First of all, thanks for the good job...

Recently I managed to install the new LyX on the
Sun-Server of our site.

There was one complaint now:
The dvi-preview (View-DVI) doesn't respect the
current settings of Paper orientation at least (Size?).

The cause of this is the check for the presence of the
parameter \view_dvi_paper_option -paper for the viewer.

Maybe, there is an issue here with install?

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.2.1 is released

2002-08-21 Thread Jean-Marc Lasgouttes


We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.2.1.

LyX 1.2.1 is a maintenance release which fixes many bugs in version
1.2.0. We hope in this way to enhance world happiness, allowing the
developers to continue busily to prepare the next major release
1.3.0. There are a lot of fixes in there, and upgrading is highly
recommended.

In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:

  LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages an
  approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their
  appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving details of 
  visual layout to the software.

  LyX runs on many Unix platforms (including MacOS X), OS/2, and under
  Windows/Cygwin. Note that all these ports use the same xforms interface 
  and therefore need an X server. 


You can download LyX 1.2.1 here :

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.2.1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.2.1.tar.gz

Prebuild binaries (mainly rpms for linux distributions) are available
at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.2.1

If you already have LyX 1.2.0 sources, you may want to apply the
following patch instead
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.2.1.gz  
 
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.2.1, you may either
e-mail the LyX user's mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), or open
a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/, and e-mail the LyX user's list if you
can't find an answer there.  
 
** Updates

- it is now possible to build LyX with xforms 1.0rc4 (and probably 1.0
  when this gets released) 

- partial rewrite of the find  replace feature. This should solve most of
  the performance problems

- new option `keep aspect ratio' in graphics dialog

- revert to the old behaviour when creating new floats (figure,
  table...): the empty paragraph in the float now is a caption. It
  seems that 1.2.0 behaviour was confusing too many people

- it is now possible to set the float placement parameters to
  document defaults

- when the cursor is inside a collapsible inset, `EditOpen/close
  float' will leave it after the inset after closing it (this should
  help entering of ERT insets)

- update Finnish, Danish, French and Russian localizations

- update Tutorial to 1.2.x features

- better support for entering Cyrillic and Greek alphabets

- cleanup shortcuts for section layouts. Starred versions are now
  obtained by prepending a * to the section number (M-p asterisk 0, ...,
  M-p asterisk 6)

- add keyboard shortcuts to the Documents menu

- support the numpad direction keys as equivalent to normal cursor
  keys

- it is now possible to specify a non-existent file name on the command
  line and have this file created for you

- new class cl2emult; update template for IEEEtran; small update to
  heb-article and hollywood textclasses

** Bug fixes

- fix positioning of cursor after undo

- fix bug where error insets were not correctly removed

- fix some cursor bugs with right-to-left languages

- fix Arabic text rendering

- fix opening of a bibitem inset in a RTL paragraph

- do not open/collapse collapsible insets on mouse button 3

- fix a crash when using iso10646-1 encoding

- fix bug where using case changing commands on the last word of a
  paragraph would change the whole document (without any undo possible!)

- fix performance bugs when selecting with the mouse

- in commands that operate on words (InsertIndex...), make sure not
  to include insets in words

- save preamble too when using 'save as document defaults' in document
  layout dialog

- fix startup of LyX when Turkish locale is in effect

- fix latex output when there is a font change around a float or a
  tabular (this fixes compatibility with some 1.1.6 files)

- re-read correctly graphics insets when file name contains a comma

- fix latex output when the name of a graphics file contains several .

- always pass filenames without extension to latex, so includegraphics
  can decide which extension is the right one 

- fix rotation angle of images to be the same as in latex output

- fix the graphics inset file browser to use the right list of
  extensions (instead of list of formats)

- fix support for 1.1.6 graphics files scaled as percentage of width
  or height

- fix handling of 'no display' option in 1.1.6 figure insets

- handle correctly fig and epsi files

- handle correctly zipped eps files (others worked well)

- fix the default rotation origin for graphics inset

- fix the default tgif format entry to use .obj as file extension and
  not .tgif

- fix reading of xpm files produced by some versions of imagemagick

- fix conversion of some eps files

- disable direct handling of ps files by the xforms image loader

- do not ignore zero-length vertical spacing with 'keep' flag

- fix drawing problems for
