* 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.

+
+* 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:
+* \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
!!!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.
+* tabular-feature is reintroduced to allow more flexibility for user
+ commands, whereas "inset-modify tabular" is now reserved for the tabular
+ dialog. In particular, "inset-modify tabular" is no longer caught by math grid
+ insets. The name tabular-feature is kept to avoid renaming icons. For more
+ information, see #9794.
!!!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".
+* Functionality of "inset-modify tabular" has changed. See description of the
+ new LyX function "tabular-feature" above.
!!!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 4.8.6 or newer 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.
+
+* The Qt libraries must have support for the SVG graphic format, because
+ LyX now uses svg icons. If this support is lacking, icons cannot be shown.
+
+* If compiling LyX on Windows with Qt 5.6, it is recommended to use MSVC 2015
+ update 2 to avoid #9892.
* LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
!!Known issues in version 2.2.0
-* 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.
+* LyX needs Python 2.7 at runtime. The python 2 interpreter needs to be named
+ either 'python' or 'python2'.
+ Building LyX usually works with Python 3 as well, but there might be cases
+ where it does not work properly on systems where Python 3 is the default
+ binary. See #7030 to know how to fix this properly, since simple shebang
+ conversion in *.py files will not be enough.
+
+* If using LyX with Qt 4, it is possible to suddenly get keyboard keys wrong,
+ and deadlock. To work around the issue, you can disable IBus for LyX by
+ starting LyX as 'XMODIFIERS= lyx'. For further discussion and alternative
+ workarounds, see #9362.
+
+* LyX can produce LuaTeX output that is not compatible with the newest versions
+ of the engine (e.g. 0.95.0, the version in TeX Live 2016). In a later 2.2.x
+ version we plan to implement exporting of LuaTeX code that is compatible
+ with the LuaTeX versions shipped with both TeX Live 2015 and TeX Live 2016.

!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.2.x
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 #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.
+
+* As usual, when opening and saving a document that was created by a previous
+ major version of LyX (in this case 2.1.x), the file format is changed to
+ the new file format (in this case 2.2.x). What is different starting with
+ 2.2.0 is that when we save a file that was not originally in the current LyX
+ format, we create a backup of the original file. We put it in the backup
+ directory, if one exists, otherwise in the directory the original file is
+ in. This is the same strategy as for normal backups. This backup file can be
+ helpful in case a bug in lyx2lyx caused data loss. For more information, see
+ #9554.
