OK, LyX 1.2.2 is getting closer. However, I just commited a patch to
remove special epsi support, and I would like to make sure that it
still works. Could some people try it out please? Just try your most
wicked eps files and tell me what does not work.

Other new things include

- some updated translations

- fix problems with reading \limits in mathed

- fix infinite redraw in large tables

- updates to sciword bindings (and removal of accent-vector)

Lars, the machine on which I can make a distribution is behind a
firewall. Do you think you could do a distribution for me?

This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.2.2.
All comments are welcome.

You can find a list of bugs pending for 1.2.2 at URL
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&&target_milestone=1.2.2

I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
these fixes have been checked in the branch BRANCH-1_2_X, which you
can get with the command
  cvs checkout -d lyx-1_2_x -r BRANCH-1_2_X lyx-devel

What's new
==========

** Updates

- selecting a word by double clicking now sets the X clipboard (like
  when dragging the mouse)

  particular, this means that it is possible to use browsers which
  require a file: URL as HTML viewers (mozilla is used as default if
  found)

- when a new LyX version is launched, the Edit>Reconfigure tool is
  automatically invoked; this should avoid many problems with users
  who are not aware that it is needed

- when changing the current layout with the toolbar, the corresponding
  keyboard binding is shown in the minibuffer

- in hebrew language, the key " now inserts a typewriter quote (since
  other quotes do not make sense in hebrew)
