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 -------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at - http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes - +The RELEASE-NOTES can be found in lib/RELEASE-NOTES.
