This is the fifth, +and final, maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. + +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 2.1.5 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. + +LyX 2.1.5 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. Many of these were minor, but there were a +few crashes we fixed, too. We strongly encourage all LyX users who wish +to continue using 2.1.x to upgrade to this version. + +One of the main features of 2.1.5 is its ability to read and write files +in the 2.2.x format. Since the conversion process back and forth usually +will not leave one with an identical file, however, we do not recommend +attempting to collaborate with users of 2.2.x. + +If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.5, please 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. Note that, since this is the final release in +the 2.1.x series, you may want to try one of the newer 2.2.x releases. Some +bugs not fixed here are fixed there. + +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 2.1.5. + +The LyX team. +http://www.lyx.org + + + +What's new +========== + +** Updates: +*********** + +* USER INTERFACE + +- Add \ensuremath to the list of math completions. + +- The entries in the outliner are no longer truncated at 40 chars (bug 9579). + +- The indentation of beamer frame contents has been decreased and unified. + +- In mathed, select only current cell on double-click (bug 9747). + + +* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION + +- New German translation of the PDF-comment example file. + +- Updated Brazilian Portuguese, French and German user interface localization. + +- Updated example file for PDF-comments. + +- Improved example file for the moderncv document class. + +- Updated French translation of Linguistics manual. + +- Revised Spanish Tutorial manual. + +- Revised French UserGuide manual. + + + +** Bug fixes: +************* + +* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT + +- Fixed a typo in the tutorial. + +- Tex2lyx: fix bug with comments immediately folowed by some test (bug 9551). + + +* USER INTERFACE + +- Fix crash when activating "Close All" while an export process is running + in the background (bug 9711). + +- Fix crash when unfolding/copying macros containing other macros (bug 9490). + +- Fix crash when inserting a line in multline math environment (bug 9902). + +- Fix crash when closing buffer one of whose children is also a child of + other master (bug 9907). + +- Fix crash when clicking to the left of a tabular inset (bug 9955). + +- Fix assertion when selecting text just after loading document (bug 9912). + +- Fix automatic insertion of longtable captions (bug 9692). + +- Fix crash with previewed math shown in two views of the same document + (bug 9957). + +- Fix setting of nested minipage via the dialog (bug 8716). + +- Reset cursor language when changing document-wide language (bug 9586). + +- Reset cursor font when leaving an inset to the left (bug 6032). + +- Reset cursor font when navigating with find or spellcheck (bug + 9500). + +- Reset cursor font after inset-select-all (bug 9719). + +- Fix one case where cursor does not enter insets correctly (bug 9913). + +- Correctly update previews when cursor leaves inset (bug 6173). + +- Fix subscripts and superscripts of \overrightarrow and related macros + (bug 1996). + +- Fix a crash with the outliner when switching documents (bug 9754). + +- Repaired selection of text and search-and-replace in the presence of math + macros.
