already). At present, not many commands can be used this way, but there will
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+- \language_use_babel (bool) has been replaced by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)

+- 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.
-New external programs and libaries:
------------------------------------
+ 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
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.
