Interface changes ----------------- -Some of the LyX functions have changed names: - -- A new LFUN_SPECIALCHAR_INSERT has been implemented that obsoletes the - different LFUNs for single special characters: - - * LFUN_HYPHENATION_POINT_INSERT: removed. "hyphenation-point-insert" - has been replaced by "specialchar-insert hyphenation-point" - * LFUN_LIGATURE_BREAK_INSERT: removed. "ligature-break-insert" - has been replaced by "specialchar-insert ligature-break" - * LFUN_DOTS_INSERT: removed. "dots-insert" - has been replaced by "specialchar-insert dots" - * LFUN_END_OF_SENTENCE_PERIOD_INSERT: removed. "end-of-sentence-period-insert" - has been replaced by "specialchar-insert end-of-sentence" - * LFUN_MENU_SEPARATOR_INSERT: removed. "menu-separator-insert" - has been replaced by "specialchar-insert menu-separator" - - -Known issues in version 1.5.2 ------------------------------------- - -- LyX might crash if you switch the encoding of a document while the - View->Source pane is opened. - http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3561 - -- LyX might suddenly slow down when you have copied something in another - instance of LyX or in another application. Known workaround: Ctrl+C of - some text inside the active window bring the speed back. - http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4045 - -- 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. - -- RTL and keymaps: - Currently there is a bug where you can't use two non-RTL language keymaps if - the RTL preference is set (which is now the default). If you need to use two - non-RTL keymaps, for now you should just turn off the RTL preference (Tools -> - Preferences... -> Language settings -> Language, uncheck "Right-to-left - language support"). - We hope to offer more comprehensive support for multiple keymaps in the future, - which will solve this bug, as well as allow more than just two keymaps. If you - have any input on this issue, please chime in on the developers mailing list, - or add your comments to http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4051. - - -Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.5.x -------------------------------------------------------- -Due to the change to Unicode, there are some general things you'll have to take care -about when upgrading from an older version to LyX 1.5.0 or newer. Please refer to the -file UPGRADING 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. + + +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. + + +The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.2: + -Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at - http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes +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 LyX documents have been moved in 2.2: + + + +The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2: + + + +Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2: +-------------------------------------------------------- + +- 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. + + +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 sheebang conversion in *.py files will not + be enough. + + +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.
