It resolves problems that affect +LyX on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) and, indeed, any program that depends upon the +passing of environment variables to sub-processes. Only users of OSX 10.10 +should upgrade to this version. + +LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based +on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is +released under a Free and Open Source Software license. + +You can download LyX 2.1.2.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. + +The remainder of this file describes the 2.1.2 release, which was the +second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. + +LyX 2.1.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version +even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made +a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage +all LyX users to upgrade to this version. + +The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem +that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, +sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes generally +happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, usually a +fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a crash when +trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That bug has +also been fixed. + +Do report your bugs, then! It really does help make LyX better, often in ways +you might not expect. + +So, if you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.2, open a bug report at +http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it +really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel +<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask. + +If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the +documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at +http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX +users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org). + +We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.2. + +The LyX team. +http://www.lyx.org + + +What's new +========== + +** Updates: +*********** + +* USER INTERFACE + +- Detect some additional postscript and pdf viewers when they are on the + system PATH (AcroRd32, SumatraPDF, gsview and qpdfview). + + +* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION + +- Update docs explaining how to activate reverse search in qpdfview. + +- New French translations of the beamer examples. + + +* BUILD/INSTALLATION + +- On Cygwin, use getent instead of grepping /etc/passwd for determining + the user's home directory when launching LyX through the gui wrapper. + + + +** Bug fixes: +************* + +* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT + +- Fix crash when saving certain documents with tables (bug 9049). + +- Fix crash when saving default template (bug 9236). + +- Do not sort advanced listings settings, since their insertion order is + relevant (bug 5203). + +- Fix import of latex documents with scaled fonts. + + +* LYX2LYX + +- Fix warning "Missing \use_indices" when converting from 1.6.x format + or older. + +- Fix several conversion problems of beamer box arguments when the + arguments use multiple ERTs (part of bug 9208, bug 9225, bug 9144). + +- Fix conversion of beamer overlay arguments when the module + "beamer-resenumerate" is used (part of bug 9208). + + +* USER INTERFACE + +- Do not forget last words of paragraphs in completion possibilities. + +- Select word on double click even when at boundary (bug 9159). + +- Fix listings inset parameter validation when font size is selected + (bug 8144). + +- Fix listings validator with regard to aboveskip and belowskip (bug 7373). + +- Fix reverse search in insets (figures, tables, branches, etc.) (bug 9151). + +- Fix on-screen display of images whose type is not known to LyX (bug 9146). + +- Fix the -geometry command line argument for Windows. + + +* INTERNALS + +- Improve thread-safety. + +- Fix potential bug spotted by cppcheck. + +- Fix problems arising when converting floating point values to the + corresponding string representation (bugs 9190 and 9193). + + +* BUILD/INSTALLATION + +- Fix compatibility issue with 64-bit cygwin.
