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 prefix for subsections in labels and references has been changed from - "sub:" to "subsec:" in order to avoid a clash with subfloats (conflicting - \subref command, see bug #7550). Files are automatically converted to the new - scheme. Please assure that you adapt external refstyle or prettyref definitions - and your own layout files. - -* Support for printing from within LyX (File> Print) has been removed. LyX's - printing support was very limited, and most users will want to print after - reviewing an output document (e.g., a PDF), anyway, which can be done from the - PDF viewer. - Users who would like to restore this functionality can create a "printer" - format from within LyX and then define, say, a pdf->printer converter that does - nothing but call lpd, or a2ps, or whatever. The "printer" will then be available - as an export option. - - -!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.2: - -* \save_origin - This variable was introduced to allow saving the document directory - path in the document. If allowed, LyX will be able to locate all - included files even when the document is manually moved/copied to - a different location. If a valid \origin tag is present and the - document was actually moved, the path of all included files is - updated relative to the new location and the new origin will be - recorded when saving again the document. - -!!!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. - -* \printer -* \print_adapt_output -* \print_command -* \print_evenpage_flag -* \print_oddpage_flag -* \print_pagerange_flag -* \print_copies_flag -* \print_collcopies_flag -* \print_reverse_flag -* \print_to_printer -* \print_to_file -* \print_file_extension: - These were used for print support, which has been removed. - - -!!!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. +* 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. -* buffer-move-previous - Moves the current tab one spot to the left. +* 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 LyX functions have been changed in 2.2: +!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.3: +!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.3: -!!!The following LyX key bindings have been changed in 2.2: +* \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". -* 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 shortcuts for "bookmark-save x" have been changed from C-M-S-x to S-Fx - ("x" stands for the number of the bookmark.) +!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.3: -!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2: +!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.3: +* branch-invert + Toggles inversion status of branch inset. -!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2: +* lyx-activate + Activates the LyX window. Useful in combination with reverse search. +!!!The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.3: -!!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 4.8.6 or newer is advised. +!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.3: -* LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error. -* With LuaTeX, LyX now uses polyglossia instead of babel if the language - package option "Automatic" is selected. In order to use babel, select - "Always babel" instead. +!!!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. +!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.3.x
