!!Interface changes
+* The --Separator-- layout has been removed in favor of an environment
+ separator inset. There is no provision for inserting this inset from
+ the GUI (though some menu entries use it) as it is automatically inserted
+ when needed. See Section 3.4.6 of the User Guide for details.
+
+* The prefix for subsections in labels and references has been changed from
+ "sub:" to "subsec:" in order to avoid a clash with subfloats (conflicting
+ \subref command, see bug #7550). Files are automatically converted to the new
+ scheme. Please assure that you adapt external refstyle or prettyref definitions
+ and your own layout files.
+
+* Support for printing from within LyX (File> Print) has been removed. LyX's
+ printing support was very limited, and most users will want to print after
+ reviewing an output document (e.g., a PDF), anyway, which can be done from the
+ PDF viewer.
+ Users who would like to restore this functionality can create a
+ "printer" format from within LyX and then define, say, a
+ pdf->printer converter that does nothing but call lpd, or a2ps, or
+ whatever. The "printer" will then be available as an export option.

+!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.2:
+* \save_origin
+ This variable was introduced to allow saving the document directory
+ path in the document. If allowed, LyX will be able to locate all
+ included files even when the document is manually moved/copied to
+ a different location. If a valid \origin tag is present and the
+ document was actually moved, the path of all included files is
+ updated relative to the new location and the new origin will be
+ recorded when saving again the document.
!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.2:
!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.2:
-* \rtl:
+* \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.
+* \printer
+* \print_adapt_output
+* \print_command
+* \print_evenpage_flag
+* \print_oddpage_flag
+* \print_pagerange_flag
+* \print_copies_flag
+* \print_collcopies_flag
+* \print_reverse_flag
+* \print_to_printer
+* \print_to_file
+* \print_file_extension:
+ These were used for print support, which has been removed.
+
!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.2:
-* buffer-view-cache:
+* buffer-view-cache
Opens the last previewed output of the buffer, if it exists.
-* buffer-move-next:
+* buffer-move-next
Moves the current tab one spot to the right.
-* buffer-move-previous:
+* buffer-move-previous
Moves the current tab one spot to the left.
!!!The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.2:
-
+* word-upcase, word-lowcase and word-capitalize do not select the word
+ to operate on in the emacs way (that is, starting at cursor
+ position); this behaviour can be restored by using the argument
+ "partial".
!!!The following LyX key bindings have been changed in 2.2:
{next, previous} tab, Control + Shift + {PgDn, PgUp} moves the current
tab to the {next, previous} tab.
+* The shortcuts for "bookmark-save x" have been changed from C-M-S-x to S-Fx
+ ("x" stands for the number of the bookmark.)
+
!!!The following LyX documents have been moved 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.
+* LyX 2.2.0 and the following 2.2.x releases will continue to work well with
+ Qt 4.5 (and later Qt 4.x) but will also support Qt 5.6, which brings some
+ advantages most notably for users with HiDPI displays. Note that if you
+ compile LyX with a Qt 5 release before 5.6 you are likely to run into
+ several regressions with respect to Qt 4.x. See #9215 for a list of bugs
+ related to compiling LyX with different versions of Qt.
* LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
* 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

compile with error. However, because now in 2.2.x users can click on
the "Show Output Anyway" button, the document can still be viewed.
+* Missing characters in the output are now reported as errors. This leads
+ to error reports for documents that compiled without error before.
+ However, the error was always present but went undetected!
+
+* Documents using Times fonts and containing Greek characters may now fail
+ to compile under pdflatex for users of MikTeX due to an automatically
+ half-installed "grtimes" package. A workaround in LyX was removed as it
+ stands in the way of alternative approaches (see bug #6469).
+
+* With LuaTeX, LyX now uses polyglossia instead of babel if the language
+ package option "Automatic" is selected. In order to use babel, select
+ "Always babel" instead. This may be needed if a document uses code that
+ is specific to babel.
