 Interface changes
 -----------------
 
-Some lyxrc variables have been removed:
+There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
+options have been added:
 
-- \plaintext_roff_command was not used anymore, it is now removed.
+-export-to <format> <dest>    (-E <format> <dest>)
 
+  Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened
+  to the specified destination file <dest> and format <format>.
+  For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run:
+    lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx
+  See the manual page for details.
+  This functionality is also available via a new menu voice
+  Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to
+  choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname.
+  Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch)
+  through a proper new LFUN (see below).

+//template, remove this entry later on
+- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used

+Known issues in version 2.1.0
+-----------------------------
+
+- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
+  where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
+  this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not
+  be enough.
