encoding is set to "utf8-plain" or "ascii".

Having sgmltools installed or not will not change anything in LyX.

!!!The following pref variables were changed in 2.4:
!!!The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.4:
-* bidi is a helper function to implement icons that are different between LTR and RTL text.
-
* buffer-reset-export advises LyX to remove the auxiliary files before doing the next
export.
ignore the inserted file's main language (and rather adapt it to the insertion
context's language).
+* tabular-feature: added toggle parameters "toggle-all-lines", "toggle-border-lines"
+ and "toggle-inner-lines"
+
+* branch-sync-all: Open/close all insets of selected branch (depending on its activation status).

!!!The following LyX functions have been removed in 2.4:
* The examples and templates directories have been completely re-organized.
They are now much more structured (by means of layout categories) and thus

(or xsltproc) you can use configure parameter --without-saxon to avoid

+* bash_completion script was updated for a newer syntax.

!!Known issues in version 2.4.0
!!Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.4.x
+* LyX now uses the parskip package for vertical paragraph separation. Since the
+ output differs from the previous (sub-optimal) approach which applied paragraph
+ separation to sections, lists etc. as well, existing documents
+ are converted to use preamble code that maintains the previous layout.
+ The downside is that the workarea looks as if paragraph indendation rather
+ than paragraph separation was used (output is correct). We encourage you
+ to try if the new layout suits you, remove the respective preamble code
+ and re-set the paragraph separation to use the new layout.

* Autotools monolithic build option for building LyX binaries was removed,
for compilation speedup use parallel building on multiple cores instead.
* 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
in order to display correctly math symbols like \oint.
