Interface changes ----------------- -There have been some changes to the LyX command line. There is a new option -"--batch" that causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI -window. Thus, something like: - lyx -batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx -will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and -the default print settings (which, of course, have to have been configured -already). At present, not many commands can be used this way, but there will -be more eventually. +- There have been changes to some often used menu items. -A bash completion script was added to the tarball. + The following menu items moved from View to Document: + * View (Default format) + * View (Other formats) + * Update (Default format) + * Update (Other formats) -We have introduced a new flag to decide whether or not a given "document" -format shall be listed in the File > Export menu. This was necessary since -this menu got too large. If the flag "menu=export" is not explicitly set, -the formats are not included in the menu. This means that you might need -to click "Show in export menu" in Preferences > File Formats for your -customized file formats if you want them to appear in the menu. -Note, though, that you still can export to any possible format via -File > Export > More Formats and Options ... + The following menu item moved from Document to View: + * Outline -> Outline Pane -The following pref variables were changed in 2.0: +- 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 in memory as a hidden document (that can be + shown again through the View->Hidden-> submenu). -- \language_package was renamed to \language_custom_package + A new configurable preference option has been added, allowing for + either (close_buffer_with_last_view). -- \language_use_babel (bool) has been replaced by - \language_package_selection, which can be - 0 (automatic selection) - 1 (always use babel) - 2 custom (use the custom package defined by - \language_custom_package) - 3 none (equivalent to former \language_use_babel false) +- There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following + new options have been added: -The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0: + --export-to (-E ) -- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore) + Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is + opened to the specified destination file and format + . For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, + you can run: + lyx --export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx + See the manual page for details. -- \personal_dictionary, \spell_command, \use_input_encoding, - \use_personal_dictionary and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been - removed) + This functionality is also available via a new menu voice + Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to + choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname. + Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch) + through a proper new LFUN (see below). -- \spellchecker_use_alt_lang and \use_escape_chars (actually not used - by the UI, and it is as simple to check whether the relevant - variable is empty) +- The Advanced Find and Replace feature now supports cancel of a + long search operation by hitting the ESC key. -- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format +- 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 pref variables were added in 2.1: + +- \\close_buffer_with_last_view [yes|no|ask] + When the user closes the last view on a document, close the + document as well ("yes"), or hide the document ("no"), or ask + the user ("ask"). + +- \\completion_minlength + Defines the minimal length of a word to be added to the list of + words for text completion. + +- \\default_length_unit + Defines the default length unit: 2 for centimers, 6 for inches. + +- \\default_otf_view_format + Defines the default output format for documents with non-tex + fonts (OpenType fonts). + +- \\fullscreen_statusbar + Controls whether the statusbar is shown in fullscreen mode. + +- \\texinputs_prefix + Defines the prefix for the TEXINPUTS environment variable. A + single '.' in the paths will get replaced with the current + document dir and also non-absolute paths will be prefixed with + that dir. + + The default semantics of TEXINPUTS apply, such that, for example, + if a path is terminated with a double slash, all subdirectories + will also be searched by both the TeX engine and ancillary programs + such as dvi previewers or dvips. + + (see also commit 1717ef20) + +- \\use_qimage + See Caveats section below. + +- \\use_system_theme_icons + If set to true, LyX tries to use the theme icons as defined by + the OS. + + +The following pref variables were changed in 2.1: + +- \\mac_like_word_movement -> \\mac_like_cursor_movement + When this option is set, the cursor is now moved to the end of + the current paragraph on paragraph-down. The pref variable was + renamed to better reflect this new behaviour. + + +The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.1: + +- \\default_language and \\default_papersize + To set the default language and paper size for new documents, use + the "Save As Document Defaults" button in Document > Settings. The following new LyX functions have been introduced: -- LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv"). -- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode"). -- LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert"). -- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin"). -- LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end""). -- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select"). -- LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select"). -- LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous"). -- LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference"). -- LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select"). -- LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline"). -- LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout"). -- LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline"). -- LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave"). -- LFUN_BRANCHES_RENAME ("branches-rename"). -- LFUN_BRANCH_ADD_INSERT ("branch-add-insert"). -- LFUN_BUFFER_CLOSE_ALL ("buffer-close-all"). -- LFUN_INSET_FORALL ("inset-forall"). -- LFUN_DEBUG_LEVEL_SET ("debug-level-set"). -- LFUN_INSET_SELECT_ALL ("inset-select-all"). -- LFUN_MATH_AMS_MATRIX ("math-ams-matrix"). -- LFUN_VC_COMPARE ("vc-compare"). -- LFUN_SPELLING_ADD ("spelling-add"). -- LFUN_SPELLING_IGNORE ("spelling-ignore"). -- LFUN_SPELLING_REMOVE ("spelling-remove"). -- LFUN_PREVIEW_INSERT ("preview-insert"). -- LFUN_FORWARD_SEARCH ("forward-search"). -- LFUN_INSET_COPY_AS ("inset-copy-as"). -- LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync"). - - -The following LyX functions have been removed: - -- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead. -- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY ("next-inset-modify"): use "inset-modify" instead. -- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead. - -- LFUN_NOTES_MUTATE ("notes-mutate"): replace - notes-mutate - with the more general function inset-forall - inset-forall Note: inset-modify note Note - -- LFUN_ALL_INSETS_TOGGLE ("all-insets-toggle"): replace - all-insets-toggle - all-insets-toggle - with the more generic function inset-forall - inset-forall inset-toggle - inset-forall * inset-toggle - There is a difference in the parameter, which is would be - like "note" in the first case and "Note" in the second. - -- LFUN_TABULAR_FEATURE ("tabular-feature"): use "inset-modify" instead. - I.e., "tabular-feature FEATURE " becomes: - inset-modify tabular FEATURE - -- LFUN_LINE_INSERT ("line-insert"): use "inset-insert line" instead. For - something close to the previous default, use: - inset-insert line rule height 0.25ex width 100col% \\end_inset - This is necessary because the line inset now takes various arguments. - -- LFUN_TOC_INSERT ("toc-insert"): use "inset-insert toc" instead. +- ipa-insert + Inserts an IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) inset. +- ipamacro-insert + Inserts special IPA macros into the document. can be + one of 'tone-falling', 'tone-rising', 'tone-high-rising', + 'tone-low-rising', 'tone-high-rising-falling', 'deco bottomtiebar', + 'deco toptiebar'. -The following LyX functions have been changed: +- spelling-continuously + Toggles continuous spell-checking. -- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used - to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use - inset-settings for this purpose. - -- LFUN_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings - arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word - at current cursor position, even if it is not selected. +- vc-rename +- vc-copy + Renames or copies a file under version control. -- LFUN_OPTIONAL_INSERT ("optional-insert") has been renamed LFUN_ARGUMENT_INSERT - ("argument-insert"). +- buffer-forall + Applies to all non-hidden buffers. +- environment-split + Splits the current environment with a Separator. -The following LyX key bindings have been changed: +- branch-master-activate +- branch-master-deactivate + Activates or deactivates a branch in a master document from within + a child (as opposed to the existing branch-[de]activate, which + toggle the branch in the document itself). + +- buffer-export-as + Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above). -- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold") - The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore". +- clipboard-paste-simple + Paste the clipboard contents as simple unformatted text. + This is also available through a new menu voice within the + [Edit]->[Paste Special...] sub-menu. -- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_UNFOLD ("math-macro-unfold") - The binding to "C-plus" has changed to "C-S-asterisk". +- 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) -- On Mac OSX the modifier keys and
