+- The code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for
+ viewing or exporting purposes) and from anything else to LyX has been
+ rewritten. In particular, it is now possible to export to PDF, and to
+ import from HTML/MSWord. In fact it's now possible to add new import/export
+ formats without recompiling LyX by specifying external programs or scripts
+ in lyxrc settings
+ (note that the old import/export lyxrc settings no longer work).
+
+- LyX can do command line exports without opening any GUI components.
+
+- The multilingual support has been improved. It is now possible to use in a
+ document languages with different encodings, e.g. German (iso8859-1) and
+ Czech (iso8859-2). Such a document can be viewed on screen using an
+ iso10646-1 (Unicode) font. However, it is (currently) not possible to
+ have differently encoded languages in the same paragraph.
+ The languages and the encodings are defined in text files.
