Interface changes
-----------------
-There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
-options have been added:
--export-to <format> <dest> (-E <format> <dest>)
- 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.
- This functionality is also available via a new menu voice
- Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to
- choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname.
- Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch)
- through a proper new LFUN (see below).
+The following pref variables were added in 2.2:
-The following pref variables were changed in 2.0:
-The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0:
+The following pref variables were changed in 2.2:
-The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
-- LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS <format> <filename>
- Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above).
-//template, remove this entry later on
-- LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync").
+The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.2:
+- \\rtl
+ This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of
+ the then-new right-to-left languages support. It is no longer needed
+ because of improvements. Now right-to-left support is always enabled.
-The following LyX functions have been removed:
-//template, remove this entry later on
-- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.2:
-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.
-
+The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.2:
-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".
+The following LyX key bindings have been changed in 2.2:
-New external programs and libraries:
-------------------------------------
+- "C-a" is now bound to "inset-select-all" and "C-M-a" is now
+ bound to the old function (a command-sequence to select the
+ entire buffer).
-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.
+The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2:
-Known issues in version 2.0.0
+
+
+The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2:

+
+Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2:
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+- LyX is not yet supposed to work with Qt5. It is advised to compile and
+ run LyX against Qt 4.8.x. On Windows, Qt 4.8.5 suffers from a bug that
+ breaks the use of shortcuts, so on Windows Qt 4.8.4 is advised.
+
+
+Known issues in version 2.2.0
-----------------------------
- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
be enough.
