-Known issues in version 1.5.2
+New external programs and libraries:
------------------------------------
-- 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
--------------------------------------------------------
+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.
+
-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.
+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.
