-* LyX now outputs en- and em-dashes as -- and --- ligatures when exporting to
- latex using TeX fonts, as done in version 2.1 and earlier. In version 2.2
- they were instead output as the macros \textendash and \textemdash, causing

- by don't allowing using dash ligatures in Document->Settings->Fonts.

!!Documents compilation process and images conversion
+* It is now possible to enable the -shell-escape option only for specific
+ documents, rather than having to enable it globally in preferences.
+ This is achieved by checking "Allow running external programs" in

+
* The converters definition syntax (LYX_HOME/lyxrc*) now supports a
new option, 'needauth', to prevent completely automated execution of
the converter, unless LyX acquired explicit consent by the
!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.3:
+* \default_platex_view_format
+ Determine the default output format for Japanese documents that use the
+ pLaTeX backend [default: "pdf3" == "PDF (dvipdfm)"]
+
+* \jbibtex_alternatives
+ Alternative bibliography converters for Japanese.
+
+* \pygmentize_command
+ holds the name of the driver command used by the Pygments python module.
+
* \use_converter_needauth
- when enabled, user is asked before calling any external converter with the
- 'needauth' option
+ when enabled, user is asked before calling any (possibly dangerous)
+ external converter with the 'needauth' option

!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.3:
+* \bibtex_command
+ New (default) value "auto".
-!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.3:
+* \screen_zoom
+ This is now independent of the value set via buffer-zoom[-in|-out].
!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.3:
+* buffer-external-modification-clear
+ Clear the external modification flag on the current buffer
+
+* buffer-zoom
+ Zooms the screen fonts to a given value or resets to the default zoom
+ when no argument is given.
+
* branch-invert
Toggles inversion status of branch inset.
+* devel-mode-toggle
+ Activate/deactivate the developer mode, which consists mainly in:
+ (1) more information shown in the status bar and (2) help file
+ opened in editable mode. This state used to be hardcoded at compile
+ time.
+
+* font-crossout
+ Cross out characters.
+
+* icon-size [size in px]
+ Set the icon size in the toolbar
+
* lyx-activate
Activates the LyX window. Useful in combination with reverse search.
+* toolbar-movable
+ Toggles movability of a given toolbar.
+
!!!The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.3:
-* quote-insert
- The function now has a second and third optional argument to specify
- the side (left, right, auto) and quotation mark style (english, swedish,
- german, polish, french, danish).
+* buffer-export
+ If no or "default" argument is given, the function now exports to the default
+ output format.
+
+* buffer-zoom-in, buffer-zoom-out
+ The Zoom value set by these is now relative to the default zoom value set in
+ preferences.
* inset-modify
This function now also applies to quote insets. It takes a three-character
- string as an argument, refering (1.) to the style (e = ``english'',
+ string as an argument, referring (1.) to the style (e = ``english'',
s = ''swedish'', g = ,,german``, p = ,,polish'', f = <<french>>, a = >>danish<<),
(2.) to the side (l = left, r = right) and (3.) to the quotation level
(s = single, d = double). So "eld" means "English left double quotation mark".
"inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype g.s"
=> change all quote insets to German single quotes, keeping left/right setting
+* paragraph-goto
+ The function has now two further optional arguments that determine end positions.
+ If specified, a selection is performed.
+
+* quote-insert
+ The function now has a second and third optional argument to specify
+ the side (left, right, auto) and quotation mark style (english, swedish,
+ german, polish, french, danish).
+
+* specialchar-insert
+ New option allowbreak that adds an invisible line break option,
+
* word-delete-forward, word-delete-backward, char-delete-forward,
char-delete-backward
The pre-2.3 behavior of these functions is equivalent to the 2.3 behavior with
to select big insets on the first call and delete them only on the second.
This new behavior is consistent with how delete works in LyX's math editor.
-!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.3:
-
!!!The following new folders have been added to the LyX directory
files that are now shipped as content of the xtemplates directory.

!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.3.x
the external_templates file, you will have to move the modifications to
the respective *.xtemplate file manually.
+* If you used literal em- and en-dashes in pre-2.2 documents,
+ you must manually unselect
+ "Document->Settings->Fonts->Output em- and en-dash as ligatures"
+ to ensure unchanged behaviour.
+
+* ZWSP characters (u200b) following literal em- and en-dashes are deleted by
+ lyx2lyx when converting to 2.3 format. If you used them as optional line
+ breaks after dashes, convert them to space insets before opening your
+ document with LyX 2.3 or the optional line breaks will be lost!
+
* If using TeX fonts and en- and em-dashes are output as font ligatures,
when exporting documents containing en- and em-dashes to the format of
LyX 2.0 or earlier, the following line has to be manually added to the
