+What's new in LyX version 1.1.6?
+--------------------------------
+
+As for all of the 1.1.x versions of LyX, this release contains a lot
+of new code: in particular, half of the changes described in the
+ChangeLog (which dates back to the 1.1.0 release) describe changes in
+LyX 1.1.6!
+
+Besides the usual under-the-hood changes, LyX 1.1.6 has many
+new user-visible features. The main visible feature is that the
+GUI-independent branch of development has been merged, as well as code
+from the older development version:
+
+- many popups have been rewritten to use the new GUI-I scheme. In the
+ process they have gotten a nice cleanup: the Document and Paragraph
+ popups now contain in one single place what was previously scattered
+ in many places. Similarly, the citation and cross reference popups
+ have been overhauled.
+
+- LyX now has a Preference popup where you can change most of your
+ lyxrc settings [Allan, details?]
+
+- the menus can now be defined from a text file (like the toolbar) and
+ shows the keyboard bindings associated to commands.
+
+- it is now possible to provide your own icons for the toolbar.
+
+- last but not least, work has begun on a KDE and a GNome frontend for
+ LyX. They are not officially supported for this version, but this
+ can give you an idea of what is happening.
+
+Other major changes in 1.1.6 include:
+
+- the table support has been completely rewritten. It uses the new
+ text inset which will be use throughout LyX in version 1.2.0 and
+ offers many new features: [Juergen??]
+
+- new external material inset: this is a new kind of very powerful
+ inset which will allow LyX to interface intelligently with external
+ applications. Among other good things, it will allow you to finally
+ include GIF, JPEG, TIF, PNG, or just about any other raster format
+ images in your document. It will even do an approximate ascii
+ rendering when you do Ascii export if you have gifscii installed.
+
+- the code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for
+ viewing or exporting purpose) has been rewritten. In particular, the
+ PDF format is now supported [Dekel, details?]
+
+- DocBook improvements [José, details?]
+
+And finally, there has been a lot of smaller changes, which are
+mentionned here for your information
+
+- the menu entry File->New does not prompt for a file name by default
+ (this can be changed in lyxrc).
+
+- new -geometry command line option, which replaces the old -width,
+ -height, etc.

What's new in LyX version 1.1.5?
--------------------------------
Lots of internal code rewritten, fixed, changed and added.
-We are taking the C++ Standard Library in greater use for each day,
-this will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain
+We are using the C++ Standard Library more each day.
+This will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain
and expand.
We are also gearing up for the merge of the gui-indep branch, expect
this (but not the new gui's) in 1.1.6.
- Right-to-Left support for Hebrew and Arabic, this is a first attempt
only and is likely to improve in future versions.
-- New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the !
- in the margin for margin notes has been removed).
-
- Per-paragraph spacing, currently only settable from the
command-line/window:
paragraph-spacing (default,single,onehalf,double,other) [float]
-- More accurate error reporting from LaTeX runs.
+- New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the !
+ in the margin for margin notes has been removed).
+
+- End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense.
+
+- labels are now editable (not in equations, though).
- Much faster spellchecking (50x faster!).
+- The parsing of the LaTex log has improved flagging more errors that
+ earlier versions of LyX did not see at all. So if you suddenly have
+ errors in documents that used to have none, this might be the casue.
+ (And you probably had the error always.)
+
- Better definition for LyXList style.
-- End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense.
+- hollywood.layout and broadway.layout have improved. New classes
+ LLNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), svjog (Journal of Geodesy)
+
+- support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support)
- A couple of changes to the LyX format, so that files written with
1.1.5 will not be parsed correctly by older LyX versions if protected
by lyx should be stored, and \override_x_deadkeys to tell whether
lyx should provide its own accent keys handling (default is true).
-- the hollywood.layout has improved.

-- support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support)
