4 All comments are welcome.
6 I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
7 a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
8 these fixes have been checked into the BRANCH_1_6_X branch, which you
9 can get with the command
10 svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X lyx-1.6.x

15 order of importance. This is, of course, subjective...]

93 all its ancillary files (graphics and so on) to development/tools.
95 - Take advantage of some bugfixes in Qt 4.5 for internal file handling.
97 - Added some cygwin-specific scripts and utility programs that are

140 - Make Tools>Statistics ignore Note insets and inactive branches
143 - Take into account file system case sensitivity when checking whether
144 a path starts with a given prefix. This fixes a bug with reverse PDF
