-This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 1.5.0 and

-1.4.4. Note that fixes are available for many of these, but they have
-not yet been applied because of incomplete testing.
+This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.1.0, some 
+known problems in LyX 2.1.0 and some things you have to take into account

 Interface changes
 -----------------
 
-Some of the LyX functions have changed names :
+There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new
+options have been added:
 
+-export-to <format> <dest>    (-E <format> <dest>)
 
-Known issues with version 1.5.0rc2
+  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).
+
+
+The following pref variables were changed in 2.0:
+
+The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0:
+
+- \\default_papersize
+
+The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
+
+- LFUN_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS <format> <filename>
+  Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above).
+
+- LFUN_CLIPBOARD_PASTE_SIMPLE ("clipboard-paste-simple")
+  Paste the clipboard contents as simple unformatted text.
+  This is also available through a new menu voice within the
+  [Edit]->[Paste Special...] sub-menu.
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been removed:
+
+//template, remove this entry later on
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been changed:
+
+//template, remove this entry later on
+- 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.
+ 
+
+The following LyX key bindings have been changed:
+
+//template, remove this entry later on
+- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold")
+  The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore".

+
+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.

+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.1.x
