Hello, I am really happy to announce CJK-LyX-1.3.0, which is a patched version of lyx-1.3.0 for Chinese, Japanese and Korean language users. You can download the patch, RPM source and binary(redhat-8.0) at the usual ftp site,
ftp://stone.phys.pusan.ac.kr/ftp/pub/CJK-LyX . Please be aware that from this version on, CJK-LyX will depend on xforms-lib with vesion not earlier than 1.0. Why? From this version, the xforms-lib became open-source, and the needed internationalization of the lib can be implemented more easily. In fact, we have made a heavy patch againt official xforms-1.0, which CJK-LyX-1.3.0 critically depends on. So users of CJK-LyX should install our patched xforms-lib(xforms-1.0-i18n) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ which you can download the patch, rpm source or binaries from the above ftp site. CJK-LyX-1.3.0 has a couple of important improvements over the previous versions. 1. With our patched xforms-lib, you can now input CJK-charcters on any part of lyx. You can even input file name in CJK-chars. 2. Cursor movement owned by the local input server is much improved. It is not perfect yet, but is improving! 3. You can now Find & Search CJK-characters as well. But Spellchecking CJK-chars has not been implemented (Anyone how to do?) As you all know, we, the CJK-LyX users, have been helped by the pool of lyx developers. But this time, Angus Leeming's contributions for the release of this CJK-LyX have been so critical that without his help CJK-LyX-1.3.0 could never come out this early. Last couple of weeks, we had numerous(my count went beyond 40 !) communication sessions--usually my question and his answer-- to develop the internationalization of xforms. He also gave a hand to polish CJK-LyX. I admire his kindness, generosity, endurance and professional skills. He really deserves our, the CJK-LyX user's, Big applause !! So, enjoy LyX, and enjoy GNU spirit. Regards, cghan
