!!Documents compilation process and images conversion
-* LyX now uses utf8 encoding per default for all languages. This does not affect
- existing documents. Note that LyX also does not touch personal defaults and templates.
- That is to say, if you still see traditional encoding preset for new documents,
- you can change that by selecting "Unicode (utf8) [default]" and hitting "Save
- as Documents Defaults" afterwards. Your personal templates need to be changed manually
- if desired.
