+!Important Change in LyX 2.3.1
+
+* A change to how math macros are output can break some documents that use
+ ERT to comment out macros. Please see bug #11216 if you experience this
+ sort of problem.

!Important Changes in LyX 2.3.0
if needed, as usual.
* The new setting
- "Document->Settings->Fonts->Output em- and en-dash as ligatures" forces
- output of en- and em-dashes as -- and --- when exporting to LaTeX.
- It is is "true" by default but "false" when opening documents edited
- with LyX 2.2.
- See chapter 3.9.1.1 "Dashes and line breaks" of the User Guide and
+ "Document->Settings->Fonts->Disallow line breaks after dashes"
+ turns off the conversion of em- and en-dash characters to --- and --
+ respectively for LaTeX export. It is is "false" by default.
+ See chapter 3.9.1.1 "Dashes and Line Breaks" of the User Guide and
"Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.3.x" below.
-* The following UI translations were dropped, because the lack of translation
- maintenance: Russian, Danish, Greek, Serbian, Galician, Catalan, Romanian,
- Dutch.
+* The preference "Tools->Preferences->Look&Feel->Screen Fonts->Use
+ pixmap cache to speed up font rendering" is not available anymore.
+ It was of dubious value and led to rendering issues.
+
+* The following UI translations were dropped, because of the lack of translation
+ maintenance: Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Galician, Romanian, Serbian.
!!Documents compilation process and images conversion
* \screen_zoom
This is now independent of the value set via buffer-zoom[-in|-out].
+* \use_pixmap_cache
+ The value of this variable is now ignored.
!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.3:
opened in editable mode. This state used to be hardcoded at compile
time.
+* buffer-anonymize (2.3.2)
+ Replace all text n the document by streams of `a'. This is useful
+ for sharing private documents in a bug report.
+
* font-crossout
Cross out characters.
The Zoom value set by these is now relative to the default zoom value set in
preferences.
+* environment-split
+ The new arguments "before" and "previous" can be used for finer control on
+ where/how the new environment is created.
+
* inset-modify
This function now also applies to quote insets. It takes a three-character
string as an argument, referring (1.) to the style (e = ``english'',
"inset-forall Quotes inset-modify changetype g.s"
=> change all quote insets to German single quotes, keeping left/right setting
+* layout
+ The new argument "ignorenests" can be used to ignore nesting advice contained
+ in the layout tag "AutoNests".
+
+* paragraph-break
+ The new argument "ignoresep" can be used to break without accounting for
+ separators.
+
* paragraph-goto
The function has now two further optional arguments that determine end positions.
If specified, a selection is performed.
!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.3:
+* LyX now supports only macOS 10.9 and higher (due to using Qt 5.9).
+
* Inkscape SVG with separate LaTeX + PDF or PS output is supported via External
Material.

!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.3.x
the external_templates file, you will have to move the modifications to
the respective *.xtemplate file manually.
-* If you used literal em- and en-dashes in pre-2.2 documents,
- you must manually unselect
- "Document->Settings->Fonts->Output em- and en-dash as ligatures"
- to ensure unchanged behaviour.
-
-* ZWSP characters (u200b) following literal em- and en-dashes are deleted by
- lyx2lyx when converting to 2.3 format. If you used them as optional line
- breaks after dashes, convert them to space insets before opening your
- document with LyX 2.3 or the optional line breaks will be lost!
-
-* 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.
+* By default, LyX 2.3 outputs en- and em-dashes as -- and --- respectively,
+ so that a line break can occur in the output immediately after the dash.
+ Sometimes, this results in undesired line breaks or overfull lines due to
+ suppression of hyphenation in the word preceding the dash.
+ Select "Document->Settings->Fonts->Disallow line breaks after dashes"
+ to keep the LyX 2.2 behaviour.
+ See chapter 3.9.1.1, "Dashes and Line Breaks", of the User Guide
+ for details.
* If trying to compile documents using R scripts and sweave/knitr, LyX
2.3.x would not allow for re-running the R scripts, unless the user:
