LyX 1.0.0pre7 990106 snapshot
Hello, Since our fearless leader Lars is not here to make new prereleases of LyX for everybody's consumption, I decided to make a snapshot of the current cvs repository available from my own WWW space. It can be found at http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~lasgoutt/lyx/lyx-1.0.0pre7-990107.tar.gz or http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~lasgoutt/lyx/lyx-1.0.0pre7-990107.tar.bz2 The .bz2 version is somewhat smaller, and you need bzip2 to unpack it. Here is what the CHANGES file has to say about recent events: since 1.0.0pre6 - first draft of german translation of Extended.lyx (Pit) - Fix a bug with spaces in math labels (Alejandro) - Set the timeout for ispell to 15 seconds instead of 2 (JMarc) - Make the update button of Insert->Cross_Reference remember what the current entry was (JMarc) - fix bug where bibliography insets were not deleted when switching to another layout (JMarc) - fix the change case functions which did not work (and corrupted memory) after footnotes (JMarc) - fix newly introduced bug which prevented Compose key from working (JMarc) - Added french menu bindings fr_menus.bind; not yet complete (Emmanuel) - Protected spaces are output as plain spaces in LaTeX code (Edmar) - Better support for Aspell (Kevin Atkinson) Please test the new changes, especially if you reported a bug which is supposed to be fixed now. Have fun. JMarc -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.
LyX executable size
...more out of interest than anything else: why is my LyX 1.0.0pre6 binary 800Kb bigger than pre2? I've checked obvious things like it not being stripped (they both are), and they're both linked to the same set of shared libraries. The only difference I can think of is having upgraded from GCC to EGCS between the two compiles, but surely that hasn't changed things so much (both binaries were compiled with the default compiler options anyway, of -O2). I am currently awaiting with interest the compilation of the pre7 snapshot I've just downloaded... -- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rrt1001/ | maxim, n. wisdom for fools -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

(i.e., is your libstdc++ shared for egcs?) JMarc -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.
How to change the float placement?
Is it possible to change the float placement optins for a single float in LyX? I know about the box in the Layout|Document menu, but I want to tune the placement of a particular float.

One use of protected spaces is to ensure that "Figure 1" all ends up on the same line. I use this regularly (and in fact have thought about updating the LaTeX output routines to replace a space before a reference with a protected space). For this reason (and no doubt others that I can't think of off the top of my head), outputing plain spaces instead of protected spaces is not acceptable, at least as an unchangeable default.

Note that LaTeX code is the so-called ``Evil Red Text'', that is explicit LaTeX code. In this mode you can always use ~ to get a protected space. The best way to fix this bug is probably to modify the CHANGES entry ;) JMarc

However, you can try the following (dirty) trick: put as the first characters of your float (before the image) the float placement option marked as LaTeX (for ex. [ht]). Hope this helps.
