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.

+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:
The binding to "C-plus" has changed to "C-S-asterisk".
-New external programs and libaries:
------------------------------------
+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.

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
-------------------------------------------------------
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 "Flex" is a namespace that is optional).
+ When LyX 2.0 reads older files, it silently converts the old-style names
+ to new-style names; this direction works perfectly. It 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 form 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.
