+This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.0.0, some
+known problems in LyX 2.0.0 and some things you have to take into account
+when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.0.x series.
Note that fixes are available for some of these, but they have not yet
been applied because of incomplete testing.
Interface changes
-----------------
-Some of the LyX functions have changed names:
+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.

-Known issues in version 1.5.2
-------------------------------------
-
-- 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 2.0.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.
