Interface changes
-----------------
-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
-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.
+There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
+options have been added:
-The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0
+-export-to <format> <dest> (-E <format> <dest>)
-- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore)
+ Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened
+ to the specified destination file <dest> and format <format>.
+ For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run:
+ lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx
+ See the manual page for details.
-- \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 pref variables were changed in 2.0:
+The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0:

-
-- 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_OUTLINE_DRAGMOVE ("outline-dragmove").
-
-- LFUN_BRANCHES_RENAME ("branches-rename").
-
-- LFUN_BRANCH_ADD_INSERT ("branch-add-insert").
+//template, remove this entry later on
+- LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync").
The following LyX functions have been removed:
+//template, remove this entry later on
- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
-- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead.
-
The following LyX functions have been changed:
+//template, remove this entry later on
- 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.
-Known issues in version 2.0.0
------------------------------
+The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
+//template, remove this entry later on
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
+ The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".
-Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x
--------------------------------------------------------
+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
+particularly applies to spell checking and the thesaurus.
+Known issues in version 2.0.0
+-----------------------------
-Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at
- http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes
+- 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.
-TODO
-----
-- Somebody should create a rc2rc script...
- http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/27531
-
-- some summary about 3rd party programs additions/removals should be
- written for packagers (eg aiksauraus, libtool).
