Version 1.4.4 of LyX

Changes: This release comes with many fixes and improvements. A number of newly reported crashes were fixed. New layouts and modules were included. Some long-standing requests were implemented. A working LyX server was added on the Windows OS. This finally enables communication with other applications such as JabRef on this platform.

Changes: This release covers, among many minor improvements, fixes to some rather severe issues. All users and distributors are urged to upgrade to this version.

Changes: Major features were added when compared with the latest stable version (1.4.4). Unicode is supported. Multiple views of the same buffer can be shown. An outliner, session management, a source code viewer, a new font selection interface, tabular extensions, glossaries, a tabbed widget, a Qt4 backend, and a converter file cache were implemented. Change tracking was enhanced.

Changes: This is a bugfix release, but some new features were also added. Outline support was added, making it possible to move around parts of documents in the Table of Contents dialog. New UI settings default-autotoolbars and default-alltoolbars were added, allowing the user to select which toolbars are active or shown automatically. The documentation was improved. Speed was improved, especially on Windows.

Changes: The huge memory consumption and corresponding sluggishness with documents containing many graphics or "instant preview" snippets was fixed. A slow screen update with nested insets, particularly with LyX/Mac, was fixed. The delay when exiting from a math inset was fixed. The change tracking code may now also track paragraph breaks.
