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". When LyX is +configured, this variant is used. In case you have problems with BibTeX-files +that include Japanese or you need to use another BibTeX program, set it in LyX +preferences under Output->LaTeX->BibTeX command. + + +Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at + http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes
