+Interface changes
+-----------------
+
+Some of the LyX functions have changed names:
+
+- A new LFUN_SPECIALCHAR_INSERT has been implemented that obsoletes the
+ different LFUNs for single special characters:
+
+ * LFUN_HYPHENATION_POINT_INSERT: removed. "hyphenation-point-insert"
+ has been replaced by "specialchar-insert hyphenation-point"
+ * LFUN_LIGATURE_BREAK_INSERT: removed. "ligature-break-insert"
+ has been replaced by "specialchar-insert ligature-break"
+ * LFUN_DOTS_INSERT: removed. "dots-insert"
+ has been replaced by "specialchar-insert dots"
+ * LFUN_END_OF_SENTENCE_PERIOD_INSERT: removed. "end-of-sentence-period-insert"
+ has been replaced by "specialchar-insert end-of-sentence"
+ * LFUN_MENU_SEPARATOR_INSERT: removed. "menu-separator-insert"
+ has been replaced by "specialchar-insert menu-separator"
+
+- The function LFUN_BREAK_LINE, "break-line" has been renamed to LFUN_NEW_LINE,
+ "new-line".
+
+- The function LFUN_PAGEBREAK_INSERT, "pagebreak-insert" has been renamed to
+ LFUN_NEWPAGE_INSERT, "newpage-insert".
+
+- The function LFUN_WORDS_COUNT, "words-count", has been replaced by
+ LFUN_STATISTICS, "statistics", which counts more than words.
+
+- The function LFUN_MATH_NUMBER, "math-number", has been renamed to
+ LFUN_MATH_NUMBER_TOGGLE.
+
+- The function LFUN_MATH_NONUMBER, "math-nonumber", has been renamed to
+ LFUN_MATH_NUMBER_LINE_TOGGLE.
+
+- The function LFUN_CHARSTYLE_INSERT, "charstyle-insert", has been renamed to
+ LFUN_FLEX_INSERT, "flex-insert". It now handles beside charstyles, also
+ custom insets and XML short element insets.
+
+- The function LFUN_TOGGLE_CURSOR_FOLLOWS_SCROLLBAR, "toggle-cursor-follows-scrollbar"
+ has been renamed to LFUN_CURSOR_FOLLOWS_SCROLLBAR_TOGGLE,
+ "cursor-follows-scrollbar-toggle".
+
+The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
+
+- LFUN_SPECIALCHAR_INSERT, "specialchar-insert" (see above).
+
+- LFUN_LINE_BREAK, "line-break".
+
+- LFUN_PAGEBREAK_INSERT, "pagebreak-insert".
+
+
+Known issues in version 1.5.2
+------------------------------------
+
+- LyX might crash if you switch the encoding of a document while the
+ View->Source pane is opened.
+ http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3561
+
+- LyX might suddenly slow down when you have copied something in another
+ instance of LyX or in another application. Known workaround: Ctrl+C of
+ some text inside the active window bring the speed back.
+ http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4045
+
+- Cursor restoration problems with Multiple-View:
+ When using multiple Windows to edit different parts of the
+ same document, the cursor position is sometimes not correctly restored
+ when you switch from one view to the other.
+
+- RTL and keymaps:
+ Currently there is a bug where you can't use two non-RTL language keymaps if
+ the RTL preference is set (which is now the default). If you need to use two
+ non-RTL keymaps, for now you should just turn off the RTL preference (Tools ->
+ Preferences... -> Language settings -> Language, uncheck "Right-to-left
+ language support").
+ We hope to offer more comprehensive support for multiple keymaps in the future,
+ which will solve this bug, as well as allow more than just two keymaps. If you
+ have any input on this issue, please chime in on the developers mailing list,
+ or add your comments to http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4051.
+
+
+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.5.x
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Due to the change to Unicode, there are some general things you'll have to take care
+about when upgrading from an older version to LyX 1.5.0 or newer. Please refer to the
+file UPGRADING for details.
