 Interface changes
 -----------------
 
 Interface changes
 -----------------
 

-Some of the LyX functions have changed names:
+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.

 
 

-- A new LFUN_SPECIALCHAR_INSERT has been implemented that obsoletes the
-  different LFUNs for single special characters:
+Bash completion script was added to the tarball.

-  * LFUN_PAGEBREAK_INSERT: removed. "pagebreak-insert" has been replaced by

+  variable is empty)

-    "newpage-insert clearpage"
+- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format

+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.

 
 

-- LFUN_FINISHED_BACKWARD, "".
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY ("next-inset-modify"): use "inset-modify" instead.

 
 

-- LFUN_INFO_INSERT, "info-insert".
+- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead.

 
 

-- LFUN_LAYOUT_RELOAD, "layout-reload".
+- LFUN_NOTES_MUTATE ("notes-mutate"): replace
+    notes-mutate <SOURCE> <TARGET>
+  with the more general function inset-forall
+    inset-forall Note:<SOURCE> inset-modify note Note <TARGET>

 
 

-- LFUN_LAYOUT_MODULES_CLEAR, "layout-modules-clear".
+- LFUN_ALL_INSETS_TOGGLE ("all-insets-toggle"): replace
+    all-insets-toggle <ACTION> <TARGET>
+    all-insets-toggle <ACTION>
+  with the more generic function inset-forall
+    inset-forall <TARGET> inset-toggle <ACTION>
+    inset-forall * inset-toggle <ACTION>
+  There is a difference in the <TARGET> parameter, which is would be
+  like "note" in the first case and "Note" in the second.

 
 

-- LFUN_LAYOUT_MODULE_ADD, "layout-module-add".
+- LFUN_TABULAR_FEATURE ("tabular-feature"): use "inset-modify" instead.

+    inset-modify tabular FEATURE <ARGS>

 
 

-- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY, "next-inset-modify"
+- LFUN_LINE_INSERT ("line-insert"): use "inset-insert line" instead. For
+  something close to the previous default, use:
+    inset-insert line rule height 0.25ex width 100col% \\end_inset
+  This is necessary because the line inset now takes various arguments.

 
 

-- LFUN_INSET_EDIT, "inset-edit"
+- LFUN_TOC_INSERT ("toc-insert"): use "inset-insert toc" instead.

 
 

-- LFUN_SET_GRAPHICS_GROUP, "set-graphics-group"

 
 

-- LFUN_GRAPHICS_GROUPS_UNIFY, "graphics-groups-unify"
+The following LyX functions have been changed:

 
 

-- LFUN_BRANCH_ACTIVATE, "branch-activate"
+- 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_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings
+  arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word
+  at current cursor position, even if it is not selected.

 
 

-- LFUN_BRANCH_DEACTIVATE, "branch-deactivate" 
-  These can be used in export mode to turn branches on and off. 
-  Thus, something like:
-    lyx -e pdf2 -x "branch-activate answers" finalexam.lyx
-  could be used to export a pdf with the answers branch included, without 
-  one's having to open LyX and activate the branch manually.
+- LFUN_OPTIONAL_INSERT ("optional-insert") has been renamed LFUN_ARGUMENT_INSERT
+  ("argument-insert").

 
 

-The following new LyX functions have been removed:

 
 

-- LFUN_FILE_NEW.
+The following LyX key bindings have been changed:

 
 

-- LFUN_BREAK_PARAGRAPH_KEEP_LAYOUT.
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
+  The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".

 
 

-- LFUN_FONT_CODE.
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_UNFOLD ("math-macro-unfold")
+  The binding to "C-plus" has changed to "C-S-asterisk".

 
 

-- LFUN_HFILL_INSERT. HFills are now part of InsetSpace and have to be inserted
-  via "space-insert hfill".

 
 

-- LFUN_CLEARPAGE_INSERT. Now part of LFUN_NEWPAGE_INSERT (see above).
+New external programs and libaries:
+-----------------------------------

 
 

-- LFUN_CLEARDOUBLEPAGE_INSERT. Now part of LFUN_NEWPAGE_INSERT (see above).
+LyX 2.0 introduces support for some new external helper programs/libraries,
+while the support for some existing programs has been dropped. This
+particularly applies to spell checking and the thesaurus.

 
 

-- LFUN_SERVER_GET_FONT.
+1.) SPELLCHECKING:

 
 

-- LFUN_EXTERNAL_EDIT. Superseded by the more general LFUN_INSET_EDIT.
+* Direct support for ispell and hspell has been dropped. However, ispell
+  and hspell are still accessible via the enchant wrapper (see below).

 
 

-- LFUN_GRAPHICS_EDIT. Superseded by the more general LFUN_INSET_EDIT.
+* Support for the aspell command line program has been dropped. Note that
+  the aspell library (aspell 0.60.x) is still supported.
+  
+* Next to aspell (library), LyX now also supports hunspell (the spell
+  checker used by OpenOffice and Firefox) and enchant, a wrapper that
+  provides automatic access to many spell checking libraries (ispell,
+  aspell, hspell, hunspell, etc.).

 
 

-- LFUN_ACCENT_SPECIAL_CARON.
+* On Mac Apples Spell Server is preconfigured as "native" spell checker.

 
 

-- LFUN_INSET_REFRESH.
+LyX 2.0 is configured for any and multiple of these three possibilities,
+given that they are installed on the machine where LyX is configured on.
+The actual spell checker can be selected in Tools > Preferences.
+Packagers are advised to pre-select whatever is most common on their
+platform/distribution.

 
 

-- LFUN_BREAK_PARAGRAPH_SKIP, LFUN_DELETE_BACKWARD_SKIP, LFUN_DELETE_FORWARD_SKIP.
+2.) THESAURUS:

 
 

-- LFUN_ERROR_NEXT
+* Support for the aiksaurus library has been dropped in favour of the
+  MyThes thesaurus library (the thesaurus library used by OpenOffice).
+  
+* LyX ships the MyThes library itself, so contrary to LyX 1.6.x, no
+  extra thesaurus library needs to be installed. However, LyX does not
+  ship any thesaurus dictionary.

 
 

+* The OpenOffice thesaurus dictionaries can be used, but the path to those
+  dictionary needs to be set in Tools > Preferences. Please refer to the
+  UserGuide, sec. 6.13, for further instructions.

 
 

-For the detailed description of LyX functions look into doxygen documentation.
+Packagers are advised to preset the thesaurus for their distribution/
+platform. Packagers of installation bundles (on Windows and the Mac)
+are advised to provide automatic installation of thesaurus disctionaries
+in the installation process (analoguous to the spellchecker installation).

 -------------------------------------------------------
 

-The support for Japanese has been improved in LyX 1.6.x. Due to encoding
-reasons, Japanese documents that were edited with LyX 1.6.x cannot correctly
-be converted to the format of LyX 1.5.x and thus not edited with LyX 1.5.x.
-To be able to use LyX 1.6 with Japanese, the latest version of the LaTeX
-distribution "platex" must be installed.
-platex provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex". When LyX is
-configured, this variant is used. In case you have problems with BibTeX-files
-that include Japanese or you need to use another BibTeX program, set it in LyX
-preferences under Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command.
