Interface changes
-----------------
+The external template format recognize now a new tag: 'Preview'. This tag is
+used to define how an external material should be previewed in LyX. For more
+detail, see the 'external_templates' file in the resource directory of LyX.
+
+LyX 1.6.0 introduces support for the pLaTeX distribution which provides extended
+language and script support for Japanese. The language "Japanese" now uses this
+new method. Japanese support via the CJK package is still available, but has been
+renamed to "Japanese (CJK)". Old documents continue to use the CJK method.
+Also cf. the "known issues" section for some remaining problems.
+
Some of the LyX functions have changed names:
- A new LFUN_SPECIALCHAR_INSERT has been implemented that obsoletes the
* LFUN_MENU_SEPARATOR_INSERT: removed. "menu-separator-insert"
has been replaced by "specialchar-insert menu-separator"

- "new-line".
+- The function LFUN_BREAK_LINE, "break-line" has been renamed to LFUN_NEWLINE_INSERT,
+ "newline-insert", and it now allows two options: "newline-insert newline" inserts
+ a \newline, "newline-insert linebreak" inserts a \linebreak.
- The function LFUN_PAGEBREAK_INSERT, "pagebreak-insert" has been renamed to
- LFUN_NEWPAGE_INSERT, "newpage-insert".

+ "newpage-insert pagebreak"
+
+ * LFUN_CLEARPAGE_INSERT: removed. "clearpage-insert" has been replaced by
+ "newpage-insert clearpage"

-Known issues in version 1.5.2
+Known issues in version 1.6.0
------------------------------------
-- LyX might crash if you switch the encoding of a document while the
- View->Source pane is opened.
- http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3561
-
-- LyX might suddenly slow down when you have copied something in another
- instance of LyX or in another application. Known workaround: Ctrl+C of
- some text inside the active window bring the speed back.
- http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4045
-
-- Cursor restoration problems with Multiple-View:
- When using multiple Windows to edit different parts of the
- same document, the cursor position is sometimes not correctly restored
- when you switch from one view to the other.
-
-- RTL and keymaps:
- Currently there is a bug where you can't use two non-RTL language keymaps if
- the RTL preference is set (which is now the default). If you need to use two
- non-RTL keymaps, for now you should just turn off the RTL preference (Tools ->
- Preferences... -> Language settings -> Language, uncheck "Right-to-left
- language support").
- We hope to offer more comprehensive support for multiple keymaps in the future,
- which will solve this bug, as well as allow more than just two keymaps. If you
- have any input on this issue, please chime in on the developers mailing list,
- or add your comments to http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4051.

-Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.5.x
+- New pLaTeX support for Japanese:
+ * Documents using this method can be backported to 1.5 in pricipal, but
+ the backported documents are not guaranteed to work, since 1.5 falls
+ back to the CJK package; expect the output to differ.
+ * pLaTeX provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex", which will
+ be selected automatically by LyX. If you run into problems with this or
+ if you need to use an alternative BibTeX program, you can change this
+ setting in the LyX preferences (Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command).
+
+
+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.6.x
-------------------------------------------------------
-Due to the change to Unicode, there are some general things you'll have to take care
-about when upgrading from an older version to LyX 1.5.0 or newer. Please refer to the
-file UPGRADING for details.
