If you need to use two - non-RTL keymaps, for now you should just turn off the RTL preference (Tools -> - Preferences... -> Language settings -> Language, uncheck "Right-to-left - language support"). - We hope to offer more comprehensive support for multiple keymaps in the future, - which will solve this bug, as well as allow more than just two keymaps. If you - have any input on this issue, please chime in on the developers mailing list, - or add your comments to http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4051. +- -Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.5.x -------------------------------------------------------- +Known issues in version 2.1.0 +----------------------------- -Due to the change to Unicode, there are some general things you'll have to take care -about when upgrading from an older version to LyX 1.5.0 or newer. Please refer to the -file UPGRADING for details. +- 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. - -Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at - http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes +Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.1.x +-------------------------------------------------------
