+What's new in LyX version 1.1.4?
+--------------------------------
+
+More internals have been rethought. In particular, most of the file IO
+routines of LyX have been rewritten to use real C++ streams. Many
+changes have also been done to help compile LyX with Sun CC 5.0 and
+SGI STL 3.2. 
+
+In the user-visible department, we find:
+
+- new command line option -x (or --execute) and -e (or --export). Now
+  direct conversion from .lyx to .tex (.dvi, .ps, ...) is possible
+  ('lyx file.lyx --export latex') Unfortunately, X is still needed and
+  the GUI pops up during the process...
+
+- better placement of accents for characters that LyX draws by itself;
+
+- improved translations, in particular in finnish (overhauled UI
+  translation), dutch (tutorial and examples), german
+
+- new configure flag --with-lyxname which allows to choose the name
+  under which lyx is installed. Default is "lyx", of course. It used
+  to be possible to do this with --program-suffix, but the later has
+  in fact a different meaning for autoconf.
+
+And of course, a lot of old bugs have been replaced by new ones ;)
+
+
+What's new in LyX version 1.1.3?
+--------------------------------
+
+More LyX internals have been cleaned-up in this version, but the usual
+small number of user-visible changes have appeared:
+
+- LyX is not able anymore to read some old files using latex inset
+  (this should not be a problem as these were already not generated by
+  LyX 0.12.0). Use LyX 1.0.4 to read files containing those.
+
+- The first line of a .lyx file does not contain anymore the file
+  creator name and the date of creation; this was causing various
+  problems. 
+
+- the -dbg command line switch is enhanced. For example, "-dbg lyxrc"
+  works now. 
+
+- Slightly better handling of dependency tracking for bibtex files.
+
+- The screen representations of \varepsilon and \epsilon have been
+  swapped. Now \epsilon shows as red text, and \varepsilon shows as it
+  should. This is of course a controversial change (since many people
+  will find that their lyx workscreen is suddenly full of red), but done
+  for the sake of correctness.
+
+- The characters \angle and \vee are now correctly displayed in math
+  formulas; the glyph for \Upsilon has been changed.
+
+- Characters '~' and '^' are now output using standard LaTeX macros,
+  which improves the result with T1 fonts.
+
+- new function "command-sequence" to bind several sequences to a key.
+
+- The textclass g-brief has been updated.
+
+And of course many bugs have been fixed.
