[新聞] LyX 1.5.4 released

http://www.lyx.org/announce/1_5_4.txt

改進的部份：

* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- New manual "LyX's detailed math manual" available in English, French,
and German. It includes the content of the example file "mathed.lyx",
which is no more shipped separately.
- New section "Floats Side by Side" in the EmbeddedObjects manual.
- New Spanish translation of the FAQ manual and the mathed example file.
- New Japanese splash LyX file.
- Updated French and Spanish Introduction manual.
- Updated German, French, and Spanish Tutorial manual.
- Updated German User's Guide manual.
- New Russian translation of the user interface.
- Updated Czech, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese
and Spanish translations of the user interface.
- New example files that demonstrate how to create serial letters with
the KOMA letter class.
* USER INTERFACE
- LyX gives more instructive information if a character cannot be encoded
properly. Most notably, the offending character is highlighted both in
the work area and in the "View Source" pane (bug 3511).
- Initial support for shift + right-mouse-click selection (bug 2304).
- The on-screen appearance of spaces has been improved.
- New shortcut "C-M-n" to create numbered formulas.
- Character counting added to "Count Words" function (bug 2819).
- The BibTeX dialog now has buttons to move databases up or down
the list.
- New toolbar button to create boxes.
- Keyboard shortcuts for TOC window buttons were introduced. For outlining
you can use "M-p Left/Right/Up/Down" keys. Note that depth-in/decrement 
LFUNs are still reachable via "M-S-Left/Right" shortcuts (bug 4456).
- Improve cursor movement around lines with ending line-breaks.
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- Use package wrapfig instead of floatflt for wrap figure floats. Note
that this might slightly change the output (cf. the file RELEASE-NOTES).
- Support to paste text containing ligatures to LyX.
* BUILD/INSTALLATION:
- The Windows version is compiled with MSVC 2008.
It is no longer necessary to install the Windows SDK and other patches,
these things are now also included in the Express edition.
- Viewers wrapper xdg-open was removed due to the problems on environments
without desktop managers. Waiting for upstream fixes.

LyX 使用中文，請參考：

〈 LyX 和 XeLaTeX 的配合〉

〈 LyX 和 LaTeX CJK 的配合〉

不過，LaTeX CJK 將會支援 XeLaTeX，等正式 release 新版本後再為文介紹。
 

由於目前 FreeBSD ports 把 lyx15 標為 BROKEN，所以 FreeBSD 的使用者需要自行編譯。編譯方法如下（不改裡頭的 autotools file 為原則）：

cd /tmp
tar yxvf lyx-1.5.4.tar.bz2
cd lyx-1.5.4
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig
./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt --with-included-boost --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local
find . -name 'Makefile' -exec perl -pi -e 's/-I\/usr\/local\/include -I\/usr\/local\/include\/QtCore/-I\/usr\/local\/include\/QtCore -I\/usr\/local\/include/g' {} \;
find . -name 'Makefile' -exec perl -pi -e 's/-I\/usr\/local\/include -I\/usr\/local\/include\/QtGui/-I\/usr\/local\/include\/QtGui -I\/usr\/local\/include/g' {} \;
gmake
gmake install

他會安裝至 $HOME/opt 目錄，請把 PATH 設好就可以用了。

當然，像 Qt4 等要先安裝好。
 

FreeBSD ports 中的 BROKEN 已修復。但我無法從 ports 中編譯成功。有需要的可以安裝 binary package。

portinstall -PP lyx-1.5.4

這個版本的確值得一試，許多以前無法顯示的數學符號，現在都可以正常顯示了。使用 xelatex 的朋友，可以自行設立一個獨立的 xelatex 項目： $HOME/.lyx/preferences

\format "pdf4" "pdf" "PDF (xelatex)" "" "kpdf" "" "document,vector"
\format "xelatex" "xelatex" "xelatex" "" "" "" "document"
\converter "latex" "pdf4" "xelatex $$i" "latex"

這樣 [File] => [Export]  會多出一個項目 [PDF(xelatex)]，選這個項目就可以直接使用 xelatex 來編譯。

LyX 1.5.6 已經釋出！
