We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.3.  This is the third
maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.

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

You can download LyX 2.1.3 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

LyX 2.1.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage
all LyX users to upgrade to this version.

If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.3, open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org).

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.3.

   sciposter) (bug 8714).

- Add support for the sectionbox and tcolorbox packages (part of bug 8714).

- Add support for PDF annotations (via pdfcomment package) (bug 6975).


* TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS

- Support for bibliographies using the package bibtopic.

   nameref).

- Support for items in itemize environments that have an optional argument.

- Support for the math font of the Iwona and Kurier font families.

- Support for the Libertine fonts.

- Support for a relative length as paragraph separation.

- Support for relative lengths in horizontal and vertical spaces.

- Support for glue lengths in horizontal and vertical spaces.


* USER INTERFACE

- References no longer truncated in outliner (bug 9312).

- Allow computing selected subformulas with computer algebra systems.

- Number correctly footnotes in title layouts (part of bug 2666).

- Ctrl+A is now bound to inset-select-all, which does a local
   selection (current inset) and grows at each new invokation. Try it!

* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION

- New example file "PDF-comment.lyx" describing the support for PDF 
annotations.

- Updated Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Slovak and Swedish
   user interface localization.


** Bug fixes:
*************

* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT

- Fix crash on exporting a recursive math macro (bug 9140). Recursive macros
   are invalid, so typesetting will still fail with "TeX capacity exceeded".

- Fix baseline calculation in last paragraph (bug 9231).

- Fix export of xfig external insets (bug 9244).

- Fix incorrect output of ampersands when multiple keys are given for a
   citation (bug 9296).

- Output package options (specified with PackageOptions layout tag)
   before loading any potentially affected package (bug 9355).

- Fix export of documents that use the LaTeX-packages mhchem and wasysym
   (bug 9266).

- Remove unnecessary preamble code in LaTeX export of documents using the
   class REVTeX 4.1 file (bug 4625).

- Fix for improper environment with duplicate PATH variable entries.
   This happens on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) where launchd(8) passes
   such an environment to LyX when started from the dock (bug 9317).

- Protect insets when needed in subfloat captions (bug 9346).

- Do not swallow spaces in text-in-math mode (bug 7970).

- Do not insert a protected space after some math-spaces (bug 9319).

- Fix problem when some special characters appear in the document directory
   name on Windows (bug 9342).


* LYX2LYX

- Fix import of LyX 2.0 documents with complex beamer arguments (bug 9254).

- Fix import of LyX 2.0 IEEEtran documents (bug 9273).

- Fix import of Chunk layout with trailing empty paragraph (bug 9298).

- Fix import of chunk layouts containing newlines (bug 9300).

- Maintain paragraph settings (alignment etc.) when importing chunk layouts
   (bug 9320).

- Fix export to LyX 2.0 of chunk insets without optional argument (bug 
9343).

- Fix import of ERT beamer block titles which are preceeded by a
   language switch.

- Fix and simplify paragraph params parsing in get_containing_layout.


* USER INTERFACE

- Fix alignment rendering of multirow in LyX (bug 8976).

- Fix mapping of ISO_Left_Tab key, which was erroneously assigned to Tab
   (instead of BackTab).

- Disallow to insert program listings to footnotes and margin notes (bug 
9321).

- Fix computer algebra system computations in formulas with '=' signs.

- Fix rendering of \varOmega on OS X (bug 7954).

- Only allow 1 paragraph in footnotes when they are part of a title
   layout (bug 2666).

- When switching classes, warn user about all unapplied document changes
   (1. part of bug 9356).

- When adding a module, warn user about all unapplied document changes
   (2. part of bug 9356).

- Do not enable the Apply button in the document dialog just because a
   module was selected in the widget (without actual change) (bug 9365).

- Fix logic of "Maintain aspect ratio" checkbox in the graphics dialog
   (bug 9357).

- Fix most frequent reason for crash while editing with open view source
   window (bug 9336).

- Fix crash when pasting citation into math formula (bug 9302).


* INTERNALS

- Fix wrong test in LyX server.

- Fix possible memory corruption on copying to the clipboard.

- Fix possible memory corruption during LaTeX log file parsing.

- Make some math messages translatable (bug 1908).


* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
