[the first two items are from the LDN]
- The code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for
viewing or exporting purposes) has been rewritten. In particular, the
PDF format is now supported. In fact it's now possible to add
new export formats without recompiling LyX by specifying external
programs or scripts in lyxrc settings (note that the old export lyxrc
settings no longer work).
- LyX can do command line exports without opening any GUI components.
- The multilingual support was improved. It is now possible to use in a
document languages with different encodings, e.g. German (iso8859-1) and
Czech (iso8859-2). Such a document can be viewed on screen using an
iso10646-1 (Unicode) font. However, it is (currently) not possible to
have differently encoded languages in the same paragraph.
The languages and the encodings are defined in text files.
- Improved support for Hebrew and Arabic.
[ the Hebrew/Arabic improvements are also present in lyx1.1.5fix*, so I
don't know if it should also be mentioned here ]
