-- LyX might crash if you switch the encoding of a document while the

-- LyX might suddenly slow down when you have copied something in another
- instance of LyX or in another application. Known workaround: Ctrl+C of
- some text inside the active window bring the speed back.

-- Cursor restoration problems with Multiple-View:
- When using multiple Windows to edit different parts of the
- same document, the cursor position is sometimes not correctly restored
- when you switch from one view to the other.
-
-- RTL and keymaps:
- Currently there is a bug where you can't use two non-RTL language keymaps if
- the RTL preference is set (which is now the default). If you need to use two
- non-RTL keymaps, for now you should just turn off the RTL preference (Tools ->
- Preferences... -> Language settings -> Language, uncheck "Right-to-left
- language support").
- We hope to offer more comprehensive support for multiple keymaps in the future,
- which will solve this bug, as well as allow more than just two keymaps. If you
- have any input on this issue, please chime in on the developers mailing list,
- or add your comments to http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4051.

-Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.5.x
+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.
+
+1.) SPELLCHECKING:
+
+* Direct support for ispell and hspell has been dropped. However, ispell
+ and hspell are still accessible via the enchant wrapper (see below).
+
+* Support for the aspell command line program has been dropped. Note that
+ the aspell library (aspell 0.60.x) is still supported.
+
+* As well as the 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.).
+
+* On Mac OSX, Apple's Spell Server is preconfigured as the "native" spell
+ checker.
+
+LyX 2.0 is configured for any and all of these three possibilities,
+given that the various libraries are installed on the machine where LyX is
+configured. The actual spell checker can be selected in Tools > Preferences.
+Packagers are advised to pre-select whatever is most common on their
+platform/distribution.
+
+2.) THESAURUS:
+
+* 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 unlike in LyX 1.6.x, no extra
+ thesaurus library needs to be installed. However, LyX does not ship any
+ thesaurus dictionaries, and those do have to be installed separately.
+
+* The OpenOffice thesaurus dictionaries can be used, but the path to those
+ dictionaries needs to be set in Tools > Preferences. Please refer to the
+ UserGuide, sec. 6.13, for further instructions.
+
+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 dictionaries
+in the installation process (analoguous to the spellchecker installation).
+
+3.) LILYPOND:
+
+There is now direct support for Lilypond-book. Note that LyX requires at
+least version 2.14 for proper work.
+
+4.) INSTANT PREVIEW:
+
+Make sure that dv2dt (often part of LaTeX distributions) is installed
+on your system. Instant preview wil be disabled if dv2dt is not found.
+
+
+Known issues in version 2.0.0
+-----------------------------
+
+- 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.
