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. - -Bash completion script was added to the tarball. - -The following 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_PREVIEW_INSERT ("preview-insert"). - -- LFUN_FORWARD_SEARCH ("forward-search"). - -- LFUN_INSET_COPY_AS ("inset-copy-as"). - - -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. - - -The following LyX functions have been changed: - -- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used - to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use - inset-settings for this purpose. - -- LFUN_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings - arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word - at current cursor position, even if it is not selected. - - -New external programs and libaries: ------------------------------------ - -LyX 2.0 introduces support for some new external helper programs/libraries, -while the support for some existing programs has been dropped. This -particularly applies to spell checking and the thesaurus. - -1.) SPELLCHECKING: - -* Direct support for ispell and hspell has been dropped. However, ispell - and hspell are still accessible via the enchant wrapper (see below). - -* Support for the aspell command line program has been dropped. Note that - the aspell library (aspell 0.60.x) is still supported. - -* Next to aspell (library), LyX now also supports hunspell (the spell - checker used by OpenOffice and Firefox) and enchant, a wrapper that - provides automatic access to many spell checking libraries (ispell, - aspell, hspell, hunspell, etc.). - -LyX 2.0 is configured for any and multiple of these three possibilities, -given that they are installed on the machine where LyX is configured on. -The actual spell checker can be selected in Tools > Preferences. -Packagers are advised to pre-select whatever is most common on their -platform/distribution. - -2.) THESAURUS: - -* Support for the aiksaurus library has been dropped in favour of the - MyThes thesaurus library (the thesaurus library used by OpenOffice). - -* LyX ships the MyThes library itself, so contrary to LyX 1.6.x, no - extra thesaurus library needs to be installed. However, LyX does not - ship any thesaurus dictionary. - -* The OpenOffice thesaurus dictionaries can be used, but the path to those - dictionary needs to be set in Tools > Preferences. Please refer to the - UserGuide, sec. 6.13, for further instructions. - -Packagers are advised to preset the thesaurus for their distribution/ -platform. Packagers of installation bundles (on Windows and the Mac) -are advised to provide automatic installation of thesaurus disctionaries -in the installation process (analoguous to the spellchecker installation). - - -Known issues in version 2.0.0 ------------------------------ - - -Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x -------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at - http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes - -TODO ----- -- Somebody should create a rc2rc script... - http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/27531 +The RELEASE-NOTES can be found in lib/RELEASE-NOTES.
