 !!!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
