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: - -cd /path/to/layouts -for l in * -do - cp $l tmp.txt - iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 tmp.txt -o $l -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. - - -Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at - http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes - +The RELEASE-NOTES can be found in lib/RELEASE-NOTES.
