First, you've to pass all information through a socket or pipe and you need a client for every language which dispatches this information and provides an appropriate interface for the desired language => the lyx server solution doubles the work. If someone needs something like the lyx server, he still can use the integrated script language to provide something like the lyx server... Further, the lyx server solution looks very home brewed to me, there are standard solutions like CORBA. If I make patches to integrate Python directly into Lyx, is there a chance that they make it into the official sources? As I can see with my current knowledge about the lyx sources and the Python lib, the changes to the existing sources will be very little for basic scripting functions, it's mainly extra code in extra source files.

Some major elitist boobs on that froup, eh? This particular quote of Kastrup is especially telling: > My main point of criticism is not that I found LyX not yet > to be where you would want it to be, but rather that where > you would want it to be is not what I would consider useful > for my purposes. And therefore, according to Kastrup, it's a total waste of time. Sheesh. My experience -- it took three good trys to get used to the way that LyX works. Eventually, something clicked. The Kastrups of this world go in with the mindset that it's lame, it's broken; and then they throw the most complex examples that they can find at LyX in hopes that it *does* break so they can bash it some more. I took the time to learn how to use LyX effectively, and I find that it's major limitation stems from LaTeX's restricted page layouts. IOW, LyX isn't the problem, LaTeX is.

Small bugs/requests
Hi, - Please add the following two converters to complete Tgif support Tgif -> EPS:tgif -print -eps $$i Tgif -> PDF:tgif -print -pdf $$i When starting with a tgif file, pdflatex produces bad output; starting with an eps file (generated by tgif), pdflatex output looks OK; why? which converters are actually invoked? Are bitmap formats involved? - LyX's cursor is blinking even after switching to another window; is this intended? Most (all?) other X editors get quiet when being put in the background Michael
Re: 1.2.0
Hello, just a few comments: I don't think that the current code is that unstable. I am using it for my daily work and while there are still some rough edges, stability is not the primary problem any more. IMHO releasing an interim 1.1.7 (with coloured warnings printed all over the screen) is not a good idea. There is already an unstable version out there and it's called 1.1.6. Moreover, the next version will provide so many new and exiting features that it would be a pity if you cannot put it on the market with a big bang! What are the current open issues? - Undo/redo memory leaks/corruption That seems indeed to be a bigger problem - X Window problems Yes, they exist even with Xform 0.89.6. I get messages about "BadDrawable" and "Received unhandled X11 event". However, all these problem occurred only within the last few weeks so it should be possible to trace the problem by looking at the Changelogs - Copying a figure into another document makes LyX crash - BufferView::removeAutoInsets is broken - pasting text from ERTs is broken On the other hands, there are already a few fixes floating around: - Juergen V. has proposed a patch for ERTs - John has proposed another patch for ERTs and a related problem with tables What happened to them??? After all, I think the situation is not as bad as it looks. Unfortunately, I cannot help you fixing the code but if you need more Purify reports, I become your servant. Maybe I can even activate a former collegue that helps us creating detailed bug reports. Have a nice day, Michael
