That is not true in general, look e.g. on the booktabs branch or my experimental kde branch. I agree that a branch is not the solution here, but for a different reason: The purpose of the freeze is twofold: freeing developer time for bug fixing, and ensuring stability. The first does only work if cleanup work is not done at all. > Georg, what's > your opinion? Quoting a post of Stacia Hartleben from the users list: Hi everyone thanks for your replies. It seems that I have misunderstood the unicode direction for LyX 1.5.0 - can I ask in all honesty and with no disrespect meant - what is the point of going through all this trouble to make LyX unicode compatible if it well, doesn't work with the majority of unicode text? For me the unicode text displays in LyX fine (with a few quirks) so I was mislead I guess. She is 100% right, and I expect more users to ask this question. We advertise unicode for 1.5.0 a lot, therefore it should at least work with the more common languages (e.g. cjk). In general I think that multiple views are not ready yet. I can't (and don't want to) stop anybody making multiple views work, but I am going to spend my time on things that I think are more important (for every unicode bug that gets fixed somebody finds a new problem). Therefore I can't comment on the patch (doing a one minute review would be unfair), and IMO it is really up to Jose to say yes or no. Georg
