-Known issues in version 1.5.2
+Known issues in version 1.6.0
------------------------------------
-- 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
+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.6.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.
+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.
