lib/configure.py in the main LyX
+ support directory.
+
+- Reading of configuration now goes like this: LyX first reads the file

+- Remove the --enable-compression-support option of configure. Compression
+ support via zlib is now a requirement.
+
+- Fix compilation on DragonFly BSD.
+

+
+What's new in version 1.4.0?
+----------------------------
+
+As usual with major releases, a lot of work that is not directly
+visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
+some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
+
+** Improved user interface
+
+LyX 1.4 has a re-designed layout for the menus, designed to decrease
+clutter and maximise productivity. Several menu items (in the Edit
+menu) are now context-sensitive, so they only appear when needed. For
+the die-hard old LyX users, the older layout (referred to as the
+classic UI) is still available, for now.
+
+It's now possible to define multiple toolbars as seen in other
+editors. By default, the new LyX release has two toolbars displayed,
+the standard one (similar to the static toolbar in LyX 1.3), plus the
+extra toolbar. In addition, there are two pre-defined toolbars
+available: one for tables, and one for math.
+
+Another new feature worth mentioning is popup toolbars: you can set a
+toolbar such that it only appears when editing math, or when editing a
+table.
+
+** Change tracking
+
+This new feature, similar to that found in Microsoft Word and others,
+makes collaboration on a document a cinch. It provides a way to track
+changes made to a document, and later approve, reject, or modify such
+changes.
+
+** Much better conversion from .tex to .lyx
+
+The ancient and unloved Perl script, reLyX has finally bitten the dust
+and been replaced by the brand new and shiny tex2lyx. tex2lyx's LaTeX
+parser follows most of the rules of the real TeX and so is already
+much more powerful than reLyX ever was.
+
+** Character styles
+
+For a system that purports to make it easy to write documents full of
+logical (as opposed to visual markup), LyX has always had one glaring
+omission: no character styles. LyX 1.4 goes some way towards
+addressing this defect, although there's no dialog to define your own
+styles.
+
+
+** Branches
+
+The teacher who's setting an exam obviously doesn't want her pupils
+seeing the answers, yet having questions and answers in the same
+document will make the life of the markers of that exam much easier.
+
+That's just one example of someone who would benefit from LyX's new
+"branches" feature. In fact, anyone who writes documents which have
+more than one target audience will find this feature useful.
+
+** Minipages evolve to Boxes
+
+In 1.3, LyX only had native support for plain minipages. Now you can
+use a wide range of box types and decorations directly from the LyX
+GUI
+
+** Notes
+
+LyX now has three different Notes for you to add to your document from
+the Insert>Note menu:
+
+- the "LyX Note" is not exported to LaTeX, as now. The "Comment" is
+- exported to LaTeX as a comment environment and is not processed
+ further.
+- The Greyed Out note is visible in your PostScript or PDF output as,
+ well, greyed-out text.
+
+** Better language and numbering on screen
+
+Two features help to make the screen rendering closer to the printed output:
+
+- the labels attached to layouts like Chapter are now translated in
+ the language of the document, which may be different from the
+ language of the menus;
+- sectioning headers and theorems are now numbered according to the
+ document class specifications.
+
+** Word count
+
+Yes, it's finally there! Tools>Count Words will give you a word
+count of the document or of the current selection.
+
+** Error Lists
+
+Nasty "error boxes" were eliminated in favor of a dialog with a list
+of errors popping up at compilation time.
+
+** Improved bibliography support
+
+- LyX's support for natbib has been enhanced. Now, also the mysterious
+ "before citation" field is supported;
+- We have added support for jurabib, an amazing package to produce
+ flexible citations that are especially well suited for the humanities
+ and law fields;
+- Support for sectioned bibliographies (bibtopic) has been added;
+- the way bibtex is called is now customizable (as is the way the
+ index processor is invoked).
+
+** Improved microtypography support
+
+LyX aims to produce superior typography. With 1.4, it supports:
+
+- more blank characters (e.g. a "thin space", which should stand here
+ between "e." and "g.");
+- inner and outer quotation marks without the hassle of toggling the
+ style in the documents dialog. Just use the Alt key.
+- the handling of figure and table alignment inside floats has been
+ improved. You can now use the paragraph dialog without getting too
+ much space between figure/table and caption.
+
+** Small bits
+
+- Figure and table floats can be rotated sideways
+
+- The external xfig inset has been improved especially with regard to
+ pdf generation
+
+- The graphics inset dialog has now an "edit" button that allows to
+ edit the included figure
+
+- For index generation, xindy can be used instead of makeindex, which
+ has poor support for other than English index sorting.
+
+** 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 1.3.7?
+----------------------------
+
+We hope that this will be the last release in the 1.3.x series. In
+addition to many bug fixes, the following improvements are worth
+noting:
+
+- LyX 1.3.7 is able to read all LyX files up to file format 245,
+ the format that we anticipate will be used by the forthcoming LyX 1.4.0.
+
+- The windows version has received some polish, in particular in the
+ installer and in the handling of file names.
+
+All current 1.3.x users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.3.6?
+----------------------------
+
+Unix and MacOSX users should consider this to be a bugfix release.
+
+To Windows users, however, LyX 1.3.6 is the first version of LyX
+to support the platform officially. This means that we've put a huge
+effort into squashing those bugs that were present in Ruurd Reitsma's
+unofficial ports to Windows. Large chunks of the code base have been
+touched in an attempt to resolve these problems so whilst we're
+confident that LyX/Win 1.3.6 will be the best ever version of LyX on
+Windows, we cannot say that it's bug free.
+
+We would like to highlight three fixes in particular:
+ * It is now possible to typeset files which reside in a directory with
+ spaces in its name; this requires a modern TeX implementation (such
+ as teTeX 3.0).
+ * It is possible to use Ctrl-PageDown and Control-PageUp (<opt>-tab
+ and <opt><shift>-tab with LyX/Mac) to switch between the open documents.
+ * LaTeX-type accents, ligature breaks and hyphenation marks are now
+ considered as part of words
+
+
+
+What's new in version 1.3.5?
+----------------------------
+
+This is mainly a bugfix release, with few notable user-visible
+improvements. However, we would like to highlight two fixes in particular:
+ * Nested documents (with Insert>Include File...), which have been
+ broken since LyX 1.2.0, should now work properly, including the
+ case where the files are in different directories.
+ * It is now possible to compile LyX with gcc 3.4.
+
+What's new in version 1.3.4?
+----------------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.3 in
+five main areas:
+ * It adds support for old files from LyX 0.10.x or 0.12.x;
+ * Lyx documents can now be opened and edited even if
+ they use text classes not present in your latex installation;
+ * New Qt features have been added (improved selection,
+ drag-and-drop);
+ * Mac OS X support is much improved;
+ * The interface and documentation localization have
+ been polished.
+
+What's new in version 1.3.3?
+----------------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.2 in
+four main areas:
+ * import of old LyX files and export to DocBook have been improved;
+ * many small bugs in the Qt frontend have been fixed;
+ * MacOSX users can now compile LyX and enjoy the native MacOSX interface;
+ * several languages now benefit from an improved translation of
+ the user interface and documentation.
+
+What's new in version 1.3.2?
+----------------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release which improves upon 1.3.1 in
+three main areas:
+ * the spellchecker code has been overhauled and many bugs
+ have been squashed;
+ * many small bugs in the Qt frontend have been fixed;
+ * several languages now benefit from an improved translation of
+ the user interface.
+
+What's new in version 1.3.1?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 1.3.1 is a maintenance release, which adds some polish to the new
+features of LyX 1.3.0 (especially the Qt frontend) and also fixes some
+significant bugs in the math editor and the lyx2lyx import script. We
+also threw in a few new features (new textclasses, latex import
+improvements) for good measure.
+
+** Updates
+
+- when there is vertical space between paragraphs, the amount of space
+ is also indicated in the small/medium/large case [bug #814]
+
+- reLyX improvements: support for natib citations, for 'm' column
+ descriptors in tables; a .lyx file generated by reLyX now says this
+
+- new classes mwart, mwbk and mwrep (adaptation of the base classes to
+ polish conventions); new class elsart (for journals published by
+ Elsevier); updated classes koma-script (in particular new class
+ scrlttr2); re-introduce class ijmpd (which was in 1.2.x) and unbreak
+ class kluwer
+
+- new "polski" keymap, useful for entering Polish on a QWERTY
+ keyboard; update to Scientific Word-compatible bindings
+ (documentation has been updated too)
+
+- updates to the danish, dutch, french, german, norwegian, polish and
+ spanish translation of menus
+
+- Most of the documentation has been updated for the current version
+ of LyX. If you find some problems with the documentation in this
+ release, please contact lyx-docs@lists.lyx.org
+
+What's new in version 1.3.0?
+----------------------------
+
+As with the previous major version 1.2.0, many things make this new
+release an exciting one. One of the major projects that has been going
+on behind the scenes is the so-called GUI-independence project. We are
+glad to announce that version 1.3.0 shows the first results of this.
+LyX now comes in two flavours: Qt-LyX and xforms-LyX!
+
+Although this is the most visible change in version 1.3, this should not
+hide the fact that the `under the hood' changes to the code have again
+been very important. A detailed list can be found below.
+
+** Qt frontend
+
+This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports
+either Qt 2.x or 3.x and is mostly feature complete. Note that some
+of the dialogs are slightly different in design, but are generally
+functionally equivalent.
+
+Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
+latex-xft-fonts package at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib to get maths
+symbols displayed properly.
+
+** Gnome frontend
+
+Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly
+stopped recently and we have therefore chosen to disable it. We
+strongly invite anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the
+developer's list.
+
+** Instant preview
+
+preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows "instant previews"
+of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual rendering of the
+LaTeX in the document. Its project home page can be found at
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex. With the help of David
+Kastrup, the author, LyX 1.3.0 can harness this functionality to
+allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and
+figures. This feature can be immensely useful, ensuring that the
+rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The
+preview is only displayed (if enabled) when you're not editing the
+actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too.
+
+** Math editor
+
+There have been a few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the
+visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of
+a formula, showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the
+formula itself and revealing the names of the nesting levels in the
+minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy
+package containing e.g. the zodiac symbols. New also is the internal
+structure of font changes which are now proper "insets", just like
+anything else from a square root to an array. This not only simplifies
+the code greatly but also allows the same editing tricks as for the
+"regular" math. However, it was not possible to tweak the visible
+behaviour to mimic 1.2 in all cases, so this might take some time to
+get accustomed to. On the pro side, the new structure allowed
+support for LaTeX's \mbox and \fbox to be implemented and general
+"switching back to text mode within math", so a lot of "evil red text"
+trickery is not needed anymore. The most visible changes are the following:
+
+- Pressing { and } will insert LaTeX's \{ and \} which show up as { }
+ in the printout. To get LaTeX's {} nesting, you need to type \{.
+
+- Fonts changes now really nest. Repeated application of a font change
+ will result in nested font changes! To remove a font change without
+ removing the "contents", it is now possible to "pull the argument"
+ like in other insets, i.e. put the cursor in the first position of
+ the inset and press 'backspace'.
+
+** Reading old files
+
+LyX now has a new script lyx2lyx which enables the reading of any file
+produced by LyX versions as old as 0.12. Work is in progress on files
+created with LyX 0.10 (LyX 1.4 time-line) and still older files are
+in the forge. Basically if lyx wrote it LyX will read it. :-)
+
+There is also a strong demand to be able to read files produced by
+_newer_ versions of LyX. While lyx2lyx has the infrastructure in place
+to do such things, the filters to `downgrade' LyX files (from 1.3.0 to
+1.2.x, for example) have not yet been written.
+
+** Miscellaneous changes
+
+- LyX now automatically uses TeX fonts for screen rendering of math
+ equations if they are available (it is not necessary anymore to
+ configure your font server).
+
+- The Insert>Short Title allows the addition of an optional text
+ for section headings and captions that is designed to be used in
+ tables of contents.
+
+- The Insert>Float>Floatflt Figure menu item restores the ability
+ to wrap text around an image which was present in 1.1.6 and
+ removed in 1.2.0
+
+- If you configure with --with-pspell (which uses the PSpell library for
+ spellchecking), you will be able to automatically spell-check
+ multi-language documents, assuming you have the right dictionaries
+ installed.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.2.3?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 1.2.3 is a maintenance release. It mainly fixes a very bad bug
+where configuring LyX as root could lead to deleting the /dev/null
+special device (this does not impact users of prebuilt binaries).
+Also, a bug where LyX would create zombie processes has been fixed.
+
+** Updates
+
+- updated italian User Guide
+
+- updated french localization
+
+
+What's new in version 1.2.2?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 1.2.2 is a maintenance release. It is a recommended upgrade from
+1.2.0 or 1.2.1, especially since it fixes a few bugs introduced in
+1.2.1.
+
+** Updates
+
+- LyX builds with the newly released xforms 1.0. Actually, it is
+ advised to use this version of xforms, since it fixes many bugs and
+ support for older versions will probably be dropped in LyX 1.3.0
+
+- selecting a word by double clicking now sets the X clipboard (like
+ when dragging the mouse)
+
+- it is now possible to specify the arguments for viewers; in
+ particular, this means that it is possible to use browsers which
+ require a file: URL as HTML viewers (mozilla is used as default if
+ found)
+
+- when a new LyX version is launched, the Edit>Reconfigure tool is
+ automatically invoked; this should avoid many problems with users
+ who are not aware that it is needed
+
+- when changing the current layout with the toolbar, the corresponding
+ keyboard binding is shown in the minibuffer
+
+- in hebrew language, the key " now inserts a typewriter quote (since
+ other quotes do not make sense in hebrew)
+
+- Insert>Lists & TOC>Bibtex Reference uses style 'plain' by default
+
+- new class ijmpd; update cl2emult, llncs and foils textclasses
+
+- update sciword bindings
+
+- small cleanup of UserGuide and FAQ; update to German, French and
+ Russian documentation; new Hebrew tutorial
+
+- update french, german, russian, finnish and danish localization of
+ the interface
+
+
+What's new in version 1.2.1?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 1.2.1 is a maintenance release which fixes many bugs in version
+1.2.0. We hope in this way to enhance world happiness, allowing the
+developers to continue busily to prepare the next major release
+1.3.0. There are a lot of fixes in there, and upgrading is highly
+recommended.
+
+** Updates
+
+- it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0
+ when this gets released)
+
+- partial rewrite of the find & replace feature. This should solve most of
+ the performance problems
+
+- new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog
+
+- revert to the old behaviour when creating new floats (figure,
+ table...): the empty paragraph in the float now is a caption. It
+ seems that 1.2.0 behaviour was confusing too many people
+
+- it is now possible to set the float placement parameters to
+ "document defaults"
+
+- when the cursor is inside a collapsible inset, `Edit>Open/close
+ float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should
+ help entering of ERT insets)
+
+- update Finnish, Danish, French and Russian localizations
+
+- update Tutorial to 1.2.x features
+
+- better support for entering Cyrillic and Greek alphabets
+
+- cleanup shortcuts for section layouts. Starred versions are now
+ obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ...,
+ M-p asterisk 6)
+
+- add keyboard shortcuts to the Documents menu
+
+- support the numpad direction keys as equivalent to normal cursor
+ keys
+
+- it is now possible to specify a non-existent file name on the command
+ line and have this file created for you
+
+- new class cl2emult; update template for IEEEtran; small update to
+ heb-article and hollywood textclasses
+
+
What's new in version 1.2.0?
----------------------------

+and 1.1.6).
-Switch to the so-called 'new' insets:

+versions will almost certainly fail to read files produced by LyX
+1.2.0.
-- new ligature break special character, useful for words like
- shelfful, or many german words
-The math editor has been mostly rewritten (and thus may have many new
-bugs :). Most of the changes should not be visible for the user,
-except:
+Other more traditional insets have been improved too:
-- improvements to the parser
+- New graphics inset with support for hassle-free inclusion of various

+- Support for natbib for bibliography citations
-- (better) support for nested macros
-- (better) support for \limits/\nolimits
-- enable size changes to arrays after creation (add/delete rows/columns)

+process, among which:
-- support for amsmath align environment
+- many of the known bugs or annoyances in mathed have been fixed.
-- support for changing font on a selection
+- possibility to display all standard latex and amsmath symbols (and
+ also the \mathcal, \mathbb, and \mathfrak fonts)as long as the
