-This file describes some known problems in LyX 1.4.0 that did not
-occur in 1.3.7. Note that fixes are available for many of these, but
-they have not yet been applied because of incomplete testing. 
 
-** Noticeable delays when editing a large document

-** Change tracking
+Known issues with version 1.5.0
+------------------------------------
 
-- Breaking a paragraph is not supported.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880
+- User layout files must be converted to UTF-8
 
-- Delete key does not move the cursor to the next character.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2185
-  
-- Pasted text inserted wrong after switch of change tracking state.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2207
+In previous version, layout styles were allowed to use non-ASCII names
+using the local encodings. LyX-1.5 now assumes that all layout files are
+UTF-8 encoded. This means that non-ASCII style names are still allowed
+but they nust be valid UTF-8 strings. One way of doing the conversion
+is to use iconv. Using bash, the script below should work:
+
+cd /path/to/layouts
+for l in *
+do
+  cp $l tmp.txt
+  iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 tmp.txt -o $l
+done
+rm tmp.txt
 
-- First change is skipped is "Merges changes..." dialog.

+- Cursor restoration problems with Multiple-View
 
-** User Interface
+When using multiple Windows to edit different parts of the
+same document, the cursor position is sometimes not correctly restored
+when you switch from one view to the other.
 
-- Shift-PageDown and Shift-PageUp key combinations work only if there
-  is an already active selection.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2119
 
-- First incorrect word is skipped when spell checking.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2218
+Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at
+	http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes

-  making latex.
