be more eventually.
-Bash completion script was added to the tarball.
+A bash completion script was added to the tarball.
-The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0
+We have introduced a new flag to decide whether or not a given "document"
+format shall be listed in the File > Export menu. This was necessary since
+this menu got too large. If the flag "menu=export" is not explicitly set,
+the formats are not included in the menu. This means that you might need
+to click "Show in export menu" in Preferences > File Formats for your
+customized file formats if you want them to appear in the menu.
+Note, though, that you still can export to any possible format via
+File > Export > More Formats and Options ...

+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+- \language_use_babel (bool) has been replaced by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_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY ("next-inset-modify"): use "inset-modify" instead.
-
- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead.

------------------------------------
+- 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".
+
+- On Mac OSX the modifier keys <Control> and <Option> are now treated separately.
+ The distributed key binding for Mac OSX no longer uses the <Option> key for
+ shortcuts with letters or numbers.
+
+ The custom key bindings for <Option>/<Control> are mapped to the <Control>
+ modifier only.
+
+New external programs and libraries:
+------------------------------------
LyX 2.0 introduces support for some new external helper programs/libraries,
while the support for some existing programs has been dropped. This
* 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.).
-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.
-The actual spell checker can be selected in Tools > Preferences.
+* 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.
* 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
- ship any thesaurus dictionary.
+* 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. 6.14, 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 disctionaries
+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.
+
+4.) INSTANT PREVIEW:
+
+Make sure that dv2dt (often part of LaTeX distributions) is installed
+on your system. Instant preview wil be disabled if dv2dt is not found.
+
+5.) LuaTeX support
+
+For proper LuaTeX support you need to have at least TeXLive 2010.
+
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 typeset of your documents with non-english language can slightly
+ change in case of math environments and floats (this is usually the case
+ with certain modules which provide specific environments like AMS ones
+ or provide specific floats like the linguistic one).
+
+ LyX now uses its own translation machinery which will automatically provide
+ localization strings used so far only in GUI. The status of translation to
+ your language can be seen in lib/layouttranslation file. This is not meant as
+ a babel replacement (still used), but rather extension for strings not
+ translated by babel at all.
+
+- 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 the "Flex" prefix is now required). When
+ LyX 2.0 reads older files, it silently converts the old-style names
+ to new-style names; this direction works almost perfectly. The one place
+ it does not work is with CopyStyle declarations, IF your old InsetLayout
+ was NOT named "CharStyle:..." or "Custom:..." or "Element:...", but, say,
+ just "MyInset". In that case, "InsetLayout MyInset" will be changed to
+ "InsetLayout Flex:MyInset", but "CopyStyle MyInset" will be left as is.
+ Users will need to make that kind of change manually. The best way to do
+ this is to use the layout2layout.py script, which gets installed in
+ $LYXDIR/scripts/layout2layout.py, to convert your custom layout files to
+ the new format, and then check them for correctness.
+
+ LyX 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 from 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.
