+* LyX now uses utf8 encoding per default for all languages. This does not affect
+ existing documents. Note that LyX also does not touch personal defaults and templates.
+ That is to say, if you still see traditional encoding preset for new documents,
+ you can change that by selecting "Unicode (utf8) [default]" and hitting "Save
+ as Documents Defaults" afterwards. Your personal templates need to be changed manually
+ if desired.

+* LyX defaults to the "HE8" LaTeX font encoding with Hebrew if the
+ "Culmus" LaTeX fonts are installed.
