Due to encoding -reasons, Japanese documents that were edited with LyX 1.6.x cannot correctly -be converted to the format of LyX 1.5.x and thus not edited with LyX 1.5.x. -To be able to use LyX 1.6 with Japanese, the latest version of the LaTeX -distribution "platex" must be installed. -platex provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex". When LyX is -configured, this variant is used. In case you have problems with BibTeX-files -that include Japanese or you need to use another BibTeX program, set it in LyX -preferences under Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command. +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. -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 +-------------------------------------------------------
