-This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.1.0, some
-known problems in LyX 2.1.0 and some things you have to take into account
-when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.1.x series.
-
-
-Interface changes
------------------
-
-Whenever the user closes a (tabbed) view on a document, either by
-clicking on the tab close button, or by using the File->Close menu,
-LyX now closes exclusively that specific view. If there are other
-views showing the same document, they are not closed. When the user
-closes the last view, LyX can be configured for either closing the
-document, or keeping it into memory as a hidden document (that can be
-shown again through the View->Hidden-> submenu).
-
-A new configurable preference option has been added, allowing for either
-(close_buffer_with_last_view)
-
-There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
-options have been added:
-
--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).
-
-The Advanced Find and Replace feature now supports cancel of a long
-search operation by hitting the ESC key.
-
-The following pref variables were changed in 2.1:
-
-- \\close_buffer_with_last_view [yes|no|ask]
- When user closes the last view on a document, close the document
- as well ("yes"), or hide the document ("no"), or ask the user
- ("ask").
-
-The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.1:
-
-- \\default_language
-- \\default_papersize
-
-To set the default language and paper size for new documents, use the
-"Save As Document Defaults" button in Document > Settings.
-
-The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
-
-- LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS <format> <filename>
- Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above).
-
-- LFUN_CLIPBOARD_PASTE_SIMPLE ("clipboard-paste-simple")
- Paste the clipboard contents as simple unformatted text.
- This is also available through a new menu voice within the
- [Edit]->[Paste Special...] sub-menu.
-
-- LFUN_VIEW_CLOSE
- Close the current document view only, if there are no more views
- on the document, either close or hide it (see the new preference
- option \\close_buffer_with_last_view)
-
-The following LyX functions have been removed:
-
-//template, remove this entry later on
-- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
-
-
-The following LyX functions have been changed:
-
-//template, remove this entry later on
-- 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_CLOSE_TAB_GROUP_CLOSE ("close-tab-group") was renamed to
- LFUN_TAB_GROUP_CLOSE ("tab-group-close").
-
-The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
-
-//template, remove this entry later on
-- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
- The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
-
-- The binding "C-w" was moved from "buffer-close" to "view-close".
-
-
-Linux desktop file specification and scalable icon has been included
-into the tarball.
-
-
-New external programs and libraries:
-------------------------------------
-
-- LyX links now against libmagic (http://www.darwinsys.com/file/) if it is
- available at compile time. This improves the file format detection of
- included graphics and other files. The old builtin format detection code
- is used if libmagic is not available.
-
-
-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.
-
-Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.1.x
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-In order to improve reported scrolling slowness, we changed the way screen
-painting is done. This, however, can slow down the performance on remote
-X connections and we provide RC_USE_QIMAGE variable, which brings back
-the old way of painting (when set to false).
