What's new
==========
** Updates
- Update lyx2lyx to handle properly the latest LyX 1.4 format (245).
- New hungarian translation. Update Spanish translation.
- Update German documentation.
** Bug fixes
* Document input/output:
- Don't load the wasysym package automatically anymore (bug 1942)
- Fix crash with S-Home while entering a macro name (bug 2046)
- Do not delete selection when entering an index entry.
- Fix LaTeX output when a bibtex inset is used in a child document.
- Support tex4ht for Tex -> MS Word conversion
- Support the previewers kdvi, kpdf, and kghostview
* User Interface:
- Fix wrong path when drag-and-dropping files on Windows. [Qt only]
- Fix interaction of LyX with external clipboard (e.g. Klipper) (bug 1976).
- Ensure that no dialogs have one shortcut assigned to more than one action.
Always connect the OK button to the Alt-O shortcut. [Qt only]
- Ensure that the user cannot create a reference without first selecting
one in the reference dialog. [Qt only].
- The Return key is no longer bound to the Goto button in the reference
dialog. [Qt only].
- Double clicking in the reference dialog now inserts a reference
(bug 2187) [Qt only].
- Searching backwards in the citation dialog always skipped one result
(bug 2002). Fixed now.
- Do not trim spaces from either end of the find and replace strings in
the Edit->Find & Replace... dialog. [XForms only].
- Fix crash when trying to display current directory and ${HOME} is empty.
- Don't force alignment to BLOCK when switching to fixed width cell (bug 1840).
- Add key bindings for "primary-selection-paste".
- Fix some math key sequences for sciword.bind.
- On exit, don't attempt to unlock a mutex in the Qt library --- it
causes undefined behaviour and leads to a crash on NetBSD.
- Enable Instant Preview to work if the path to the external GhostScript
executable contains spaces. (bug 2193).
- The error/warning/confirmation dialogs aren't hidden behind the main
window anymore [Qt only] (bug 1977).
* Configuration/Installation:
- Enable TeXFiles.sh to run when its path contains spaces.
- Compile without STL compatibility support, since some systems do that
by default (Slackware, for ex.). [Qt only]
- Fix compilation with gcc 2.95 under OSX 10.4. This is useful because
LyX crashes on startup when compiled with gcc3.
- Fix compilation with Solaris/x86 (bug 992).
- Enable compilation of LyX on DragonFly BSD.
- Add missing cygwin support file in the distribution (bug 2035).
- Enable Windows boxes to recognize the hard-coded paths needed to run
LyX from the build tree.
