How do I upgrade my existing LyX system to version 1.2.x? |

If you upgrade from version 1.1.6 or 1.1.5, you shouldn't have any |
|---|
| 5 |
problems. It is nevertheless a good idea to advise all users to run |
|---|
| 6 |
Edit->Reconfigure. |

If you have your own layout files, you may need to update them a little: |
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 |
- all layout files should have a "DefaultStyle" entry |
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 |
- the "Latex" font style does not exist anymore. If you really need |
|---|
| 13 |
its functionality, consider using the "PassThru" keyword instead. |
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 |
The new layout format keywords are described in the Customization |
|---|
| 16 |
manual. |
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 |
If you have your own binding files (especially math.bind), you will |
|---|
| 19 |
have to update them |
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
- math-insert now takes a latex macro name as argument, so that |
|---|
| 22 |
"math-insert sqrt" should now be "\math-insert \sqrt" |
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 |
- math-greek-toggle is now gone, and should be replaced by explicit |
|---|
| 25 |
bindings like |
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 |
\bind "M-m g a" "math-insert \alpha" |
|---|
| 28 |

LyX's graphics handling system has changed substantially. If you |
|---|
| 33 |
do not have the JPEG library installed, you may need to install |
|---|
| 34 |
it before you can use the graphics capabilities of LyX. If you |
|---|
| 35 |
do not have the ImageMagick command-line tools installed, you |
|---|
| 36 |
will need to modify the default set up of LyX, or install them, |
|---|
| 37 |
in order to get previews of your document's graphics. |
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 |
Note: if you are using convert, and the graphics won't load in LyX, |
|---|
| 40 |
then you are probably seeing a bug in earlier versions of ImageMagick. |
|---|
| 41 |
You can either upgrade ImageMagick, change the convertor to use |
|---|
| 42 |
"convert -depth 8", which shold work around the problem, or set up |
|---|
| 43 |
a convertor to use a different conversion program as described in |
|---|
| 44 |
the documentation. |

Document transfer |
|---|
| 49 |
----------------- |
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 |
In general, you don't need to convert any documents saved with LyX |
|---|
| 52 |
1.1.5 or 1.1.6 to use them with LyX 1.2.0. |
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 |
Older versions of LyX cannot read documents saved with LyX 1.2.0. |
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 |
LyX 1.2.0 can read most documents saved with lyx 1.1.6 correctly. |
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 |
If you were previously using the floatflt paragraph option to |
|---|
| 59 |
wrap text around a figure, you will need to modify this for LyX 1.2.0 |
|---|
| 60 |
manually, as described in the manuals. Please ask on the lyx-users |
|---|
| 61 |
list for assistance if you have trouble with this. |
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 |
Note that your document may rely on the floatflt package (for example, |
|---|
| 64 |
you may use \floatingfigure via LaTeX commands). If your document does |
|---|
| 65 |
not have "\usepackage{floatflt}" already in the user pre-amble, you will |
|---|
| 66 |
need to add it. |
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 |
The babel package is now loaded after the user-defined |
|---|
| 69 |
preamble (because some packages really need to be loaded before |
|---|
| 70 |
babel). If you relied, on babel being loaded before your own |
|---|
| 71 |
definitions, you can add an extra "\usepackage{babel}" statement at |
|---|
| 72 |
the beginning of your preamble. |

If you are using the minipage paragraph options in your document, you |
|---|
| 77 |
may find that LyX 1.2.0 fails to import them correctly as minipages. |
|---|
| 78 |
This might require some editing to correct this. If you have |
|---|
| 79 |
trouble with this, please ask the lyx-users mailing list for assistance, |
|---|
| 80 |
and we will be happy to help. |
