(just Nicolas to say : upgrade 1.0.4-1.1.4 seems OK) Yes, the change occured in 1.1.4fix2, I believe. Nicolas Moreover, the language option "francais" disappeared... why ? Nicolas I use "français" as language (especially for ispell). Use "french" or "french (gutemberg)". The "francais" option of babel is deprecated.

Re: announce lyx-1.1.6pre2; Look Feel
1) When I click with the mouse on a menu, e. g. View then the View menu opens. Fine. Now if I move the mouse right to the Navigate menu while the mouse button is still pressed I would expect that the Naviage menu opens and the View menu closes. But that doesn't happen. Why? 2) In the File-Save As Dialog: When I set the cursor in the middle of the filename and press the "Entf"-Key (I think it's called "Del" on english keyboard layouts) the character on the left side of the cursor is deleted instead of the right side 3) Same Dialog as in 2): If I press shift and cursor left/right I would expect to select the character. Instead the cursor jumps to the begin/end of the filename Rainer "Lars Gullik Bjønnes" schrieb: The second prerelease of 1.1.6 has been available for some days now, and this time it is also announced here and not just on the developers list. We'd like it a lot if people took the time to test this version, but let me come with a stern warning first: The LyX file format has changed, so you will have problems of going back to a earlier lyx release unless you BACKUP your files. You have been warned. We would especially like testing of: - the new tabular code - the new import/export code - the externalinset code Also general user views are appreciated. From NEWS: As with all of the 1.1.x versions of LyX, this release contains a lot of new code: in particular, half of the changes described in the ChangeLog (which dates back to the 1.1.0 release) describe changes in LyX 1.1.6! Besides the usual under-the-hood changes, LyX 1.1.6 has many new user-visible features. The main visible feature is that the GUI-independent branch of development has been merged, as well as code from the older development version: - many popups have been rewritten to use the new GUI-I scheme. In the process they have received a nice cleanup: the Document and Paragraph popups now contain in one single place what was previously scattered in many places. Similarly, the citation and cross reference popups have been overhauled. - LyX now has a Preference popup where you can change most of your lyxrc settings [Allan, details?] - the menus can now be defined in a text file, and they automatically display the keyboard bindings associated with commands. - it is now possible to provide your own icons for the toolbar. - last but not least, work has begun on a KDE and a Gnome frontend for LyX. They are not officially supported for this version, but this will give you an idea of what is happening. Other major changes in 1.1.6 include: - the table support has been completely rewritten. It is now a modular object (inset), each cell of which owns a (also) newly written text inset. This now permits automatic text-wrap inside a tabular cell (if you define a width), multiparagraph mode AND setting of layouts for the paragraphs (lists inside a tabular cell!). Last but not least, a wide tabular now scrolls automatically so that all of it is visible without the need to enlarge the window! While there are as yet no other new features, they will be now MUCH easier to add. It may be that because of being "young" code some features may not work right now, but at least it is much better than before. - new external material inset: this is a new kind of very powerful inset which will allow LyX to interface intelligently with external applications. Among other good things, it will finally allow you to include GIF, JPEG, TIF, PNG, or just about any other raster format images in your document. It will even do an approximate ascii rendering when you do Ascii export if you have gifscii installed. - The code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for viewing or exporting purposes) and from anything else to LyX has been rewritten. In particular, it is now possible to export to PDF, and to import from HTML/MSWord. In fact it's now possible to add new import/export formats without recompiling LyX by specifying external programs or scripts in lyxrc settings (note that the old import/export lyxrc settings no longer work). - LyX can do command line exports without opening any GUI components. - The multilingual support has been improved. It is now possible to use in a document languages with different encodings, e.g. German (iso8859-1) and Czech (iso8859-2). Such a document can be viewed on screen using an iso10646-1 (Unicode) font. However, it is (currently) not possible to have differently encoded languages in the same paragraph.

Re: Upgrade lyx1.0.4 - lyx1.1.5fix2 : ERRATUM
ERRATUM about 1.1.4 beeing OK : All errors that appeared in 1.1.5fix2 and caused the compilation to abort APPEAR ALSO WITH 1.1.4. I had not notice them since with 1.1.4, as Jean-Marc said, the errors were ignored and a document was produced (sometimes troncated). I agree with J.M. that it is better to stop the compilation when there are errors ... HOWEVER, all these LaTeX errors DO NOT APPEAR in the log file with LyX 1.0.4 ! Here is what I get : - tex capacity exceeded in a file with nothing special in it - missing number, treated as zero when using " (M-i ') - misplaced alignement tab caracter in a foiltex file Nicolas.

Something like reftex
Hi LyX-Users! Is there anything like reftex for LyX? Reftex with Emacs+AucTeX nearly automagically inserts labels for each section. It would be nice if each heading, table, figure etc. gets a label by default. Are there any plans? BTW: lyx-1.1.6pre2 looks very nice. I had no problems to install it on Debian 2.2 with kernel 2.0.36. The only drawback is that sometimes there is one mouse klick more necessary with the new menu-layout.

Re: Upgrade lyx1.0.4 - lyx1.1.5fix2 : ERRATUM
ERRATUM about 1.1.4 beeing OK : All errors that appeared in 1.1.5fix2 and caused the compilation to abort APPEAR ALSO WITH 1.1.4. I had not notice them since with 1.1.4, as Jean-Marc said, the errors were ignored and a document was produced (sometimes troncated). I agree with J.M. that it is better to stop the compilation when there are errors ... HOWEVER, all these LaTeX errors DO NOT APPEAR in the log file with LyX 1.0.4 ! Here is what I get : - tex capacity exceeded in a file with nothing special in it - missing number, treated as zero when using " (M-i ') - misplaced alignement tab caracter in a foiltex file Nicolas.

Something like reftex
Hi LyX-Users! Is there anything like reftex for LyX? Reftex with Emacs+AucTeX nearly automagically inserts labels for each section. It would be nice if each heading, table, figure etc. gets a label by default. Are there any plans? BTW: lyx-1.1.6pre2 looks very nice. I had no problems to install it on Debian 2.2 with kernel 2.0.36. The only drawback is that sometimes there is one mouse klick more necessary with the new menu-layout.

Re: announce lyx-1.1.6pre2; Look & Feel
1) When I click with the mouse on a menu, e. g. View then the View menu opens. Fine. Now if I move the mouse right to the Navigate menu while the mouse button is still pressed I would expect that the Naviage menu opens and the View menu closes. But that doesn't happen. Why? 2) In the File-Save As Dialog: When I set the cursor in the middle of the filename and press the "Entf"-Key (I think it's called "Del" on english keyboard layouts) the character on the left side of the cursor is deleted instead of the right side 3) Same Dialog as in 2): If I press shift and cursor left/right I would expect to select the character. Instead the cursor jumps to the begin/end of the filename Rainer "Lars Gullik Bjønnes" schrieb: > The second prerelease of 1.1.6 has been available for some days now, > and this time it is also announced here and not just on the developers > list. > > We'd like it a lot if people took the time to test this version, but > let me come with a stern warning first: The LyX file format has > changed, so you will have problems of going back to a earlier lyx > release unless you BACKUP your files.

Re: announce lyx-1.1.6pre2; Look & Feel (continued)
4) In the document, when I press shift and cursor left/right no text is selected. The cursor doesn't move at all. 5) Same is with shift+Pos1 and shift+End. 6) If I click on Insert->Math Panel... the Math Panel doesn't open if I'm in a math text in a table.So I have to open the Math Panel, click on the math text and then on the desired symbol in the math panel to insert it in the math text.
