TexMaths Changelog

What's new in TexMaths 0.41

Oct 1, 2014
  • This release adds a new macro that allows to recompile all equations in a document, while changing their parameters. An option to ignore the preamble was also added. This can be useful when converting LaTeX equations written with a foreign software to TexMaths.
  • Equation transparency can now be adjusted separately for each document type. Many bugs were also fixed and TexMaths works now as expected with LibreOffice 4.3.x.

New in TexMaths 0.39 (Mar 15, 2014)

  • This release fixes several major and minor bugs.
  • The image format, resolution and size are now retained when editing equations.

New in TexMaths 0.38 (Apr 24, 2013)

  • This release features a complete rewrite of the main macro. Now, equation images are inserted as native drawings instead of gdi images. This fixes the issue where equations pasted from Writer to Impress or Draw were not editable. As a side effect, the poor SVG rendering quality that was only visible in Impress and Draw (in LibreOffice 3.5.x and 3.6.x) is now also visible in Writer, but this problem is fixed in LibreOffice 4.0.x. The LaTeX preamble is now stored locally into the document properties, thus each document can have a different preamble. A german translation was also added.

New in TexMaths 0.36 (Sep 24, 2012)

  • Updated the help text
  • Fixed the incorrect help path string in the sysconfig dialog. Now we detect the system type and modify the string accordingly
  • Added a transparency option to be used with the png image format. This allows to work with transparent png equations, or to use an opaque color background. The internal graphic format used for transparent PNG images is now SVXB (Starview Bitmap/Animation, code 12) for Linux and Mac OS, and GDI (code 3) for Windows, because the bitmap format does not allow a transparent background
  • Added spanish translation (thanks to Luis Jaime Salazar Ramirez)
  • Restored the Word compatibility option for vertical alignment. Equations are now verticaly centered when Word compatibility is requested, otherwise they are aligned to base line. Numbered equations are always vertically centered
  • Force the equation type to "latex" when the latex code starts with \begin (thanks to Luis Jaime Salazar for this tip)
  • Fixed a run time error in the sysconfig dialog on Windows
  • Fixed window resizing that didn't work in Debian Linux 64 bits
  • When editing equations, keep the anchor mode of the image
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when editing equations within tables. Now equations can be edited within tables or frames
  • Fixed two bugs that prevented TexMaths to work properly when the programs latex, dvipng or dvisvgm are not located in the path. These bugs affected Mac OS X where these program are located in /usr/texbin which is not in the system path
