+To set the default language and paper size for new documents, use the
+"Save As Document Defaults" button in Document > Settings.
+
+The format pdf aka "PDF (ps2pdf)" was split in two formats: pdf aka
+"PDF (ps2pdf)" and pdf6 aka "PDF (graphics)". pdf6 is used for PDF files
+included as graphics. Custom external templates and converters might need
+to be adjusted. The format split was needed since otherwise an odt->pdf
+converter which is intended for included graphics only did interfere with
+document export via ps2pdf.
+
+The support for ArmTeX (a special typesetting engine for Armenian) was removed.
+Writing text in Armenian is now possible in a native way using XeTeX.
+
+The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
+
+- LFUN_BRANCH_MASTER_ACTIVATE <branch>:
+ LFUN_BRANCH_MASTER_DEACTIVATE <branch>:
+ Activates or deactivates a branch in a master document from within
+ a child (as opposed to the existing LFUN_BRANCH_[DE]ACTIVATE, which
+ toggle the branch in the document itself).
+
+- LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS <format> <filename>
+ Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above).
+
+- LFUN_CLIPBOARD_PASTE_SIMPLE ("clipboard-paste-simple")
+ Paste the clipboard contents as simple unformatted text.
+ This is also available through a new menu voice within the
+ [Edit]->[Paste Special...] sub-menu.
+
+- LFUN_VIEW_CLOSE
+ Close the current document view only, if there are no more views
+ on the document, either close or hide it (see the new preference
+ option \\close_buffer_with_last_view)
+
+The following LyX functions have been removed:
+
+//template, remove this entry later on
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been changed:
+
+//template, remove this entry later on
+- 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.
+
+- LFUN_CLOSE_TAB_GROUP_CLOSE ("close-tab-group") was renamed to
+ LFUN_TAB_GROUP_CLOSE ("tab-group-close").
+
+- LFUN_SPIT_VIEW ("split-view") was renamed to
+ LFUN_VIEW_SPLIT ("view-split").
+
+- LFUN_BREAK_PARAGRAPH ("break-paragraph") was renamed to
+ LFUN_PARAGRAPH_BREAK ("paragraph-break").
+
+The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
+
+//template, remove this entry later on
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
+ The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
+
+- The binding "C-w" was moved from "buffer-close" to "view-close"
+ (only in cua.bind).
+
+
+Linux desktop file specification and scalable icon has been included
+into the tarball.
+
+
+New external programs and libraries:
+------------------------------------
+
+- LyX links now against libmagic (http://www.darwinsys.com/file/) if it is
+ available at compile time. This improves the file format detection of
+ included graphics and other files. The old builtin format detection code
+ is used if libmagic is not available.
+
+
+Known issues in version 2.1.0
+-----------------------------
+
+- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
+ where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
+ this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
+ be enough.
+
+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.1.x
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to improve reported scrolling slowness, we changed the way screen
+painting is done. This, however, can slow down the performance on remote
+X connections and we provide RC_USE_QIMAGE variable, which brings back
+the old way of painting (when set to false).
