Interface changes ----------------- -Some of the LyX functions have changed names: +There have been some changes to the LyX command line. 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).

If you need to use two - non-RTL keymaps, for now you should just turn off the RTL preference (Tools -> - Preferences... -> Language settings -> Language, uncheck "Right-to-left - language support"). - We hope to offer more comprehensive support for multiple keymaps in the future, - which will solve this bug, as well as allow more than just two keymaps.

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 ------------------------------------------------------- -Due to the change to Unicode, there are some general things you'll have to take care -about when upgrading from an older version to LyX 1.5.0 or newer. Please refer to the -file UPGRADING for details. + 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 + +- some summary about 3rd party programs additions/removals should be + written for packagers (eg aiksauraus, libtool). +
