+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.

Known issues in version 1.6.0
------------------------------------
-- ...
+- 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
-------------------------------------------------------
-The support for Japanese has been improved in LyX 1.6.x. Due to encoding
-reasons, Japanese documents that were edited with LyX 1.6.x cannot correctly
-be converted to the format of LyX 1.5.x and thus not edited with LyX 1.5.x.
-To be able to use LyX 1.6 with Japanese, the latest version of the LaTeX
-distribution "platex" must be installed.
-platex provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex". When LyX is
-configured, this variant is used. In case you have problems with BibTeX-files
-that include Japanese or you need to use another BibTeX program, set it in LyX
-preferences under Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command.
