+What's new in version 1.2.0?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 1.2.0 is the version where many of changes in the 1.1.x series
+begin to really pay off. It should prove to be a very solid base for
+further developments. As of this version, we use (yet another) new
+versioning scheme: next major version will be 1.3.0, and 1.2.x will
+be just incremental fixes (like the fix series used to be for 1.1.5
+and 1.1.6).
+
+Switch to the so-called 'new' insets:
+
+- floats, footnotes and margin notes are now real insets
+
+- most problems with the new table inset of 1.1.6 have been resolved
+ (memory consumption, spell-checking, search and replace...)
+
+- TeX mode has been superseded by the 666 (aka ERT) inset, which is
+ foldable
+
+- new graphics inset superseding the older figure inset [will that be
+ OK in 1.2.0?]
+
+- new minipage inset
+
+- notes inset can now contain arbitrary LyX constructs
+
+- new ligature break special character, useful for words like
+ shelfful, or many german words
+
+The math editor has been mostly rewritten (and thus may have many new
+bugs :). Most of the changes should not be visible for the user,
+except:
+
+- improvements to the parser
+
+- improvements to math text mode
+
+- (better) support for nested macros
+
+- (better) support for \limits/\nolimits
+
+- enable size changes to arrays after creation (add/delete rows/columns)
+
+- enable switching between equation/eqnarray and align environment
+
+
+Most of the popups have been rewritten in the GUI-I framework:
+
+- [...]
+
+- the kde frontend has been dropped in favor of a new qt2 frontend.
+ Note that only the xforms front is really operational as of this
+ version.
+
+Other changes include:
+
+- support for natbib for bibliography citations
+
+- support for parsing preamble when converting LaTeX files
+
+- updated documentation
+
