Dear LyX Users, I am glad to announce the release of LyX 1.1.5fix2, which fixes many bugs present in versions 1.1.5 and 1.1.5fix1. While fix2 has no new features, you are advised to upgrade to this version, which should prove more stable. You can get it at: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.1.5fix2.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.5fix2.tar.gz A patch against 1.1.5fix1 is available at: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.1.5fix2.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/patch-1.1.5fix2.gz Binary RPMs for Redhat Linux/i386 are available at: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.1.5fix2/lyx-1.1.5fix2-1.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.5fix2-1.i386.rpm What's new ========== ** Bugfixes - fix problem where format version of a .lyx file was written as 2,16 instead of 2.16 and could not be read back correctly. - check when writing lyx files failed due to some stream error (in particular not enough disk space). - increase limit on the number of menus from 32 to 128 (useful for documents with many sections or labels). - fix display problems with math macros. - fix error box positionning with math macros. - add missing \protect around fragile math decorations. - allow entering @ in math insets. - improve parsing of some LaTeX errors. - fix parsing of LaTeX errors for literate programming documents. - fix crash when copying bibliography insets. - fix crash with the character layout popup with some locales. - Better behavior when a RTL paragraph is ended by LTR text. - fix bug with RTL table floats. - fix parsing of \set_color arguments in lyxrc. - speed-up redrawing when doing backspace on the last line of a paragraph. - clear the minibuffer when clicking on it. - remove temporary directories when using lyx --export. - remove description of pdf support on lyxrc.example, since this does not work in this version. - hopefully fix compilation problems on Redhat 7.0 and Irix 6.5. ** Updates - fix czech keymap. - update sciword.bind. - update hollywood, amsart, amsbook and revtex4 classes; new class siamltex. - the language "francais" has been removed from the list; one should use "french" instead (or the GUTenberg version) - Other: documentation update (new localised Table of Contents), UI translation updates (translators, please send me updated po files for 1.1.5fix2!). Remaining problems ================== These are bugs which are probably small, and mostly appeared recently. Good clients for a fix release. Note that they exist in 1.1.6 too, so we'll have to fix them eventually.
