Interface changes
-----------------
-Some lyxrc variables have been removed:
+There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
+options have been added:
-- \plaintext_roff_command was not used anymore, it is now removed.
+-export-to <format> <dest> (-E <format> <dest>)
+ Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened
+ to the specified destination file <dest> and format <format>.
+ For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run:
+ lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx
+ See the manual page for details.
+ This functionality is also available via a new menu voice
+ Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to
+ choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname.
+ Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch)
+ through a proper new LFUN (see below).

+Known issues in version 2.1.0
+-----------------------------
+
+- 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.
