New features include:
* A new function buffer-toggle-compression (and corresponding entry
in the Document menu) has been added to change whether the file
will be compressed on disk or not.
* A "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format has been added. This new
output format produces .tex files that are suitable for pdflatex,
including figure conversion to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.

MESSAGE updated for new user interface.
gtar not needed to extract.
(Note that the xforms version was not tested.)
huge. Please see the announcements at http://www.lyx.org/announce/1_4_0.txt
and http://www.lyx.org/announce/1_4_1.txt
This adds a different interface, change tracking, character styles
new tex2lyx (instead of reLyX) and a lot more.
Pkgsrc changes include:
DESCR -- remove the word "New" since it is not new.
Improve COMMENT.
makepsres tool not used anymore.
New python scripts.
Remove post-install target for texmf files as now done via normal install.
patch-ah removed -- already integrated.
patch-ai removed -- reLyX was removed.
patch-aj removed -- Makefile changed (maybe this is needed to stop rebuild
between build and install steps -- need to check this.)
patch-ac added for sys./time.h needed; already in lyx development version.
(I did this update last week and tested on Linux, NetBSD and DragonFly
and havce been using on NetBSD.)
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
Verified that this works without qt3-tools so remove that comment
and BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD for that. (Now defaults to build only.)
Add another download mirror.
Use bzipped tar file.
Update PLIST to add "hu" locale file, compiled python code,
and other updates. And use PKG_LOCALTEXMFPREFIX instead of PKG_TEXMFPREFIX
for the dirrm.
Removed three patches related to DragonFly and other patch for a bug
fix as all are now fixed in official release.
Updated patch-ab. The official release removed the unlock() so
still coredumps on NetBSD without this patch.
And regenerated two other patches as lines didn't line up anymore.
And remove PKGREVISION from Makefiles. (Note I did not test "xforms"
version.)
Changes include:
** Updates
- Update lyx2lyx to handle properly the latest LyX 1.4 format (245).
- New hungarian translation. Update Spanish translation.
- Update German documentation.
** Bug fixes
* Document input/output:
- Don't load the wasysym package automatically anymore (bug 1942)
- Fix crash with S-Home while entering a macro name (bug 2046)
- Do not delete selection when entering an index entry.
- Fix LaTeX output when a bibtex inset is used in a child document.
- Support tex4ht for Tex -> MS Word conversion
- Support the previewers kdvi, kpdf, and kghostview
* User Interface:
- Fix wrong path when drag-and-dropping files on Windows. [Qt only]
- Fix interaction of LyX with external clipboard (e.g. Klipper) (bug 1976).
- Ensure that no dialogs have one shortcut assigned to more than one action.
Always connect the OK button to the Alt-O shortcut. [Qt only]
- Ensure that the user cannot create a reference without first selecting
one in the reference dialog. [Qt only].
- The Return key is no longer bound to the Goto button in the reference
dialog. [Qt only].
- Double clicking in the reference dialog now inserts a reference
(bug 2187) [Qt only].
- Searching backwards in the citation dialog always skipped one result
(bug 2002). Fixed now.
- Do not trim spaces from either end of the find and replace strings in
the Edit->Find & Replace... dialog. [XForms only].
- Fix crash when trying to display current directory and ${HOME} is empty.
- Don't force alignment to BLOCK when switching to fixed width cell (bug
1840).
- Add key bindings for "primary-selection-paste".
- Fix some math key sequences for sciword.bind.
- On exit, don't attempt to unlock a mutex in the Qt library --- it
causes undefined behaviour and leads to a crash on NetBSD.
- Enable Instant Preview to work if the path to the external GhostScript
executable contains spaces. (bug 2193).
- The error/warning/confirmation dialogs aren't hidden behind the main
window anymore [Qt only] (bug 1977).
* Configuration/Installation:
- Enable TeXFiles.sh to run when its path contains spaces.
- Compile without STL compatibility support, since some systems do that
by default (Slackware, for ex.). [Qt only]
- Fix compilation with gcc 2.95 under OSX 10.4. This is useful because
LyX crashes on startup when compiled with gcc3.
- Fix compilation with Solaris/x86 (bug 992).
- Enable compilation of LyX on DragonFly BSD.
- Add missing cygwin support file in the distribution (bug 2035).
- Enable Windows boxes to recognize the hard-coded paths needed to run
LyX from the build tree.
the tex files to ${PKG_TEXMFPREFIX}/tex/latex/lyx/.
This makes it so the latex recognizes these available classes/styles.
I noticed that previously cv (curriculum vitae) was not recognized,
but now it is available.
Bumped PKGREVISION.
changes: bugfixes, in particular:
* It is now possible to typeset files which reside in a directory with
spaces in its name; this requires a modern TeX implementation (such
as teTeX 3.0).
* It is possible to use Ctrl-PageDown and Control-PageUp (<opt>-tab and
<opt><shift>-tab with LyX/Mac) to switch between the open documents.
* LaTeX-type accents, ligature breaks and hyphenation marks are now
considered as part of words
This is mainly a bugfix release, with few notable user-visible
improvements. However, we would like to highlight two fixes in particular:
* Nested documents (with Insert>Include File...), which have been
broken since LyX 1.2.0, should now work properly, including the
case where the files are in different directories.
* It is now possible to compile LyX with gcc 3.4.
* It adds support for old files from LyX 0.10.x or 0.12.x;
* Lyx documents can now be opened and edited even if
they use text classes not present in your latex installation;
* New Qt features have been added (improved selection,
drag-and-drop);
* Mac OS X support is much improved;
* The interface and documentation localization have
been polished.
Remove dependency on ispell since it can be installed at any time later.
Adapted changes to CXXFLAGS from LyX's configure script and downgrade
optimizations only for archs where gcc is known to produce broken code
for >= -02.

* several languages now benefit from an improved translation of the user
interface
LyX is a wordprocessor frontend to LaTeX, which gives both the
ease-of-use of a wordprocessor, and the flexibility and power of
LaTeX.
Quasi-WYSIWYG interface, many LaTeX styles and layouts automatically
generated. Speeds up learning LaTeX and makes complicated layouts
easy and intuitive. New features include spell-checking, international
character support, WYSIWYG graphics, tables, and equations.
