-Known issues with version 1.5.0
---------------------------------
+This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.0.0, some 
+known problems in LyX 2.0.0 and some things you have to take into account
+when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.0.x series.
+Note that fixes are available for some of these, but they have not yet
+been applied because of incomplete testing.
 
-This file describes some known problems in LyX 1.5.0-beta1 that did not

+Interface changes
+-----------------
+
+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)
+- \spell_command and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been removed)
+- \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_COPY_LABEL_AS_REF ("copy-label-as-reference").
+
+The following LyX functions have been removed:
+
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE (next-inset-toggle): use "inset-toggle" instead.
