+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.
Interface changes
-----------------
-Some of the LyX functions have changed names:
+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.
-- A new LFUN_SPECIALCHAR_INSERT has been implemented that obsoletes the
- different LFUNs for single special characters:
+The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0

-Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.6.x
+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x
-------------------------------------------------------
-The support for Japanese has been improved in LyX 1.6.x. Due to encoding
-reasons, Japanese documents that were edited with LyX 1.6.x cannot correctly
-be converted to the format of LyX 1.5.x and thus not edited with LyX 1.5.x.
-To be able to use LyX 1.6 with Japanese, the latest version of the LaTeX
-distribution "platex" must be installed.
-platex provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex". When LyX is
-configured, this variant is used. In case you have problems with BibTeX-files
-that include Japanese or you need to use another BibTeX program, set it in LyX
-preferences under Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command.

+- Somebody should create a rc2rc script...
+ http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/27531
+
+- some summary about 3rd party programs additions/removals should be
