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
+ 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
+Bash completion script was added to the tarball.
+
+The following pref variables were changed in 2.0:
+
+- \language_package was renamed to \language_custom_package
+
+- \language_use_babel (bool) has been replaced by
+ \language_package_selection, which can be
+ 0 (automatic selection)
+ 1 (always use babel)
+ 2 custom (use the custom package defined by
+ \language_custom_package)
+ 3 none (equivalent to former \language_use_babel false)
+
+The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0:
- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore)
-- \spell_command and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been removed)
+
+- \personal_dictionary, \spell_command, \use_input_encoding,
+ \use_personal_dictionary and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been
+ removed)
+
+- \spellchecker_use_alt_lang and \use_escape_chars (actually not used
+ by the UI, and it is as simple to check whether the relevant

The following LyX functions have been removed:
-- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE (next-inset-toggle): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY ("next-inset-modify"): use "inset-modify" instead.

+- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead.
+
+- LFUN_NOTES_MUTATE ("notes-mutate"): replace
+ notes-mutate <SOURCE> <TARGET>
+ with the more general function inset-forall
+ inset-forall Note:<SOURCE> inset-modify note Note <TARGET>
+
+- LFUN_ALL_INSETS_TOGGLE ("all-insets-toggle"): replace
+ all-insets-toggle <ACTION> <TARGET>
+ all-insets-toggle <ACTION>
+ with the more generic function inset-forall
+ inset-forall <TARGET> inset-toggle <ACTION>
+ inset-forall * inset-toggle <ACTION>
+ There is a difference in the <TARGET> parameter, which is would be
+ like "note" in the first case and "Note" in the second.
+
+- LFUN_TABULAR_FEATURE ("tabular-feature"): use "inset-modify" instead.
+ I.e., "tabular-feature FEATURE <ARGS>" becomes:
+ inset-modify tabular FEATURE <ARGS>
+
+- LFUN_LINE_INSERT ("line-insert"): use "inset-insert line" instead. For
+ something close to the previous default, use:
+ inset-insert line rule height 0.25ex width 100col% \\end_inset
+ This is necessary because the line inset now takes various arguments.
+
+- LFUN_TOC_INSERT ("toc-insert"): use "inset-insert toc" instead.
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been changed:
+
+- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used
+ to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
+ inset-settings for this purpose.
+
+- LFUN_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings
+ arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word
+ at current cursor position, even if it is not selected.
+
+- LFUN_OPTIONAL_INSERT ("optional-insert") has been renamed LFUN_ARGUMENT_INSERT
+ ("argument-insert").
+
+
+The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
+
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
+ The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
+
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_UNFOLD ("math-macro-unfold")
+ The binding to "C-plus" has changed to "C-S-asterisk".
+
+
+New external programs and libaries:
+-----------------------------------
+
+LyX 2.0 introduces support for some new external helper programs/libraries,
+while the support for some existing programs has been dropped. This
+particularly applies to spell checking and the thesaurus.
+
+1.) SPELLCHECKING:
+
+* Direct support for ispell and hspell has been dropped. However, ispell
+ and hspell are still accessible via the enchant wrapper (see below).
+
+* Support for the aspell command line program has been dropped. Note that
+ the aspell library (aspell 0.60.x) is still supported.
+
+* As well as the aspell library, LyX now also supports hunspell (the spell
+ checker used by OpenOffice and Firefox) and enchant, a wrapper that
+ provides automatic access to many spell checking libraries (ispell,
+ aspell, hspell, hunspell, etc.).
+
+* On Mac OSX, Apple's Spell Server is preconfigured as the "native" spell
+ checker.
+
+LyX 2.0 is configured for any and all of these three possibilities,
+given that the various libraries are installed on the machine where LyX is
+configured. The actual spell checker can be selected in Tools > Preferences.
+Packagers are advised to pre-select whatever is most common on their
+platform/distribution.
+
+2.) THESAURUS:
+
+* Support for the aiksaurus library has been dropped in favour of the
+ MyThes thesaurus library (the thesaurus library used by OpenOffice).
+
+* LyX ships the MyThes library itself, so unlike in LyX 1.6.x, no extra
+ thesaurus library needs to be installed. However, LyX does not ship any
+ thesaurus dictionaries, and those do have to be installed separately.
+
+* The OpenOffice thesaurus dictionaries can be used, but the path to those
+ dictionaries needs to be set in Tools > Preferences. Please refer to the
+ UserGuide, sec. 6.13, for further instructions.
+
+Packagers are advised to preset the thesaurus for their distribution/
+platform. Packagers of installation bundles (on Windows and the Mac)
+are advised to provide automatic installation of thesaurus dictionaries
+in the installation process (analoguous to the spellchecker installation).
+
+3.) LILYPOND:
+
+There is now direct support for Lilypond-book. Note that LyX requires at
+least version 2.14 for proper work.
+
Known issues in version 2.0.0
-----------------------------
+- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
+ where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
+ this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
+ be enough.
Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x
-------------------------------------------------------
+- The syntax of the languages file has been changed. If you use a modified
+ languages file, you will need to adapt it to the new syntax, as LyX 2.0
+ is not able to read old languages file anymore.
+ Please refer to the beginning of the languages file for an explanation
+ of the new syntax.
+- There has been a large change in how Flex insets are named. Previously,
+ they tended to have names like "CharStyle:Noun". Now, they just have
+ names like "Flex:Noun" (where "Flex" is a namespace that is optional).
+ When LyX 2.0 reads older files, it silently converts the old-style names
+ to new-style names; this direction works perfectly. It will also silently
+ revert new-style names to old-style names, when exporting to 1.6.x format,
+ but only for the pre-defined LyX insets. This means that user-defined flex
+ insets will not be properly reverted.
+ To solve this problem, you can modify the file $LYXDIR/lyx2lyx/lyx_2_0.py.
+ In that file, you will find the following:
+ flex_insets = {
+ "Alert" : "CharStyle:Alert",
+ "Code" : "CharStyle:Code",
+ "Concepts" : "CharStyle:Concepts",
+ "E-Mail" : "CharStyle:E-Mail",
+ "Emph" : "CharStyle:Emph",
+ "Expression" : "CharStyle:Expression",
+ "Initial" : "CharStyle:Initial",
+ "Institute" : "CharStyle:Institute",
+ "Meaning" : "CharStyle:Meaning",
+ "Noun" : "CharStyle:Noun",
+ "Strong" : "CharStyle:Strong",
+ "Structure" : "CharStyle:Structure",
+ "ArticleMode" : "Custom:ArticleMode",
+ "Endnote" : "Custom:Endnote",
+ "Glosse" : "Custom:Glosse",
+ "PresentationMode" : "Custom:PresentationMode",
+ "Tri-Glosse" : "Custom:Tri-Glosse"
+ }
+ This is a map form new-style names (minux "Flex") to old-style names (and
+ there is a similar for DocBook elements). To get a user-defined CharStyle
+ to revert properly, it simply needs to be added to this list.
Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at
