Interface changes ----------------- -Some of the LyX functions have changed names: +There have been some changes to the LyX command line.

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. -- A new LFUN_SPECIALCHAR_INSERT has been implemented that obsoletes the - different LFUNs for single special characters: +The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0 - * LFUN_HYPHENATION_POINT_INSERT: removed.

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.
