-!Important Changes in LyX 2.2.0
-
-(: This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.2.0, some
- known problems in LyX 2.2.0 and some things you have to take into account
- when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.2.x series. :)
+!Important Changes in LyX 2.3.0
!!Interface changes
-* The --Separator-- layout has been removed in favor of an environment
- separator inset. There is no provision for inserting this inset from
- the GUI (though some menu entries use it) as it is automatically inserted
- when needed. See Section 3.4.6 of the User Guide for details.
-
-* The prefix for subsections in labels and references has been changed from
- "sub:" to "subsec:" in order to avoid a clash with subfloats (conflicting
- \subref command, see bug #7550). Files are automatically converted to the new
- scheme. Please assure that you adapt external refstyle or prettyref definitions
- and your own layout files.
-
-* Support for printing from within LyX (File> Print) has been removed. LyX's
- printing support was very limited, and most users will want to print after
- reviewing an output document (e.g., a PDF), anyway, which can be done from the
- PDF viewer.
- Users who would like to restore this functionality can create a
- "printer" format from within LyX and then define, say, a
- pdf->printer converter that does nothing but call lpd, or a2ps, or
- whatever. The "printer" will then be available as an export option.
-
-
-!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.2:
-
-* \save_origin
- This variable was introduced to allow saving the document directory
- path in the document. If allowed, LyX will be able to locate all
- included files even when the document is manually moved/copied to
- a different location. If a valid \origin tag is present and the
- document was actually moved, the path of all included files is
- updated relative to the new location and the new origin will be
- recorded when saving again the document.
-
-!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.2:
-
-
-
-!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.2:
-
-* \rtl
- This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of
- the then-new right-to-left languages support. It is no longer needed
- because of improvements. Now right-to-left support is always enabled.
-
-* \printer
-* \print_adapt_output
-* \print_command
-* \print_evenpage_flag
-* \print_oddpage_flag
-* \print_pagerange_flag
-* \print_copies_flag
-* \print_collcopies_flag
-* \print_reverse_flag
-* \print_to_printer
-* \print_to_file
-* \print_file_extension:
- These were used for print support, which has been removed.
-
-
-!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.2:
-
-* buffer-view-cache
- Opens the last previewed output of the buffer, if it exists.
-
-* buffer-move-next
- Moves the current tab one spot to the right.
-
-* buffer-move-previous
- Moves the current tab one spot to the left.
+* LyX now has "inverted" branch insets, which output their contents just in
+ case a given branch is not "activated". This makes inclusion of alternate
+ material in different versions easier.
+* When inserting a command or symbol in mathed, it is now automatically
+ wrapped in a real inset (either \text or \ensuremath) assuring the correct
+ mode, instead of being wrapped only in the output. The wrapping inset can
+ be safely dissolved, as it will be automatically inserted at export time
+ if needed, as usual.
-!!!The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.2:
-* word-upcase, word-lowcase and word-capitalize do not select the word
- to operate on in the emacs way (that is, starting at cursor
- position); this behaviour can be restored by using the argument
- "partial".
+!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.3:
-!!!The following LyX key bindings have been changed in 2.2:
-* For bindings where Control + {PgDn, PgUp} switches to the
- {next, previous} tab, Control + Shift + {PgDn, PgUp} moves the current
- tab to the {next, previous} tab.
+!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.3:
-* The shortcuts for "bookmark-save x" have been changed from C-M-S-x to S-Fx
- ("x" stands for the number of the bookmark.)
+* \document_path
+ Default is changed to ".". The best guess for where the user wants to save
+ or find files is the directory the user started LyX from. Before, the
+ default was always the home directory. If desired, the old behavior can be
+ restored by changing the default path in Preferences > "Working directory".
-!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2:
+!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.3:
+!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.3:
-!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2:
+* branch-invert
+ Toggles inversion status of branch inset.
+* lyx-activate
+ Activates the LyX window. Useful in combination with reverse search.
-!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2:
+!!!The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.3:
-* LyX is not yet supposed to work with Qt5. It is advised to compile and
- run LyX against Qt 4.8.x. On Windows Qt 4.8.6 or newer is advised.
-* LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
+!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.3:
-* With LuaTeX, LyX now uses polyglossia instead of babel if the language
- package option "Automatic" is selected. In order to use babel, select
- "Always babel" instead.
+!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.3:
-!!Known issues in version 2.2.0
-* LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
- where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
- this properly, since simple shebang conversion in *.py files will not
- be enough.
+!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.3:
+* Inkscape SVG with separate LaTeX + PDF output is experimentally supported.
-!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.2.x
+!!Known issues in version 2.3.0
-* BibTeX errors are now processed and cause LyX to show the errors dialog.
- Before, these errors were ignored, which means that it may happen that
- documents that compiled without error with a previous version now
- compile with error. However, because now in 2.2.x users can click on
- the "Show Output Anyway" button, the document can still be viewed.
-* With XeTeX and LuaTeX, missing characters in the output are now reported
- as errors. This leads to error reports for documents that compiled without
- error before. However, the error was always present but went undetected!
+!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.3.x
-* Documents using Times fonts and containing Greek characters may now fail
- to compile under pdflatex for users of MikTeX due to an automatically
- half-installed "grtimes" package. A workaround in LyX was removed as it
- stands in the way of alternative approaches (see bug #6469).
