-Some of the LyX functions have changed names:
-

- different LFUNs for single special characters:

-Known issues in version 1.5.2
-------------------------------------
-
-- LyX might crash if you switch the encoding of a document while the
- View->Source pane is opened.
- http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3561
-
-- 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.
- http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4045
-
-- 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
+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.
+
+The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0
+
+- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore)
+
+- \personal_dictionary, \spell_command, \use_input_encoding,
+ \use_personal_dictionary and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been
+ removed)
+
+- \spellchecker_use_alt_lang and \use_escape_chars (actually not used
+ by the UI, and it is as simple to check whether the relevant
+ variable is empty)
+
+- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format
+
+
+The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
+
+- LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv").
+
+- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode").
+
+- LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end"").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select").
+
+- LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous").
+
+- LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference").
+
+- LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave").
+
+- LFUN_BRANCHES_RENAME ("branches-rename").
+
+- LFUN_BRANCH_ADD_INSERT ("branch-add-insert").
+
+- LFUN_BUFFER_CLOSE_ALL ("buffer-close-all").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_FORALL ("inset-forall").
+
+- LFUN_DEBUG_LEVEL_SET ("debug-level-set").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_SELECT_ALL ("inset-select-all").
+
+- LFUN_MATH_AMS_MATRIX ("math-ams-matrix").
+
+- LFUN_VC_COMPARE ("vc-compare").
+
+- LFUN_SPELLING_ADD ("spelling-add").
+
+- LFUN_SPELLING_IGNORE ("spelling-ignore").
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been removed:
+
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY ("next-inset-modify"): use "inset-modify" instead.
+
+- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead.
+
+- 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_TABULAR_FEATURE ("tabular-feature"): use "inset-modify" instead.
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been changed:
+
+- 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.
+
+
+New external programs and libaries:
+-----------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+* 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.).
+
+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.
+
+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 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.
+
+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).
