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. - -!!!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. - - -!!!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: +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. +!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.3: -!!!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 pref variables were changed in 2.3: -!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2: +!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.3: +!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.3: -!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2: +!!!The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.3: -!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2: +!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.3: -* 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. +!!!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: -* 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
