+!Important Changes in LyX 2.4.0
!!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 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.

- This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of
- the then-new right-to-left languages support. It is no longer needed

+* \use_qimage
+ This is no longer necessary due to the rewrite of the painter.

-!!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.
+!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.4:
-* LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
-!!Known issues in version 2.2.0
+!!Known issues in version 2.4.0
-* 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.
+* See http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
-!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.2.x
+!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.4.x
-* BibTeX errors are now processed and cause LyX to show the errors dialog.
- Before, these errors were ignored, which means that it may happen that
- documents that compiled without error with a previous version now
- 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.
