+!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.
+- It is now possible to cancel background export processes. A menu entry
+ to do so will appear on the Document menu when such a process is underway.
+ The LFUN for this is export-cancel.

+* \font_encoding
+ The font encoding is now automatically set depending on the document
+ fonts and languages.
+
+* \use_qimage
+ This is no longer necessary due to the rewrite of the painter.
+
+* \date_insert_format
+ The function date-insert has been removed and superseded by info-insert date.
+ The latter does not need a pref value anymore.
-!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.2:
+!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.4:
+* export-cancel: Used to cancel background export processes.
-!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.2:

+* set-graphics-group was renamed to graphics-set-group.
-!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.2:
+* info-insert buffer vcs-*: renamed to info-insert vcs *
-* \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.
+!!!The following LyX functions have been removed in 2.4:
-!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.2:
+* date-insert: obsoleted by info-insert date.
-* buffer-view-cache:

-* buffer-move-next:

+!!!The following new folders have been added to the LyX directory

- {next, previous} tab, Control + Shift + {PgDn, PgUp} moves the current
- tab to the {next, previous} tab.

-!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2:
+!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.4:
-!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2:
+!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.4:
+* The Qt5 libraries are now used by default. In order to link against
+ Qt4 the configure option --disable-qt5 has to be used.
-!!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 now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
+!!Known issues in version 2.4.0
+* See http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
-!!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.
+!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.4.x
+* Autotools monolithic build option for building LyX binaries was removed,
+ for compilation speedup use parallel building on multiple cores instead.
-!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.2.x
+!! If upgrading from a LyX version before 2.3.0
-* 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.
+* Please additionally see the release notes from the versions in-between:
+ https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes
+* Several ttf fonts (esint10.ttf, stmary10.ttf, wasy10.ttf) were changed
+ to reflect the fact that newer Qt libraries do not support displaying certain
+ codepoints anymore (bug #8493, #10161).
+ Distribution packagers need to repack those font files in case they are
+ delivering the fonts as a separated package dependent from core LyX.
