JMarc What's new in version 1.2.0? ---------------------------- LyX 1.2.0 is the version where many of changes in the 1.1.x series really begin to pay off. It should prove to be a very solid base for further developments. As of this version, we use (yet another) new versioning scheme: next major version will be 1.3.0, and 1.2.x will be just incremental fixes (like the `fix' series used to be for 1.1.5 and 1.1.6). This version sees the introduction of the so-called `new' insets, which can contain arbitrary text. As a consequence, many new features are now possible: - Floats, footnotes and margin notes are now real insets. The positional parameters of figure, table and algorithm floats can be set float-by-float - Most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been addressed (memory consumption, file bloat, spell-checking, search and replace...). Better longtable header/footer support was implemented. - TeX mode has been superseded by the ERT inset, which is foldable, or can be shown inline - Notes inset can now contain arbitrary LyX constructs; they will not appear in the output. - New minipage inset Note that another consequence of this change is that older LyX version will almost certainly fail to read files produced by LyX 1.2.0. Other more traditional insets have been improved too: - New graphics inset with support for hassle-free inclusion of various image formats (GIF, JPEG, PNG and EPS by default) and a new rendering scheme that should fix the bugs we had with the older ghostscript method. - Support for natbib for bibliography citations The math editor has been mostly rewritten. This begun as a general cleanup, but it turns out that many new features happened in this process, among which: - many of the known bugs or annoyances in mathed have been fixed. - possibility to display all standard latex and amsmath symbols (and also the \mathcal, \mathbb, and \mathfrak fonts)as long as the relevant fonts have been made available to the X server - support for many amsmath features Commands: xrightarrow, xleftarrow, substack, underset, dddot over/under arrows (e.g. underleftarrow). Environments: align, alignat, xalignat, xxalignat, multline, gather split, gathered, aligned, cases, subarray, pmatrix, bmatrix, vmatrix, Vmatrix - Preliminary support for xymatrix - Support for horizontal and vertical lines in arrays. - Improvements to the parser - Improvements to math text mode - (Better) support for nested macros - Enable size changes to arrays after creation (add/delete rows/columns) - Support for changing font or displaystyle on a selection - GUI support provided for many more features Other changes include: - Support for windows with cygwin has been incorporated into the main distribution. - Most of the dialogs have been rewritten in the GUI-I framework, and improved in the process - The kde frontend has been dropped in favor of a new qt2 frontend. Note that only the xforms front is really operational as of this version and alternative frontends are expected for 1.3.0 - The citation dialog has a search facility, with support for regular expressions. - New ligature break special character, useful for words like "shelfful", or many german words - Support for parsing preamble when converting LaTeX files. Along with changes in the LaTeX production of alignment options, this improves round-trip work where you export a LyX document as LaTeX, and later reimport it from LaTeX. - Updated documentation - Support for setting bookmarks and jumping to them - It is possible to cycle between a label and its references. - Preliminary support for multiple bibliographies - Babel can be disabled when using the default language - A thesaurus facility (English only)
