Now right-to-left support is always enabled. - - -The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.2: - -- buffer-view-cache - Opens the last previewed output of the buffer, if it exists. - - -The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.2: - - - -The following LyX key bindings have been changed in 2.2: - - - -The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2: - - - -The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2: - - - -Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2: --------------------------------------------------------- - -- LyX is not yet supposed to work with Qt5. It is advised to compile and - run LyX against Qt 4.8.x. On Windows, Qt 4.8.5 suffers from a bug that - breaks the use of shortcuts, so on Windows Qt 4.8.4 is advised. - -- LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error. - - -Known issues in version 2.2.0 ------------------------------ - -- 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 2.2.x -------------------------------------------------------- - -- BibTeX errors are now processed and cause LyX to show the errors dialog. - Before, these errors were ignored, which means that it may happen that - documents that compiled without error with a previous version now - compile with error. However, because now in 2.2.x users can click on - the "Show Output Anyway" button, the document can still be viewed. +The RELEASE-NOTES can be found in lib/RELEASE-NOTES.
