!!Interface changes
+* LyX now has "inverted" branch insets, which output their contents just in
+ case a given branch is not "activated". This makes inclusion of alternate
+ material in different versions easier.
+
+* When inserting a command or symbol in mathed, it is now automatically
+ wrapped in a real inset (either \text or \ensuremath) assuring the correct
+ mode, instead of being wrapped only in the output. The wrapping inset can
+ be safely dissolved, as it will be automatically inserted at export time
+ if needed, as usual.
+
+* 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
+ changed output with old documents and bugs. The 2.2 behavior can be restored
+ by don't allowing using dash ligatures in Document->Settings->Fonts.
+
!!!The following pref variables were added in 2.3:
!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.3:
+* \document_path
+ Default is changed to ".". The best guess for where the user wants to save
+ or find files is the directory the user started LyX from. Before, the
+ default was always the home directory. If desired, the old behavior can be
+ restored by changing the default path in Preferences > "Working directory".
+
!!!The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.3:
!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.3:
+* branch-invert
+ Toggles inversion status of branch inset.
+
+* lyx-activate
+ Activates the LyX window. Useful in combination with reverse search.
+
!!!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).
+
+* 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'',
+ 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".
+ A dot in the string means: take the current value. So "inset-modify changetype e.."
+ will only change the style to English, while letting side and level as is,
+ "inset-modify changetype f.s" will change the style to French and the level to
+ single, leaving the side value.
+
+ This function is most useful when combined with inset-forall. E.g.,
+ "inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype f.."
+ => change all quote insets to French style, maintaining current side and level
+ "inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype ..s"
+ => change all quote insets to single quotes, keeping style and level
+ "inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype g.s"
+ => change all quote insets to German single quotes, keeping left/right setting
+
!!!The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.3:
+!!!The following new folders have been added to the LyX directory
+
+* citeengines: Contains the *.citeengine files that determine the citation
+ formatting and features.
+
+* xtemplates: Contains the *.xtemplate files that define the external templates
+ (previously in the external_templates file).
+
+
+!!!The following preferences files have been removed from the tarball in 2.3:
+
+* external_templates. This files has been split into multiple *.xtemplate
+ files that are now shipped as content of the xtemplates directory.
+
+
!!!The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.3:
!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.3:
+* Inkscape SVG with separate LaTeX + PDF output is experimentally supported.
+
+* Add some editor/viewer applications to (re)configure checks.
+
!!Known issues in version 2.3.0
!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.3.x
+* The external_templates file has been split into one file per template,
+ which are now located in lib/xtemplates/*.xtemplate. This makes it easier
+ to add new templates or modify existing ones. If you have modified
+ the external_templates file, you will have to move the modifications to
+ the respective *.xtemplate file manually.
+
+* 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
+ unicodesymbols file of that LyX version:<br>
+ 0x200b "\\hspace{0pt}" "" "" "" "" # ZERO WIDTH SPACE<br>
+ This avoids "uncodable character" issues if the document is actually
+ loaded by that LyX version. LyX 2.1 and later versions already have the
+ necessary definition in their unicodesymbols file.
