Interface changes ----------------- -Some lyxrc variables have been removed: +There have been some changes to the LyX command line. There is a new option +"--batch" that causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI +window. Thus, something like: + lyx -batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx +will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and +the default print settings (which, of course, have to have been configured +already). At present, not many commands can be used this way, but there will +be more eventually. -- \plaintext_roff_command was not used anymore, it is now removed. +A bash completion script was added to the tarball. +We have introduced a new flag to decide whether or not a given "document" +format shall be listed in the File > Export menu. This was necessary since +this menu got too large. If the flag "menu=export" is not explicitly set, +the formats are not included in the menu. This means that you might need +to click "Show in export menu" in Preferences > File Formats for your +customized file formats if you want them to appear in the menu. +Note, though, that you still can export to any possible format via +File > Export > More Formats and Options ... + +The following pref variables were changed in 2.0: + +- \language_package was renamed to \language_custom_package + +- \language_use_babel (bool) has been replaced by + \language_package_selection, which can be + 0 (automatic selection) + 1 (always use babel) + 2 custom (use the custom package defined by + \language_custom_package) + 3 none (equivalent to former \language_use_babel false) + +The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0: + +- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore) + +- \personal_dictionary, \spell_command, \use_input_encoding, + \use_personal_dictionary and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been + removed) + +- \spellchecker_use_alt_lang and \use_escape_chars (actually not used + by the UI, and it is as simple to check whether the relevant + variable is empty) + +- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format + + +The following new LyX functions have been introduced: + +- LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv"). +- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode"). +- LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert"). +- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin"). +- LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end""). +- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select"). +- LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select"). +- LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous"). +- LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference"). +- LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select"). +- LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline"). +- LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout"). +- LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline"). +- LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave"). +- LFUN_BRANCHES_RENAME ("branches-rename"). +- LFUN_BRANCH_ADD_INSERT ("branch-add-insert"). +- LFUN_BUFFER_CLOSE_ALL ("buffer-close-all"). +- LFUN_INSET_FORALL ("inset-forall"). +- LFUN_DEBUG_LEVEL_SET ("debug-level-set"). +- LFUN_INSET_SELECT_ALL ("inset-select-all"). +- LFUN_MATH_AMS_MATRIX ("math-ams-matrix"). +- LFUN_VC_COMPARE ("vc-compare"). +- LFUN_SPELLING_ADD ("spelling-add"). +- LFUN_SPELLING_IGNORE ("spelling-ignore"). +- LFUN_SPELLING_REMOVE ("spelling-remove"). +- LFUN_PREVIEW_INSERT ("preview-insert"). +- LFUN_FORWARD_SEARCH ("forward-search"). +- LFUN_INSET_COPY_AS ("inset-copy-as"). +- LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync"). + + +The following LyX functions have been removed: + +- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead. +- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY ("next-inset-modify"): use "inset-modify" instead. +- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead. + +- LFUN_NOTES_MUTATE ("notes-mutate"): replace + notes-mutate + with the more general function inset-forall + inset-forall Note: inset-modify note Note + +- LFUN_ALL_INSETS_TOGGLE ("all-insets-toggle"): replace + all-insets-toggle + all-insets-toggle + with the more generic function inset-forall + inset-forall inset-toggle + inset-forall * inset-toggle + There is a difference in the parameter, which is would be + like "note" in the first case and "Note" in the second. + +- LFUN_TABULAR_FEATURE ("tabular-feature"): use "inset-modify" instead. + I.e., "tabular-feature FEATURE " becomes: + inset-modify tabular FEATURE + +- LFUN_LINE_INSERT ("line-insert"): use "inset-insert line" instead.
