This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.0.0, some known problems in LyX 2.0.0 and some things you have to take into account when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.0.x series. Note that fixes are available for some of these, but they have not yet been applied because of incomplete testing. Interface changes ----------------- There have been some changes to the LyX command line. There is a new option "--batch" that causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI window. Thus, something like: lyx --batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and the default print settings (which, of course, have to have been configured already). At present, not many commands can be used this way, but there will be more eventually. The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0 - \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore) - \spell_command, \use_input_encoding and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been removed) - \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format The following new LyX functions have been introduced: - LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv"). - LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode"). - LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert"). - LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin"). - LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end""). - LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select"). - LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select"). - LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous"). - LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference"). - LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select"). - LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline"). - LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout"). - LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline"). - LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave"). The following LyX functions have been removed: - LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead. The following LyX functions have been changed: - LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use inset-settings for this purpose. Known issues in version 2.0.0 ----------------------------- Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x ------------------------------------------------------- Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes TODO ---- - Somebody should create a rc2rc script... http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/27531 - some summary about 3rd party programs additions/removals should be written for packagers (eg aiksauraus, libtool).
