1 This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.0.0, some
2 known problems in LyX 2.0.0 and some things you have to take into account
3 when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.0.x series.
4 Note that fixes are available for some of these, but they have not yet
5 been applied because of incomplete testing.
11 There have been some changes to the LyX command line. There is a new option
12 "--batch" that causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI
13 window. Thus, something like:
14 lyx --batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx
15 will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and

95 inset-forall Note:<SOURCE> inset-modify note Note <TARGET>
97 The following LyX functions have been changed:
99 - LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used
100 to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
101 inset-settings for this purpose.
103 - LFUN_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings
104 arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word
105 at current cursor position, even if it is not selected.
