Interface changes
-----------------
+The external template format recognize now a new tag: 'Preview'. This tag is
+used to define how an external material should be previewed in LyX. For more
+detail, see the 'external_templates' file in the resource directory of LyX.
+
+LyX 1.6.0 introduces support for the pLaTeX distribution which provides extended
+language and script support for Japanese. The language "Japanese" now uses this
+new method. Japanese support via the CJK package is still available, but has been
+renamed to "Japanese (CJK)". Old documents continue to use the CJK method.
+Also cf. the "known issues" section for some remaining problems.
+
Some of the LyX functions have changed names:
- A new LFUN_SPECIALCHAR_INSERT has been implemented that obsoletes the
- The functions LFUN_HTML_INSERT, "html-insert", LFUN_URL_INSERT, "url-insert" was
superseded by LFUN_HYPERLINK_INSERT, "href-insert".
+- The function LFUN_FLOAT_LIST has been renamed to LFUN_FLOAT_LIST_INSERT.
+
+- The functions delete-back/forward has been renamed to char-delete-back/forward.
+
+- The functions LFUN_FONT_FREE_APPLY/UPDATE has been renamed to
+ LFUN_TEXTSTYLE_APPLY/UPDATE.
+
+- The functions LFUN_SERVER_GET_NAME has been renamed to
+ LFUN_SERVER_GET_FILENAME.
+
The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
- LFUN_FINISHED_BACKWARD, "".
-- LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_EMBEDDING, "buffer-toggle-embedding".
-
- LFUN_INFO_INSERT, "info-insert".
- LFUN_LAYOUT_RELOAD, "layout-reload".
- LFUN_INSET_EDIT, "inset-edit"
+- LFUN_SET_GRAPHICS_GROUP, "set-graphics-group"
+
+- LFUN_GRAPHICS_GROUPS_UNIFY, "graphics-groups-unify"
+
+- LFUN_BRANCH_ACTIVATE, "branch-activate"
+
+- LFUN_BRANCH_DEACTIVATE, "branch-deactivate"
+ These can be used in export mode to turn branches on and off.
+ Thus, something like:
+ lyx -e pdf2 -x "branch-activate answers" finalexam.lyx
+ could be used to export a pdf with the answers branch included, without
+ one's having to open LyX and activate the branch manually.
+
+- LFUN_NOTES_MUTATE, "notes-mutate"
The following new LyX functions have been removed:
- LFUN_GRAPHICS_EDIT. Superseded by the more general LFUN_INSET_EDIT.
+- LFUN_ACCENT_SPECIAL_CARON.
+
+- LFUN_INSET_REFRESH.
+
+- LFUN_BREAK_PARAGRAPH_SKIP, LFUN_DELETE_BACKWARD_SKIP, LFUN_DELETE_FORWARD_SKIP.
+
+- LFUN_ERROR_NEXT.
+
+- LFUN_MATH_IMPORT_SELECTION. Use LFUN_MATH_MODE instead.
+
+- LFUN_BIBITEM_INSERT.
+
For the detailed description of LyX functions look into doxygen documentation.
Known issues in version 1.6.0
------------------------------------
-- ...
+- New pLaTeX support for Japanese:
+ * Documents using this method can be backported to 1.5 in pricipal, but
+ the backported documents are not guaranteed to work, since 1.5 falls
+ back to the CJK package; expect the output to differ.
+ * pLaTeX provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex", which will
+ be selected automatically by LyX. If you run into problems with this or
+ if you need to use an alternative BibTeX program, you can change this
+ setting in the LyX preferences (Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command).
Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.6.x
-------------------------------------------------------
-The support for Japanese has been improved in LyX 1.6.x. Due to encoding
-reasons, Japanese documents that were edited with LyX 1.6.x cannot correctly
-be converted to the format of LyX 1.5.x and thus not edited with LyX 1.5.x.
-To be able to use LyX 1.6 with Japanese, the latest version of the LaTeX
-distribution "platex" must be installed.
-platex provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex". When LyX is
-configured, this variant is used. In case you have problems with BibTeX-files
-that include Japanese or you need to use another BibTeX program, set it in LyX
-preferences under Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command.
