-This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 1.5.0 and
-also some known problems in LyX 1.5.0 that did not occur in
-1.4.5. Note that fixes are available for many of these, but they have
-not yet been applied because of incomplete testing.

-Interface changes

-Some of the LyX functions have changed names :

-Known issues with version 1.5.0
-------------------------------------
-
-- User layout files must be converted to UTF-8
-
-In previous version, layout styles were allowed to use non-ASCII names
-using the local encodings. LyX-1.5 now assumes that all layout files are
-UTF-8 encoded. This means that non-ASCII style names are still allowed
-but they nust be valid UTF-8 strings. One way of doing the conversion
-is to use iconv. Using bash, the script below should work:\r
-\r
-cd /path/to/layouts\r
-for l in *\r
-do\r
- cp $l tmp.txt\r
- iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 tmp.txt -o $l\r
-done
-rm tmp.txt
-
-- Cursor restoration problems with Multiple-View
-
-When using multiple Windows to edit different parts of the
-same document, the cursor position is sometimes not correctly restored
-when you switch from one view to the other.
-
-- Languages/encodings and insets
-
-One of the bugs fixed in LyX 1.5.0 is that previously, there were certain
-specific cases in which the LaTeX generated did not correctly reflect
-language/encoding transitions in and around insets (footnotes, LyX notes).
-After much deliberation, it was decided not to change older files such that
-they will still reflect the old LaTeX output; rather, they will now correctly
-reflect the situation as it appears in the GUI. This means, however, that if
-you mangled the text in the GUI in the older versions, in order that it
-generate the correct LaTeX output, the LaTeX will now generate the mangled
-text. If this is problematic for you, please get in touch with us on the
-developers mailing list, we do have some possible solutions for this.
-
-The effects of this will be more pronounced for RTL (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi)
-users --- though they affect users of other languages as well.
