fix leftovers
2007-10-11 Bo Peng

2007-10-09 Uwe Stöhr
* Format incremented to 292: Support for Japanese without

* Format incremented to 290: Add table wrap floats
2007-10-03 Martin Vermeer

2007-09-25 Richard Heck
* Format incremented to 288: Change how command insets are
represented in LyX files.
2007-09-24 Uwe Stöhr
* Format incremented to 287: Add missing optional parameters
for wrapped figures.
2007-09-21 Pavel Sanda
* Format incremented to 286: LyX now supports hyperref and some
of its options.
2007-09-11 Bo Peng
* Format incremented to 285: Tweaks to embedded file format
Remove inzip parameter from graphics insets.
2007-09-09 Helge Hafting
* Format incremented to 284: LyX now implements wrapped figures
using wrapfig.sty instead of floatflt.sty. The latter
is rather buggy, the former also has more options.
No conversion as the .lyx doesn't change.
The .tex export is slightly different, necessitating the
format increase.
2007-09-08 Martin Vermeer
* format incremented to 283: CharStyle insets are now
called Flex.
2007-08-31 Bo Peng
* format incremented to 282: lyx files can be zipfiles with
embedded documents.
2007-08-29 Richard Heck
* format incremented to 281: allow modules for layout files
2007-08-17 Martin Vermeer
* format incremented to 280: the show_label parameter
is depreciated in favour of (Collapsable) status.
2007-08-17 Martin Vermeer
* format incremented to 279: CharStyle names are now
expected to be of form CharStyle:Name.
2007-08-12 José Matos
* format incremented to 278: Close begin_deeper with a
corresponding end_deeper (the only case where it matters is
at the end of the body).
2007-08-12 José Matos
* format incremented to 277: lyx is able to create invalid
table where a multicolumn does not have a first cell
(required by the table file format)
2007-07-20 Dov Feldstern
* format *not* incremented; fixed format 249 conversion, so that it now
correctly deals with encodings in footnotes (part of bug 3613)
2007-06-26 Uwe Stöhr and Dov Feldstern
* format incremented to 276: switching exsting language 'arabic' to
'arabic_arabtex'; this is to differentiate from the new arabic support
using the arabi package.
2007-05-04 Jürgen Spitzmüller
* format incremented to 275: add graphics params scaleBeforeRotation
(fix bug 1749).
2007-06-13 Dov Feldstern
* format incremented to 274: applying the conversion done in format 259
to the \lang property, which was forgotten back then... This is
slightly more complicated, because the default language has to be
determined on a per-paragraph basis.
2007-06-13 Bo Peng
* format incremented to 273: add --Separator-- environment to
separate consecutive environments
2007-06-13 Bo Peng
* format incremented to 272: convert listings to ERT because
earlier versions of lyx can not handle unrecognizable
listings parameters.
2007-05-15 José Matos
* format incremented to 271: extended textclasses accept the
normal font sizes: 10, 11 and 12pt.
2007-05-14 Martin Vermeer
* format incremented to 270: support beamer \alert, \structure
2007-05-08 Bo Peng
* format incremented to 269: add listings support
- add preamble flag \listings_params, e.g. \listings_params "language=Python,float"
- add inset listings, with options lstparams and inline, e.g.
\begin_inset listings
lstparams "xleftmargin=50pt,language=Python"
inline false
- add \lstinputlisting Include type. e.g.
\begin_inset Include \lstinputlisting{newfile1.lyx}[firstline=10,lastline=15]
2007-05-06 Uwe Stöhr
* format incremented to 268: add support for the CJK encodings
- all encodings supported by CJK.sty are now in lib/encodings
- lib/encoding has got two new flags:
- encoding package:
"inputenc" for those languages that use the inputenc-package and
"CJK" for the CJK encodings
- "fixed"/"variable" to divide between multi- or single-byte encoding
- lib/languages allows now to set an empty language for babel
in this case babel isn't called.
2007-05-04 Jürgen Spitzmüller
* format incremented to 267: add plain utf8 encoding (for XeTeX).
2007-04-29 Uwe Stöhr
* format incremented to 266:
Support for the Armenian language
2007-04-26 Uwe Stöhr
* format incremented to 265: fix LyX's table border line handling
With the fix (see bug 1746) LyX now takes care if the user has entered
a "|" character in the argument field of tables. Therefore the "|"
character has to be removed when also a table border is set.
2007-04-24 José Matos
* format incremented to 264:
textclass cv is renamed simplecv
2007-02-22 José Matos
* format incremented to 263: changes in the language names (overdue):
brazil -> brazilian
portuges -> portuguese
2007-02-16 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 262: Allow ascii \inputencoding
2007-02-14 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 261: \output_changes is now considered
even if \tracking_changes is false. This allows to output existing
changes even if future changes are not tracked anymore.
The old combination
\tracking_changes false
\output_changes true
is therefore converted to
\tracking_changes false
\output_changes false
on upgrade. Nothing is done on downgrade since the new behaviour is
not supported in older formats.
2007-02-13 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 260: Allow utf8x \inputencoding
2007-02-12 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 259:
Old: Spaces at start or end of font changes were output outside of
the font change, i.e. not 'xx\textbf{ yy }zz', but
'xx \textbf{yy} zz'.
New: Spaces are always output with the font set by the user.
2007-01-31 Uwe Stöhr
* format incremented to 258: new \lyxline definition
Old:
\\newcommand{\\lyxline}[1]{
{#1 \\vspace{1ex} \\hrule width \\columnwidth \\vspace{1ex}}
}
New:
\\newcommand{\\lyxline}[1][1pt]{%
\\par\\noindent%
\\rule[.5ex]{\\linewidth}{#1}\\par}
The new definition is more robust, see bug 1988 and now really takes care about
the fontsize: \lyxline{\Huge} produces now a thicker line than \lyxline{\normalfont}
2007-01-29 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 257: Caption styles have been replaced by
InsetCaption. This is at the same time also a layout file format
change to format 3. layout2layout removes caption layouts from old
styles.
Note that InsetCaption did exist before this format, but was never
used. Old files containing do nevertheless still work.
Of course users can still define a Caption style in layout files,
but the special treatment in LyX is gone (apart from the sensitive
label property).
2006-12-22 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 256: allow some new inputenc settings.
For the complete list, see lib/lyx2lyx/lyx_1_5.py.
2006-11-25 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 255: new insets for \clearpage and
\cleardoublepage. They are written inline to the file, exactly like
\newpage.
2006-11-13 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 254: new header parameter \use_esint.
It can have the same values as \use_amsmath: 0 (off), 1 (auto) and
2 (on).
2006-10-18 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 253: new nomenclature and printnomenclature
insets. These are standard InsetCommand with the following parameters:
\nomenclature[prefix]{symbol}{description}
\printnomenclature[labelwidth]
2006-10-15 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 252: changed command inset syntax
Old:
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cmdname[opt1][opt2]{arg}
preview true
\end_inset
and
\bibitem [opt1]{arg}
New:
\begin_inset LatexCommand cmdname
name1 "opt1"
name2 "opt2"
name3 "arg"
preview true
\end_inset
The order of the parameters and for each parameter the name and
optional/required bit is now stored in InsetCommandParams.
2006-10-03 Jürgen Spitzmüller
* format incremented to 251: save show_label param for charstyles.
On revert, the show_label param is just removed. Nothing to convert.
2006-10-12 Martin Vermeer
* Format incremented to 250: allow optional arg to environments
No material format change. Now optargs for environments are allowed
to be specified in layout files and will be handled properly. When
converted back to older formats, they will be ignored in LaTeX
output.
2006-08-14 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 249: Unicode
LyX documents are now always encoded in utf8. The value of
\inputencoding does now only determine the encoding of the created
LaTeX file.
Up to format 248 the value of \inputencoding did also determine the
encoding of the LyX file:
\inputencoding LyX file encoding
auto as determined by the document and character
languages
default ditto
everything else as determined by \inputencoding
The difference between auto and default is only the LaTeX output:
auto causes loading of the inputenc package, default does not.
2006-07-03 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 248: Basic booktabs support
The tag has a new switch: booktabs="true|false".
An absent switch is equivalent to booktabs="false".
Horizontal lines are set with the booktabs package if this switch
is on.
The tag of tabulars has the following new attributes:
topspace, bottomspace and interlinespace. All take a LyXLength
as value, or the special keyword "default".
2006-06-10 Jürgen Spitzmüller
* format incremented to 247. The Grand Font Interface Rewrite.
(1) Split font selection to rm, sf, tt:
\fontscheme -> \font_roman, \font_sans, \font_typewriter
Change 246->247:
\fontscheme \font_roman \font_sans \font_typewriter
default default default default
ae ae default default
times times default default
palatino palatino default default
helvet default helvet default
avant default avant default
newcent newcent default default
bookman bookman default default
pslatex times (or \usepackage{pslatex})
New 246->247:
\font_roman: cmr (-> \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmr}),
lmodern, charter, utopia, ccfonts, chancery, beraserif
(-> \usepackage{})
\font_sans: cmss, lmss, cmbr
(-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{})
berasans (-> \usepackage{})
\font_typewriter: cmtt, lmtt, cmtl,
(-> \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{})
courier, luximono, beramono
(-> \usepackage{})
(2) New param \font_default_family (rmdefault, sfdefault, ttdefault)
(3) New param \font_sc (true, false).
(4) New param \font_osf (true, false).
(5) New param \font_sf_scale (float)
(6) New param \font_tt_scale (float)
Support for the following fonts has been added:
bera, ccfonts, chancery, charter, cmbright, computer modern (explicitely),
courier, lmodern, luximono, utopia.
Support for the following font has been removed:
pslatex (it's superseded by mathptmx (times)).
2006-06-03 Martin Vermeer
* format incremented to 246. The framed.sty package is
now supported with note types framed and shaded.
2005-10-12 Jürgen Spitzmüller
* format incremented to 245. The \quotes_times parameter
has been removed.
2005-09-24 Jürgen Spitzmüller
* format incremented to 244. Rename '\InsetSpace \,'
to '\InsetSpace \thinspace{}', because the comma was
not parsed by lyxlex, and '\InsetSpace \space' to
'\InsetSpace \space{}' in favour of consistency.
2005-07-18 José Matos
* format incremented to 243.
* this change only affects the preamble, the paperpackage
option was removed and papersize is changed to default.
2005-06-21 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes
* format incremented to 242. There is no file format per
se, but the "frenchb" language has been removed from lib/language
and has to be translated to "french" by lyx2lyx.
2005-02-03 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 241.
All following changes apply only to text in ERT insets. The
rationale is that text in ERT is simply ASCII text, and nothing more.
* paragraph breaks are now a single newline in latex and not a
paragraph break anymore (bug 698).
* \newline is not allowed anymore, because it is redundant (see above)
* layouts other than Standard, paragraph parameters and font changes
are not allowed anymore. They never made sense and were ignored for
latex output, but now they can't be read or set anymore (bug 922).
2005-01-23 Jürgen Spitzmüller
* format incremented to 240.
* new bufferparam:
\output_changes true
(should the change tracking marks be visible in the output or not?)
* lyx2lyx should just delete the param in 239.
2005-01-06 José Matos
* format incremented to 239.
* the paragraph parameters are displayed in their own line. This
change is consistent with the insets behaviour, and corresponds
to a more uniform treatment of the paragraphs since some of them
had already their own line.
An example of a single paragraph follows:
\begin_layout Standard
\paragraph_spacing single
\align left
Paragraph text.
\end_layout
2004-12-03 José Matos
* format incremented to 238.
* The compatibility code to read old latex accents from 0.12.x in
InsetLatexAccent::checkContents has been removed.
The following translations are done:
"\i \x" -> "\i \x{}"
"\i \xy" -> "\i \x{y}"
"\i \x y" -> "\i \x{y}"
"\i \x\i" -> "\i \x{\i}"
"\i \x\j" -> "\i \x{\j}"
x is a latex accent command, y the base character. \, i and j are
literal.
lyx did these changes already from 0.12.x -> 215, but not lyx2lyx,
so formats 215 - 237 can have both versions.
2004-10-10 José Matos
* format incremented to 237.
* In the header, the following statments use now booleans values,
instead of 0, 1:
- \use_geometry
- \use_bibtopic
- \tracking_changes
2004-08-15 José Matos
* format incremented to 236.
* Added tags:
- \begin_document
- \begin_header
- \begin_body
- \end_body
* The options for \papersize are changed:
Default -> default
Custom -> custom
* All whitespaces are removed at the end of lines, when
not necessary. As an example we have all the lines in the header that
do not belong to the preamble.
2004-07-01 Georg Baum
* format incremented to 235.
* \paperpackage had an off-by-one error. Translation table:
234: a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
235: none a4 a4wide widemarginsa4
The "widemarginsa4" setting of 235 has no equivalent in 234.
2004-05-12 Angus Leeming
* format incremented to 234.
* the citation engine is specified explicitly rather than being
deduced from 3 bools.
\use_natbib 1
\use_numerical_citations 0 -> \cite_engine |
