Interface changes
-----------------
+Whenever the user closes a (tabbed) view on a document, either by
+clicking on the tab close button, or by using the File->Close menu,
+LyX now closes exclusively that specific view. If there are other
+views showing the same document, they are not closed. When the user
+closes the last view, LyX can be configured for either closing the
+document, or keeping it into memory as a hidden document (that can be
+shown again through the View->Hidden-> submenu).
+
+A new configurable preference option has been added, allowing for either
+(close_buffer_with_last_view)
+
There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
options have been added:
The Advanced Find and Replace feature now supports cancel of a long
search operation by hitting the ESC key.
-The following pref variables were changed in 2.0:
+The following pref variables were changed in 2.1:
+
+- \\close_buffer_with_last_view [yes|no|ask]
+ When user closes the last view on a document, close the document
+ as well ("yes"), or hide the document ("no"), or ask the user
+ ("ask").
-The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0:
+The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.1:
+- \\default_language
- \\default_papersize
+To set the default language and paper size for new documents, use the
+"Save As Document Defaults" button in Document > Settings.
+
+The format pdf aka "PDF (ps2pdf)" was split in two formats: pdf aka
+"PDF (ps2pdf)" and pdf6 aka "PDF (graphics)". pdf6 is used for PDF files
+included as graphics. Custom external templates and converters might need
+to be adjusted. The format split was needed since otherwise an odt->pdf
+converter which is intended for included graphics only did interfere with
+document export via ps2pdf.
+
+The support for ArmTeX (a special typesetting engine for Armenian) was removed.
+Writing text in Armenian is now possible in a native way using XeTeX.
+
The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
+- LFUN_BRANCH_MASTER_ACTIVATE <branch>:
+ LFUN_BRANCH_MASTER_DEACTIVATE <branch>:
+ Activates or deactivates a branch in a master document from within
+ a child (as opposed to the existing LFUN_BRANCH_[DE]ACTIVATE, which
+ toggle the branch in the document itself).
+
- LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS <format> <filename>
Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above).
This is also available through a new menu voice within the
[Edit]->[Paste Special...] sub-menu.
+- LFUN_VIEW_CLOSE
+ Close the current document view only, if there are no more views
+ on the document, either close or hide it (see the new preference
+ option \\close_buffer_with_last_view)
The following LyX functions have been removed:
to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
inset-settings for this purpose.
+- LFUN_CLOSE_TAB_GROUP_CLOSE ("close-tab-group") was renamed to
+ LFUN_TAB_GROUP_CLOSE ("tab-group-close").
+
+- LFUN_SPIT_VIEW ("split-view") was renamed to
+ LFUN_VIEW_SPLIT ("view-split").
+
+- LFUN_BREAK_PARAGRAPH ("break-paragraph") was renamed to
+ LFUN_PARAGRAPH_BREAK ("paragraph-break").
The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
+- The binding "C-w" was moved from "buffer-close" to "view-close"
+ (only in cua.bind).
+
Linux desktop file specification and scalable icon has been included
into the tarball.
Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.1.x
-------------------------------------------------------
+In order to improve reported scrolling slowness, we changed the way screen
+painting is done. This, however, can slow down the performance on remote
+X connections and we provide RC_USE_QIMAGE variable, which brings back
+the old way of painting (when set to false).
