I think we should provide a link to the preview-latex homepage in the NEWS file.

Ok.

See attachment for patch.

I also wonder whether we should activate preview-latex by default

No. There are still rough edges (display jumping) and there are
conceptual problems (fancy preambles) that make this wonderful feature
unusable under some circumstances. It certainly should not default to on.

I know the first problem and I would be happy to see a fix for it. But what is the second problem (fancy preambles)?

BTW: Has anybody tested the new version 0.7.8? They have changed the handling of color.sty. Maybe this is related to the problem mentioned above or the LyX color handling.

nd how we draw the user's attention to this wonderful feature. I guess
many users will not use it simply because they don't know it (of course,
the same applies for aiksaurus, pspell, and checktex). Maybe we should
add a section to "About LyX">"Version" concerning available/missing
third-party libraries?

Like putting in configure output?

Yes, I guess so. Unfortunately, I don't have enough knowledge to provide a patch for it.
