Hello,
You can find a list of bugs pending for 1.2.1 at URL http://bugzilla.lyx.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&&target_milestone=1.2.1 As you may see, John has rescheduled all 1.2.1 bugs to 1.2.2 (thanks), leaving only this one: 443 enh P2 All [EMAIL PROTECTED] NEW Add Dekel's floatingfigure patch As the comments in the bug show, this patch needs a little more work, and I do not have much time for it. Moreover, this will _not_ be applied to 1.2.x before it is applied to 1.3.0cvs. So if somebody feels like taking a shot at it, be my guest. I think that the time has come to release 1.2.1. I will do that on monday if I can (sorry I won't be able to do it this week end). I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all these fixes have been checked in the branch BRANCH-1_2_X, which you can get with the command cvs checkout -d lyx-1_2_x -r BRANCH-1_2_X lyx-devel JMarc What's new ========== LyX 1.2.1 is a maintenance release which fixes many bugs in version 1.2.0. Its purpose is to make people wait while the developpers are busy preparing the next major release 1.3.0. There are a lot of fixes in there, and upgrading is highly recommended. ** Updates - it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0 when this gets released) - partial rewrite of the find & replace feature. This should solve most of the performance problems - new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog - revert to the old behaviour when creating new floats (figure, table...): the empty paragraph in the float now is a caption. It seems that 1.2.0 behaviour was confusing to many people - when the cursor is inside a collapsable inset, `Edit>Open/close float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should help entering of ERT insets) - update finnish, danish, french and russian localizations - update Tutorial to 1.2.x features - better support for entering cyrillic and greek alphabets - cleanup shortcuts for section layouts. Starred versions are now obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ..., M-p asterisk 6) - add keyboard shortcuts to the Documents menu - support the numpad direction keys as equivalent to normal cursor keys - it is now possible to specify a non-existant file name on the command line and have this file created for you - new class cl2emult; update template for IEEEtran; small update to heb-article and hollywood textclasses ** Bugfixes - fix positionning of cursor after undo - fix bug where error insets were not correctly removed - fix some cursor bugs with right-to-left languages - fix Arabic text rendering - fix opening of a bibitem inset in a RTL paragraph - do not open/collapse collapsable insets on mouse button 3 - fix a crash when using iso10646-1 encoding - fix bug where using case changing commands on the last word of a paragraph would change the whole document (without any undo possible!) - fix performance bugs when selecting with the mouse - in commands that operate on words (Insert>Index...), make sure not to include insets in words - save preamble too when using 'save as document defaults' in document layout dialog - fix startup of LyX when turkish locale is in effect - fix latex output when there is a font change around a float or a tabular (this fixes compatibility with some 1.1.6 files) - re-read correctly graphics insets when file name contains a comma - fix latex output when the name of a graphics file contains several "." - always pass filenames without extension to latex, so includegraphics can decide which extension is the right one - fix rotation angle of images to be the same as in latex output - fix the graphics inset file browser to use the right list of extensions (instead of list of formats) - fix support for 1.1.6 graphics files scaled as percentage of width or height - fix handling of 'no display' option in 1.1.6 figure insets - handle correctly fig and epsi files - handle correctly zipped eps files (others worked well) - fix the default rotation origin for graphics inset - fix the default tgif format entry to use .obj as file extension and not .tgif - fix reading of xpm files produced by some versions of imagemagick - fix conversion of some eps files - disable direct handling of ps files by the xforms image loader - do not ignore zero-length vertical spacing with 'keep' flag - fix drawing problems for collapsed ERT insets - fix drawing of math delimiters in the math panel - fix drawing of math delimiters in formulas - fix drawing of double quotes when they are not available in the screen font - fix bug where toolbar tips would not work at startup - disable 'Load' button of 'include file' dialog for verbatim include - highlight the search string on opening the Find&Replace dialog - fix bug in 'Insert cross reference' dialog where the list of labels and the buffer name may get out of sync - fix bug where cursor would jump when inserting fractions of superscripts in a math formula - fix key bindings for super/subscripts in maths - fix key bindings for greek letters Lambda and Psi in maths - fix access to minibuffer via M-x for sciword bindings - fix menu feedback for alignat, xalignat and xxalignat environments - fix translation of "reset" and "no change" in language combobox - when a document is registered though version control, make sure it has been saved - fix bug where the math parser would drop some pairs of braces - only use the amsmath package when it is needed - fix the spacing around fraction insets in math editor - make sure to use the graphicx package with the RasterBitmap and XFig external templates. - fix use of alignment commands in moving arguments (for LaTeX output) - fix interaction between sixpack and LyX via lyxserver - merge patches for win32 that were in 1.2.0 release from Claus Hentschel - make sure all temporary files are deleted at exit - fix command line crash and give useful exit status on some errors - fix the detection of cygwin in Reconfigure when the shell is not bash - fix latex import when using --with-version-suffix configure flag - make latex import script (reLyX) honor the LYX_DIR_12x envirnment variable, like the rest of LyX - honor --with-extra-XXX when searching for AikSaurus library - fix search for pspell library - fix support for alpha-based systems in boost library - fix compilation on AIX (unique_id identifier) - fix compilation with compaq cxx 6.3
