-Known issues with version 1.4.0
---------------------------------
+This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.0.0, some 
+known problems in LyX 2.0.0 and some things you have to take into account
+when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.0.x series.
+Note that fixes are available for some of these, but they have not yet
+been applied because of incomplete testing.
 
-This file describes some known problems in LyX 1.4.0 that did not
-occur in 1.3.7. Note that fixes are available for many of these, but
-they have not yet been applied because of incomplete testing. 
 
-** Noticeable delays when editing a large document
+Interface changes
+-----------------
 
-- exiting a math formula with the keyboard.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2217
+There have been some changes to the LyX command line. There is a new option 
+"--batch" that causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI 
+window. Thus, something like:
+    lyx --batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx
+will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and 
+the default print settings (which, of course, have to have been configured 
+already). At present, not many commands can be used this way, but there will
+be more eventually.
 
-- creating/deleting paragraphs.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2287    
+The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0
 
-** Change tracking
+- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore)
+- \spell_command and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been removed)
+- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format
 
-- Breaking a paragraph is not supported.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880
 
-- Delete key does not move the cursor to the next character.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2185
-  
-- Pasted text inserted wrong after switch of change tracking state.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2207
+The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
+
+- LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv").
+
+- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode").
+
+The following LyX functions have been removed:
+
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
 
-- First change is skipped is "Merges changes..." dialog.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2212
+The following LyX functions have been changed:
 
-** User Interface
+- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used 
+  to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
+  inset-settings for this purpose.
 
-- Shift-PageDown and Shift-PageUp key combinations work only if there
-  is an already active selection.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2119
+Known issues in version 2.0.0

-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2218
 
-- Font changes do not apply to tables inside the selection when
-  making latex.

+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x
