There have been some changes to the LyX command line. There is a new option
"--batch" that causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI
window. Thus, something like:
- lyx --batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx
+ lyx -batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx
will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and
the default print settings (which, of course, have to have been configured
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.

The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0
- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore)
-- \spell_command and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been removed)
+
+- \personal_dictionary, \spell_command, \use_input_encoding,
+ \use_personal_dictionary and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been
+ removed)
+
+- \spellchecker_use_alt_lang and \use_escape_chars (actually not used
+ by the UI, and it is as simple to check whether the relevant
+ variable is empty)
+
+- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format
The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode").
-- LFUN_COPY_LABEL_AS_REF ("copy-label-as-reference").
+- LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end"").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select").
+
+- LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous").
+
+- LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference").
+
+- LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave").

+
+- LFUN_FORWARD_SEARCH ("forward-search").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_COPY_AS ("inset-copy-as").
+
+- LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync").
+
The following LyX functions have been removed:
-- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE (next-inset-toggle): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY ("next-inset-modify"): use "inset-modify" instead.
+
+- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead.
+
+- LFUN_NOTES_MUTATE ("notes-mutate"): replace
+ notes-mutate <SOURCE> <TARGET>
+ with the more general function inset-forall
+ inset-forall Note:<SOURCE> inset-modify note Note <TARGET>
+
+- LFUN_ALL_INSETS_TOGGLE ("all-insets-toggle"): replace
+ all-insets-toggle <ACTION> <TARGET>
+ all-insets-toggle <ACTION>
+ with the more generic function inset-forall
+ inset-forall <TARGET> inset-toggle <ACTION>
+ inset-forall * inset-toggle <ACTION>
+ There is a difference in the <TARGET> parameter, which is would be
+ like "note" in the first case and "Note" in the second.
+
+- LFUN_TABULAR_FEATURE ("tabular-feature"): use "inset-modify" instead.
+ I.e., "tabular-feature FEATURE <ARGS>" becomes:
+ inset-modify tabular FEATURE <ARGS>
+
+- LFUN_LINE_INSERT ("line-insert"): use "inset-insert line" instead. For
+ something close to the previous default, use:
+ inset-insert line rule height 0.25ex width 100col% \\end_inset
+ This is necessary because the line inset now takes various arguments.
+
+- LFUN_TOC_INSERT ("toc-insert"): use "inset-insert toc" instead.
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been changed:
+
+- 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_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings
+ arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word
+ at current cursor position, even if it is not selected.
+
+- LFUN_OPTIONAL_INSERT ("optional-insert") has been renamed LFUN_ARGUMENT_INSERT
+ ("argument-insert").
+
+
+The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
+
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
+ The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
+
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_UNFOLD ("math-macro-unfold")
+ The binding to "C-plus" has changed to "C-S-asterisk".

+
+New external programs and libaries:
+-----------------------------------
+
+LyX 2.0 introduces support for some new external helper programs/libraries,
+while the support for some existing programs has been dropped. This
+particularly applies to spell checking and the thesaurus.
+
+1.) SPELLCHECKING:
+
+* Direct support for ispell and hspell has been dropped. However, ispell
+ and hspell are still accessible via the enchant wrapper (see below).
+
+* Support for the aspell command line program has been dropped. Note that
+ the aspell library (aspell 0.60.x) is still supported.
+
+* As well as the aspell library, LyX now also supports hunspell (the spell
+ checker used by OpenOffice and Firefox) and enchant, a wrapper that
+ provides automatic access to many spell checking libraries (ispell,
+ aspell, hspell, hunspell, etc.).
+
+* On Mac OSX, Apple's Spell Server is preconfigured as the "native" spell
+ checker.
+
+LyX 2.0 is configured for any and all of these three possibilities,
+given that the various libraries are installed on the machine where LyX is
+configured. The actual spell checker can be selected in Tools > Preferences.
+Packagers are advised to pre-select whatever is most common on their
+platform/distribution.
+
+2.) THESAURUS:
+
+* Support for the aiksaurus library has been dropped in favour of the
+ MyThes thesaurus library (the thesaurus library used by OpenOffice).
+
+* LyX ships the MyThes library itself, so unlike in LyX 1.6.x, no extra
+ thesaurus library needs to be installed. However, LyX does not ship any
+ thesaurus dictionaries, and those do have to be installed separately.
+
+* The OpenOffice thesaurus dictionaries can be used, but the path to those
+ dictionaries needs to be set in Tools > Preferences. Please refer to the
+ UserGuide, sec. 6.13, for further instructions.
+
+Packagers are advised to preset the thesaurus for their distribution/
+platform. Packagers of installation bundles (on Windows and the Mac)
+are advised to provide automatic installation of thesaurus dictionaries
+in the installation process (analoguous to the spellchecker installation).
+
+3.) LILYPOND:
+
+There is now direct support for Lilypond-book. Note that LyX requires at
+least version 2.14 for proper work.
+
Known issues in version 2.0.0
-----------------------------
Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x
-------------------------------------------------------
+- 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.
