The 1.4.2 change list is steadily growing, and it is almost time to

I tend to think that 1940 and 2016 are not very important anymore now
that we have autoopen. Actually, I have a patch for 2016 that would
just work if we decided to drop support for 1.3.x preference files
(where viewers are different). Georg, I remember you told me you would
try to fix this. Do you have any idea?
2231 is almost fixed (as in, it is supposed to be fixed, but Bennett
still have problems).
The patch for 2251 could probably be applied.
I am not sure what to do with 2256.
What else is on the plate for 1.4.2?
- we need to see the mythical windows installer to check that
everything is OK. Joost, if you can produce an installer of the
current 1.4.2svn and show us a tarball of the sources, now would be
a good time to give feedback.
- it would be nice to implement autoopen for OSX. Bennett, do you
think you can have a go at it? I can try to write some code
according to the specs if it helps.
- the clean_dvi issue is not settled yet, I think.
- there are still some problems with OSX packaging that have not been
solved.
What else?

This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.4.2
All comments are welcome.
I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
these fixes have been checked in the branch BRANCH_1_4_X, which you
can get with the command
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_4_X lyx-1.4.x

What's new
==========
** Updates
- Update Hungarian localization of the interface.
- Update translations of documentation for German (all) and Hungarian
(Introduction, splash document, new tutorial examples).
- Add support for Austrian (new spelling) as document language.
- Add "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format. This new output format produces
.tex files that are suitable for pdflatex, including figure conversion
to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.
- Add biographynophoto style to IEEEtran.layout.
- Add new function buffer-toggle-compression (and entry in Document
menu) to change whether the file will be compressed on disk or not.
- Add buttons for \overset and \underset to the math panel (bug 2533)
** Bug fixes
* Document input/output:
- Convert definitions of itemize and enumerate environments in old layout
files correctly.
- Fix conversion of minipages (default height and inner vertical
position) from 1.3.
- Make sure that the amsmath package is used in LaTeX output when
using the AMS-specific commands \xleftarrow, \xrightarrow or
array constructs split, gathered, aligned and alignedat (bug 2149).
- Load the tipa package automatically when needed.
- Properly strike out deleted math formulas when change tracking is
active (bug 2214).
- Don't get confused by 0-Characters in MikTeX logfiles anymore.
- Always honor the "Requirement" tag in External Template Definitions.
- Fix tex2lyx to handle whitespace in front of required arguments (bug 2546).
- Update templates and examples to latest file format.
- Make jpeg graphics with suffix in capital letters (.JPG) work with
pdflatex (bug 2235).
* Math editor:
- Fix metrics of AMS array environments like bmatrix, vmatrix etc. (bug 2036).
- Fix undo in matrices.
* User Interface:
- Much better performance when using natbib/jurabib citations (bug 2460).
- Don't jump back to previous cursor position when trying to click on
an inset (bug 2526).
- LyX now automatically uses file viewers and editors set at OS level
[windows only].
- Automatically use fonts in the fonts/ subdirectory of LyX support
directory in windows.
- Disable saving of bookmarks in mathed for it is not yet supported
and makes LyX crash (bug 2597).
- Fix crash when pasting contents from the clipboard to a tabular
(bug 2603).
- When pasting contents to a tabular with the middle mouse button, the
language has sometimes be changed. This is fixed now.
- Fix unconditional movement of the cursor outside of a tabular when
opening the tabular dialog.
- Text copied from an ERT box has no longer the pseudo "latex" language
(bug 2476).
- Fix crash when selecting and deleting "blue" paragraph break in CT mode.
- Set change tracking marks properly when copying between documents
with different change tracking status (bug 2207).
- Fix remaining "ghost" empty paragraphs when selecting and deleting multiple
paragraphs (bug 2516).
- Fix display of horizontal fill which appears at the end of a line
(bug 2508).
- Fix crash when changing document class while the cursor is inside a table
* Configuration/Installation:
- Replace the old sh version of lib/configure with the new python version
lib/configure.py.
- It is not needed anymore to run lib/configure.py in the main LyX
support directory.
- Reading of configuration now goes like this: LyX first reads the file
lyxrc.init (if it exists). If lib/configure.py is newer than
either lyxrc.defaults, textclass.lst or packages.lst, it is re-run
before loading lyxrc.defaults and preferences.
- Fix lib/configure.py to find tex2lyx when compiling with
--with-version-suffix (bug 2285).
- Fix lib/configure.py to find tex2lyx if the path to it contains spaces.
- Fix the code to find interface localization under Windows and Mac OS X.
- remove --enable-compression-support option of configure. Compression
support via zlib is now a requirement.
- When compiling with --with-version-suffix under windows, do not
rename the executable files.
- Make LyX/Win work under windows 98.
- Fix compilation on DragonFly BSD.
