Bash completion script was added to the tarball.
-The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0
+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+- \language_use_babel (bool) has been replaced by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)
- LFUN_SPELLING_IGNORE ("spelling-ignore").
+- LFUN_SPELLING_REMOVE ("spelling-remove").

- LFUN_PREVIEW_INSERT ("preview-insert").
- LFUN_FORWARD_SEARCH ("forward-search").
- LFUN_INSET_COPY_AS ("inset-copy-as").
+- LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync").
+
The following LyX functions have been removed:
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:
* Support for the aspell command line program has been dropped. Note that
the aspell library (aspell 0.60.x) is still supported.
-* Next to aspell (library), LyX now also supports hunspell (the spell
+* 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 Apples Spell Server is preconfigured as "native" spell checker.
+* On Mac OSX, Apple's Spell Server is preconfigured as the "native" spell

-LyX 2.0 is configured for any and multiple of these three possibilities,
-given that they are installed on the machine where LyX is configured on.

Packagers are advised to pre-select whatever is most common on their
platform/distribution.
* 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 contrary to LyX 1.6.x, no
- extra thesaurus library needs to be installed. However, LyX does not

+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.
