1 This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.1.0, some
2 known problems in LyX 2.1.0 and some things you have to take into account
3 when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.1.x series.
9 There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
10 options have been added:
12 -export-to <format> <dest> (-E <format> <dest>)
14 Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened
15 to the specified destination file <dest> and format <format>.
16 For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run:
17 lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx
18 See the manual page for details.
19 This functionality is also available via a new menu voice
20 Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to
21 choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname.
22 Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch)
23 through a proper new LFUN (see below).
26 The following pref variables were changed in 2.0:
28 The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0:
30 The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
32 - LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS <format> <filename>
33 Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above).
35 //template, remove this entry later on
36 - LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync").
39 The following LyX functions have been removed:
41 //template, remove this entry later on
42 - LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
45 The following LyX functions have been changed:
47 //template, remove this entry later on
48 - LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used
49 to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
50 inset-settings for this purpose.
53 The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
55 //template, remove this entry later on
56 - LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
57 The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
60 New external programs and libraries:
61 ------------------------------------
63 LyX 2.0 introduces support for some new external helper programs/libraries,
64 while the support for some existing programs has been dropped. This
65 particularly applies to spell checking and the thesaurus.
68 Known issues in version 2.0.0
69 -----------------------------
71 - LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
72 where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
73 this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
