Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.6.x ------------------------------------------------------- -The support for Japanese has been improved in LyX 1.6.x. Due to encoding -reasons, Japanese documents that were edited with LyX 1.6.x cannot correctly -be converted to the format of LyX 1.5.x and thus not edited with LyX 1.5.x. -To be able to use LyX 1.6 with Japanese, the latest version of the LaTeX -distribution "platex" must be installed. -platex provides a Japanese variant of BibTeX named "jbibtex".
