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. -The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0 -- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore) +The following pref variables were added in 2.2: -- \personal_dictionary, \spell_command, \use_input_encoding, - \use_personal_dictionary and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been - removed) -- \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) -- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format +The following pref variables were changed in 2.2: -The following new LyX functions have been introduced: -- LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv"). +The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.2: -- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode"). +- \\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. -- LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert"). -- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin"). +The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.2: -- LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end""). +- buffer-view-cache + Opens the last previewed output of the buffer, if it exists. -- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select"). +- buffer-move-next + Moves the current tab one spot to the right. -- LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select"). +- buffer-move-previous + Moves the current tab one spot to the left. -- LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous"). -- LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference"). +The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.2: -- LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select"). -- LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline"). -- LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout"). +The following LyX key bindings have been changed in 2.2: -- LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline"). +- 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. -- LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave"). +The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2: -The following LyX functions have been removed: -- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead. -The following LyX functions have been changed: +The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2: -- 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. -Known issues in version 2.0.0 ------------------------------ +Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2: +-------------------------------------------------------- -Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x -------------------------------------------------------- +- 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 +----------------------------- -Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at - http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes +- 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. -TODO ----- -- Somebody should create a rc2rc script... - http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/27531 - -- some summary about 3rd party programs additions/removals should be - written for packagers (eg aiksauraus, libtool). +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.
