We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.3. This is the third maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is released under a Free and Open Source Software license. You can download LyX 2.1.3 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. LyX 2.1.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this version. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.3, open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org) and ask. If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org). We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.3. The LyX team. http://www.lyx.org What's new ========== ** Updates: *********** * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT - Add support for some conference poster classes (a0poster, beamerposter, sciposter) (bug 8714). - Add support for the sectionbox and tcolorbox packages (part of bug 8714). - Add support for PDF annotations (via pdfcomment package) (bug 6975). * TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS - Support for bibliographies using the package bibtopic. - Support for textual references (LaTeX-command \namref from the package nameref). - Support for items in itemize environments that have an optional argument. - Support for the math font of the Iwona and Kurier font families. - Support for the Libertine fonts. - Support for a relative length as paragraph separation. - Support for relative lengths in horizontal and vertical spaces. - Support for glue lengths in horizontal and vertical spaces. * USER INTERFACE - References no longer truncated in outliner (bug 9312). - Allow computing selected subformulas with computer algebra systems. - Number correctly footnotes in title layouts (part of bug 2666). - Ctrl+A is now bound to inset-select-all, which does a local selection (current inset) and grows at each new invokation. Try it! - Debug options in message pane are now sorted alphabetically. * DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION- New example file "PDF-comment.lyx" describing the support for PDF annotations.
- Updated Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Slovak and Swedish user interface localization. ** Bug fixes: ************* * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT - Fix crash on exporting a recursive math macro (bug 9140). Recursive macros are invalid, so typesetting will still fail with "TeX capacity exceeded". - Fix baseline calculation in last paragraph (bug 9231). - Fix export of xfig external insets (bug 9244). - Fix incorrect output of ampersands when multiple keys are given for a citation (bug 9296). - Output package options (specified with PackageOptions layout tag) before loading any potentially affected package (bug 9355). - Fix export of documents that use the LaTeX-packages mhchem and wasysym (bug 9266). - Remove unnecessary preamble code in LaTeX export of documents using the class REVTeX 4.1 file (bug 4625). - Fix for improper environment with duplicate PATH variable entries. This happens on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) where launchd(8) passes such an environment to LyX when started from the dock (bug 9317). - Protect insets when needed in subfloat captions (bug 9346). - Do not swallow spaces in text-in-math mode (bug 7970). - Do not insert a protected space after some math-spaces (bug 9319). - Fix problem when some special characters appear in the document directory name on Windows (bug 9342). * LYX2LYX - Fix import of LyX 2.0 documents with complex beamer arguments (bug 9254). - Fix import of LyX 2.0 IEEEtran documents (bug 9273). - Fix import of Chunk layout with trailing empty paragraph (bug 9298). - Fix import of chunk layouts containing newlines (bug 9300). - Maintain paragraph settings (alignment etc.) when importing chunk layouts (bug 9320).- Fix export to LyX 2.0 of chunk insets without optional argument (bug 9343).
- Fix import of ERT beamer block titles which are preceeded by a language switch. - Fix and simplify paragraph params parsing in get_containing_layout. * USER INTERFACE - Fix alignment rendering of multirow in LyX (bug 8976). - Fix mapping of ISO_Left_Tab key, which was erroneously assigned to Tab (instead of BackTab).- Disallow to insert program listings to footnotes and margin notes (bug 9321).
- Fix computer algebra system computations in formulas with '=' signs. - Fix rendering of \varOmega on OS X (bug 7954). - Only allow 1 paragraph in footnotes when they are part of a title layout (bug 2666). - When switching classes, warn user about all unapplied document changes (1. part of bug 9356). - When adding a module, warn user about all unapplied document changes (2. part of bug 9356). - Do not enable the Apply button in the document dialog just because a module was selected in the widget (without actual change) (bug 9365). - Fix logic of "Maintain aspect ratio" checkbox in the graphics dialog (bug 9357). - Fix most frequent reason for crash while editing with open view source window (bug 9336). - Fix crash when pasting citation into math formula (bug 9302). * INTERNALS - Fix wrong test in LyX server. - Fix possible memory corruption on copying to the clipboard. - Fix possible memory corruption during LaTeX log file parsing. - Make some math messages translatable (bug 1908). * DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION - Fix language settings for all IEEEtran templates (bug 9350). - The template document for REVTeX 4.1 has been rewritten. * LYXHTML - Fix export of \ll, \gg, \ne and \neq in math formulas (bug 9372). * TEX2LYX - Do not ignore table columns with unknown column specifiers (bug 9311). - Parse tikzpicture environment correctly (bug 9011). - Fix misparsing of \textgreek without polyglossia (bug 8553). - Parse post command argument insets (bug 8473). - Parse parsing of verbatim options containing commands (bug 9113). * BUILD/INSTALLATION - Fix some compiler warnings. - Fix a few minor issues in the RPM spec file template (bug 9349).
