This is the first +maintenance release in the 2.0.x series. + +LyX 2.0.1 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 encourage all +LyX users to upgrade to this version. + +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 2.0.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. + +If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.1, either e-mail the LyX +developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org), or open a bug +report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. + +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 2.0.1. + +The LyX team. +http://www.lyx.org + + +What's new in LyX 2.0.1 +======================= + +The support for using external files in ERT has been improved by the +introduction of a prefix for the TEXINPUTS environment variable. +This prefix can be set in preferences and by default includes the +document directory (represented by a single '.'). The prefix can +be set to any list of paths separated by the default separator for +a given platform (':' on unix like systems and ';' on windows). +When a file should be included by LaTeX, the paths listed in TEXINPUTS +will be searched in turn for finding it. Note that any non-absolute +path listed in the TEXINPUTS prefix is considered to be relative to the +document directory, i.e., the directory where the LyX file lives. +Users are advised to always include '.' (the document dir) as one of +the path components, otherwise compilation may fail for some documents. +This is because the previous (undocumented) mechanism based on the use +of the \input@path macro has been dropped. The old mechanism did not +work in all cases and was kind of a hack. Old documents using that +undocumented hack for obtaining the path of the LyX file will have to +be revised. A clean way for obtaining the document path is using the +info inset through the "info-insert buffer path" LyX function. + + +** Updates: +*********** + +* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT + +- Allow for a maximum of 3 minutes for the completion of a spawned command + except on Windows, where 30 minutes are allowed. This is because the + Windows installer may trigger MiKTeX updates that suffer from network + latencies. + +- Improved XHTML output of various fractions. + +- A prefix for the TEXINPUTS environment variable can be specified in the + preferences. The directory of a LyX document is represented by a single + dot '.' or by the prefix "./". Also, any non-absolute path will be + prepended with the LyX document directory. + +- Updated templates to current LyX format, so no conversion will be + needed. + +- Allow LaTeX import of \uline (bug 7640). + +- Fix compilation error occurring when a LyX document resides in a directory + whose name contains characters that are special to LaTeX (bug 6170). + + +* USER INTERFACE + +- Updated Czech, French, German, Japanese, Interlingua, Italian, Polish, + Portuguese, Serbian (Latin), Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian User + Interface Localization. + +- Now it is not necessary to restart LyX after changing the default + document directory and/or the PATH prefix in the preferences for them + to take effect. + +- Menu View->Source for documents with XHTML default output format now displays + only the current paragraph, except when complete source is requested + (bug 7463). + +- Size tab now enables and disables correctly depending on the capabilities + configured for the current external template (selected via the combo). + +- Sort entries in the "More Formats and Options" dialog (bug 7714). + +- Enable "Accept compound" preference setting for Aspell backend only. + Reconfigure the aspell backend when "Accept compound" preference is + changed immediately. + + +* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION + +- UserGuide: + - new section how to define custom header/footer lines + (bug 7196). + - new section about customized lists + - new section about comparison of LyX documents + - new section about the document's colors settings + - revised Appendix A and B + +- EnbeddedObjects manual: + - describe that LyX supports now the changing of the color of the + greyed-out box text + - new chapter about objects surrounded by text + +- Math manual: add a note about column limit for decorated matrices. + +- Updated French documentation files. + +- updated template file for the latest version of the ACM siggraph + LaTeX-package. + +- updated layout and template file for the latest version of the IJMPC + LaTeX-package. + +- updated layout and template file for the latest version of the IJMPD + LaTeX-package. + + +** Bug fixes: +************* + +* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT + +- Fixed crash when outputing the unitone command to XHTML or when using + such commands with mathematica, octave, or maple. + +- Fix output of non-TeX font names with non-ASCII characters and associated + assertion (bug 7569). + +- Fix output of decimally aligned columns in unviewed (on screen) tables. + +- Fix problem with indentation of bibliography items. Note that older files + may still exhibit this problem, since the label string "References" (or a + translation of it) may have been written to the file. + +- Inform user of unknown layouts caused by class change (bug 7571). + +- Avoid LaTeX errors if font changing commands are used in the wrong mode + by assuring to switch to the right mode on export. + +- Fix validation problem with user macros (bug 7525). + +- Improve import of LaTeX documents with non-ASCII contents before loading + the inputenc package (bug 7509). + +- The export format DVI (LuaTeX) is now correctly created (bug 7713). +

7608). + +- On Windows, allow to automatically switch TeX engines without the need + of manually saving the preferences after reconfiguring (bug 7557). + +- Fix DVI forward search on Windows when compiling with MSVC. + +- Calculate relative pathnames to master documents when master is in a + directory above the child (bug 7540). + +- On Windows, improve detection of the TeX engine when the
