Hello,
Yesterday's status update gave great results, so it is time for
another one. Let me recall that all these fixes have been checked in
the branch lyx-1_1_5, which you can get with the command
cvs checkout -d lyx-1_1_5 -r lyx-1_1_5 lyx-devel
I advise those of you who want the 1.1.5 series to stabilize rapidly
to check out this branch and try it out. As far as I know, it cannot
be worse than 1.1.5, anyway.
In order to speed up a bit the release work on fix1, here is a small
status document showing what has been done, and what has to be done.

What's new
==========
** New features [yes I know there should not be new features, but these
were almost bugs]
- New lyxrc command \set_color, to set the colors of the GUI elements
in the document [a functionality present in 1.1.4, but not in 1.1.5]
- new Makefile target "bindist", so that we can try again to have
binary distributions of LyX.
** Bugfixes
- fix crash in lyxsum() when running LaTeX (with older stream libraries).
- fix crash in the spellchecker (with older stream libraries).
- fix crash related to clipboard
- fix crash when closing index popup from window manager.
- better dependency for latex runs.
- disappearing cursor in some situations
- fix bug in configure where installation would fail in the reLyX
directory in some cases.
- fix bug in the install-strip Makefile target
- make sure the .kmap files exist when a keymap is specified.
** Other: documentation update, UI translation updates (translators,
please send me updated po files for 1.1.5!)
Remaining problems
==================
These are bugs which are probably small, and appeared recently. Good
clients fir a fix release. Note that they exist in 1.1.6 too, so we'll
have to fix them eventually. Please send me references to the ones I
forgot.
** Bugs that I would like to fix before fix1. Send in the fixes :)
- the documentation should be reviewed to indicate the 1.1.5fix1 is a
stable release (should some english-speaking volunteer have a look?).
- closing the url inset popup from the WM may eventually lead to a crash.

- mangled minibuffer after resizing the main window. I can't find a
reference, but the effect is obvious (and recent). Could it be a
consequence of Lars' recent changes to scrollbars? Or simply a flaw
of the WorkArea? More generally, the minibuffer is strange since
when you click in it, the text does not disappear.
** Bugs that we should fix but are not urgent:
- bad karma between \noindent and Description
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg11759.html
- the TOC popup stays in front of the main window [I cannot reproduce
this, so it maybe wm-related]
