User Manual:KLatexFormula 3.2 Release Note

From KLFWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

After a long period without any new release, KLatexFormula finally reappears with version 3.2.0, with about three times as many lines of code, many new features, a new robust build system, and better integration into some other applications.

Download from the Downloads Page. Downloading and Installing instructions can be found in the User Manual at User Manual:Downloading & Installing.


MAIN NEW FEATURES

  • Now a bigger preview can be opened on request after evaluating a formula (Shortcut: F2 key)
  • A new export mime-type profiles system allows you to specify precisely which formats you would like to export when using copy/paste and drag/drop. The formats are organized in profiles which you can select in a menu below the DRAG/COPY buttons.
  • It is now possible to re-open saved PNG images (try dragging them onto the editor).
  • LaTeX' Computer Modern Sans Serif font is used as the default application font. Don't like it? Don't worry, you can easily choose your preferred application font.
  • The code editor now automatically detects missing LaTeX packages when you type in a symbol for which you have not included the corresponding package in the preamble.
  • KLatexFormula now by default instructs ghostscript to outline fonts in EPS/PDF files. This fixes exports to eg. Adobe Illustrator.
  • The internals of the library were completely redesigned for greater flexibility. Read more on this subject on the page User Manual:The new library concept (KLF version 3.2).
  • A small plugin for KDE 4 's KTextEditor/KatePart was written to integrate KLatexFormula into any application that uses KTextEditor (eg. Kate, Kile).
  • The KLFTools library now groups some general utilities used within KLatexFormula that could also profit to other applications (see Devel Manual:KLFTools Library).
  • On windows, installers with pre-bundled latex distributions (minimal and full) are now available.
