Built OK on linux fedora fc6 (x86_64)!

1 minor problem so far.  Tried to set preferences (wanted to use kpdf
instead of acroread - wish that was the default!).  In the process of
changing this, my Sans Serif screen font got changed to 'A.C.M.E. Secret
Agent'.  Looked pretty silly.  For some reason, lyx decided to default to
that for sans serif.  Manually switching it back, everything is fine.

The cv.cls needed for LyX is different from the one that is shipped with the 
LaTeX-package "cv".

To solve the problem:
- copy the cv.cls you find in LyX's installation subfolder \Resources\tex somewhere to your LaTeX 
installation, e.g. to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.5\tex\latex or wherever MiKTeX is installed.

- open MiKTeX's Options (available in Windows' startmenu) and press there the button 
"refresh FNDB"
- reconfigure LyX (menu Tools -> Reconfigure)

When you install LyX using this installer:

This all is done automatically for you.

LyX version 1.5.0 (beta 1) is released

2007-02-23 Thread José Matos
Public release of LyX version 1.5.0 (beta 1)
===

We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.5.0 (beta 1).

It is the culmination of 1 year of hard work, and we sincerely hope
you will enjoy the results. The changes are too numerous to
summarize in a few words, with initial unicode support as the flagship
of new features. Jump directly to the end of this message if you want
to know the differences to the latest stable version (1.4.4).

As usual with major releases, a lot of work that is not directly
visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
some of the new features are the direct results of this work.

See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in that release.

In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:

   LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
   based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
   is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.

   LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
   right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
   details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page
   boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary
   TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.

   On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or
   richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
   nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
   looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
   different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating'
   your dissertation the evening before going to press.

   LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
   internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the
   Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. 

You can download LyX 1.5.0beta1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with
bzip2, which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/lyx-1.5.0beta1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/lyx-1.5.0beta1.tar.bz2

Note that due to the ammount of changes no patch is provided to upgrade
from version 1.4.4.

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/


If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.5.0beta1, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel @ lists.lyx.org), or open
a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there,
e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users @ lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!

The LyX team.


What's new in version 1.5.0 (beta 1)?


* Unicode

LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew
of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic
languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to
encodings current available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8
encoding or such brand new typesetting systems as XeTeX.
Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some
areas still need a cleanup it is very likely that some bugs related to
the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known
bugs in LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related
to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel
mailing list.

* Multiple views of the same buffer

LyX can now display multiple views of the same buffer. I.e., you can
now open a single document in multiple windows and work on different
parts of it synchronously.

* Outliner

LyX has another long-awaited feature: a basic outliner mode, in which
you can move chapters and sections around in the Table of Contents
dialog. (The outliner has been backported and was released with LyX
1.4.4.)

* Session managment

LyX is now able to remember window size and position and it will
reopen the documents you worked on last time around. If you've
selected the feature in the Preferences dialog, it'll even move the
cursor to the place you were working on last!  Furthermore, toolbars
can (finally!) be switched on/off in View->Toolbars and moved about in
the LyX window. The session managment will remember their state.

* Source code Viewer

As a kind of "anti-preview-latex", a dialog was implemented that lets
you view the source code of a given paragraph/selection or the whole
document.

* New Font Selection Interface

LyX's font selection abilities have been one of its weakest and most
outdated components. A completely new interface was implemented that
provides access to the power of LaTeX's font selection scheme.
 
* Tabular extensions

LyX's table support is certainly less powerful than that of
LaTeX. support for the bookt

I cannot reproduce that. However recent Q../Free versions (the UI

When i start LyX not only LyX opens, but also a DOS-Window, which stays there.
It says: Lyx: Disabling LyX socket.

Then i tried to open a document (my thesis with some images). The problem here
was the PDF-Export (via PDFLaTeX) which produces a runtime error in LyX.exe.

To fix your problem:
- open LyX and go to LyX's preferences -> Paths
- check that there in the field "PATH_Prefix" is a path to the folder where the file 
"python.exe" of
your Python installation lives. If necessary add it or modify the path that

Ok. It continued and finished compiling completely - so the Q: is if the
result is reliable or not. It seems to run fine when doing a short test.
Should I recompile?

Without originaldir, the conversion is made in the temporary dir where
the browser finds it. 
However, Export does not copy the files to the doc dir.

So if your reset the originaldir flag,  your files will be in
the doc dir all right.

So you have to choose berween Export and View

I did get by though with only removing the "originaldir"-flag.
When I removed the "needaux" flag, my references were forgotten.

I can do what I want now, but there are still there are a few
quirks remaining, which might probably be easily corrected:

 - View HTML works, Export to HTML does not. Instead of the pngs
   it only shows the -text
   Of course I can just view and save the content from firefox

A strong incentive to use special text in xfig and External
material inset IMHO. LyX eases a lot the combined export.
Many thanks to the developers for this.

xfig is however a bit limited to combine series, family and shape.

When you don't have a folder

Else MandatoryRelease records when the feature became part of the language;
in releases at or after that, modules no longer need

MandatoryRelease may also be None, meaning that a planned feature got

Instances of class _Feature have two corresponding methods,

CompilerFlag is the (bitfield) flag that should be passed in the fourth

language into Hebrew or any other language I want so it can't be a
problem with my Linux locale - it has to be something else.

Sincerely,

Ran Rutenberg

Dear Users,

I would like to change the language of lyx's interface from English to
Hebrew (I need to check a new he.po) in  LyX1.5 that I compiled.
However when I use the LANG or the LC_MESSAGES variable the only
result is a change in the language of the help files. I tried to
launch LyX in other languages beside Hebrew but it didn't work either.

I would like to mention that when I try the same thing with an
installed LyX 1.4 I can change LyX's language to German for example
but I can't change it to Hebrew.

Does anyone knows how to solve this?

Assuming you use linux - is your linux set up to support the hebrew locale?
My linux is set up for nrwegian and english only.  So those works, but
if I try
export LANG=de_DE ; lyx
then I get english menus and german help files.  This because
I haven't installed german locale support for my distro (debian),
and so "Locale de_DE could not be set".

Looks like it doesn't matter if lyx comes with support for some language,
if the distro (c-library?) itself does not allow that language to be set.

With debian, use
dpkg-reconfigure locales
Other distros have similiar ways of setting up language support.

I am currently running Gentoo Linux. I tried setting the language with
a complete locale name "he_IL.UTF-8" but it didn't work either (nor
did any other languages).

OK, I misread your message then. What OS are you using currently? Did
you try setting the language with a complete locale name, like
"he_IL.UTF-8"?

"he" exists in th LINGUAS file and nevertheless it still doesn't work.
As I mentioned I tried other languages as well (in order to check
maybe it is just something faulty with the he.po file) but none of
them work although they appear in the LINGUAS file and worked with the

Re: Export from LyX to HTML

Dear specialists,

I have not been able export from LyX to html. The error messages (see 
below)
on the LyX-console seem to suggest that htlatex cannot deal with paths 
containing

spaces.  Is this true, oand if so, there a way to circumvent this ?

Thanks,
H.Peter


Hello Peter,

Before you do anything else, try this. Go Tools -> Preferences -> 
Converters, them click on 'LaTeX (plain) -> HTML'. Then delete 
'originaldir,needaux' from the Extra Flag box. Then try View HTML or 
Export HTML.


This has always worked for me, but I think it leaves a number of 
temporary files behind that have to be cleaned-up by hand. Let me know 
how you get on.


Regards,
Nick.

Thanks, Georg - excellent suggestion!

I never thought about the possibility to have more than one layout file
for a specific latex document class. Obviously this makes a lot of sense.
