-Apart from these better support for sub/superscript has been added and
-externally launched documents are now possible to load in an already
-running LyX instance. Next changes has been done in context menu handling.
+As far as new features is considered it is now possible to set the
+table width, customize the language package per document and
+export LyX files as a single archive containing linked material
+(e.g. images) directly via export menu.
+
+Since this is most probably the last beta release we also added
+convertor for old (1.6) preference files which are automatically
+checked on the startup now.
