Hello,
While everybody else is coding great features for LyX 1.1.6, I have
been accumulating a few fixes for the next fix release of 1.1.5. All
these fixes have been checked in the branch lyx-1_1_5, which you can
get with the command
cvs checkout -d lyx-1_1_5 -r lyx-1_1_5 lyx-devel
I advise those of you who want the 1.1.5 series to stabilize rapidly
to check out this branch and try it out. As far as I know, it cannot
be worse than 1.1.5, anyway.
In order to speed up a bit the release work on fix1, here is a small
status document showing what has been done, and what has to be done.

What's new
==========
** New features [yes I know there should not be new features, but these
were almost bugs]
- New lyxrc command \set_color, to set the colors of the GUI elements
in the document [a functionality present in 1.1.4, but not in 1.1.5]
- new Makefile target "bindist", so that we can try again to have
binary distributions of LyX.
** Bugfixes
- fix bug in configure where installation would fail in the reLyX
directory in some cases.
- fix bug in the install-strip Makefile target
- fix crash in the spellchecker.
- better dependency for latex runs.
- make sure the .kmap files exist when a keymap is specified.
** Other: documentation update, UI translation updates (translators,
please send me updated po files for 1.1.5!)
Remaining problems
==================
These are bugs which are probably small, and appeared recently. Good
clients fir a fix release. Note that they exist in 1.1.6 too, so we'll
have to fix them eventually. Please send me references to the ones I
forgot.
** Bugs that I would like to fix before fix1. Send in the fixes :)
- crash in lyxsum() [Lars may have a fix for that]

- index and url popups make LyX crash when closed from the window
manager.

- some clipboard related crashes
[I think Juergen sent a fix]
- disappearing cursor in some situations

- mangled minibuffer after resizing the main window. I can't find a
reference, but the effect is obvious (and recent). Could it be a
consequence of Lars' recent changes to scrollbars? Or simply a flaw
of the WorkArea? More generally, the minibuffer is strange since
when you click in it, the text does not disappear.
** Bugs that we should fix but are not urgent:
- bad karma between \noindent and Description
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg11759.html
- the TOC popup stays in front of the main window [I cannot reproduce
this, so it maybe wm-related]
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg05686.html
- nested includes do not work (the whole scheme in insetinclude should
be reworked, maybe using insetparent).
