-!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 following pref variables were added in 2.2:
-
-
-
-!!!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.
+* 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 new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.2:
-* buffer-view-cache:
- Opens the last previewed output of the buffer, if it exists.
+!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.3:
-* buffer-move-next:
- Moves the current tab one spot to the right.
-* buffer-move-previous:
- Moves the current tab one spot to the left.
+!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.3:
+* \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 functions have been changed in 2.2:
+!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.3:
-!!!The following LyX key bindings have been changed in 2.2:
+!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.3:
-* 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.
+* branch-invert
+ Toggles inversion status of branch inset.
+* lyx-activate
+ Activates the LyX window. Useful in combination with reverse search.
-!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2:
+!!!The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.3:
+* quote-insert
+ The function now has a second and third optional argument to specify
+ the side (left, right, auto) and quotation mark style (english, swedish,
+ german, polish, french, danish).
-!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2:
+* inset-modify
+ This function now also applies to quote insets. It takes a three-character
+ string as an argument, refering (1.) to the style (e = ``english'',
+ s = ''swedish'', g = ,,german``, p = ,,polish'', f = <<french>>, a = >>danish<<),
+ (2.) to the side (l = left, r = right) and (3.) to the quotation level
+ (s = single, d = double). So "eld" means "English left double quotation mark".
+ A dot in the string means: take the current value. So "inset-modify changetype e.."
+ will only change the style to English, while letting side and level as is,
+ "inset-modify changetype f.s" will change the style to French and the level to
+ single, leaving the side value.
+ This function is most useful when combined with inset-forall. E.g.,
+ "inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype f.."
+ => change all quote insets to French style, maintaining current side and level
+ "inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype ..s"
+ => change all quote insets to single quotes, keeping style and level
+ "inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype g.s"
+ => change all quote insets to German single quotes, keeping left/right setting
-!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2:
+!!!The following LyX documents have been moved 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 4.8.5 suffers from a bug that
- breaks the use of shortcuts, so on Windows Qt 4.8.4 is advised.
-* LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
+!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.3:
-!!Known issues in version 2.2.0
+!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.3:
+* Inkscape SVG with separate LaTeX + PDF output is experimentally supported.
-* 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 sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
- be enough.
+!!Known issues in version 2.3.0
-!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.2.x
-* 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.
