+The external template format recognize now a new tag: 'Preview'. This tag is
+used to define how an external material should be previewed in LyX. For more

+LyX 1.6.0 introduces support for the pLaTeX distribution which provides extended
+language and script support for Japanese. The language "Japanese" now uses this
+new method. Japanese support via the CJK package is still available, but has been
+renamed to "Japanese (CJK)". Old documents continue to use the CJK method.
+Also cf. the "known issues" section for some remaining problems.

 Known issues in version 1.6.0
 ------------------------------------

+- New pLaTeX support for Japanese:
+  * Documents using this method can be backported to 1.5 in pricipal, but
+    the backported documents are not guaranteed to work, since 1.5 falls
+    back to the CJK package; expect the output to differ.
+  * pLaTeX provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex", which will
+    be selected automatically by LyX. If you run into problems with this or 
+    if you need to use an alternative BibTeX program, you can change this
+    setting in the LyX preferences (Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command).
 
 
 Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.6.x
 -------------------------------------------------------
 
-The support for Japanese has been improved in LyX 1.6.x. 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.
