-Known issues with version 1.5.0beta2
---------------------------------
+This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.0.0, some 
+known problems in LyX 2.0.0 and some things you have to take into account
+when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.0.x series.
+Note that fixes are available for some of these, but they have not yet
+been applied because of incomplete testing.
 
-This file describes some known problems in LyX 1.5.0beta2 that did not
-occur in 1.4.4. Note that fixes are available for many of these, but
-they have not yet been applied because of incomplete testing.
 
+Interface changes
+-----------------
+
+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). At present, not many commands can be used this way, but there will
+be more eventually.
+
+The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0
+
+- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore)
+
+- \personal_dictionary, \spell_command, \use_input_encoding,
+  \use_personal_dictionary and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been
+  removed)
+
+- \spellchecker_use_alt_lang and \use_escape_chars (actually not used
+  by the UI, and it is as simple to check whether the relevant
+  variable is empty)
+
+- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format
+
+
+The following new LyX functions have been introduced:
+
+- LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv").
+
+- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode").
+
+- LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end"").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select").
+
+- LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select").
+
+- LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous").
+
+- LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference").
+
+- LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave").
+
+- LFUN_OUTLINE_DRAGMOVE ("outline-dragmove").
+
+- LFUN_BRANCHES_RENAME ("branches-rename").
+
+- LFUN_BRANCH_ADD_INSERT ("branch-add-insert").
+
+- LFUN_BUFFER_CLOSE_ALL ("buffer-close-all").
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been removed:
+
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
+
+- LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead.
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been changed:
+
+- LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used 
+  to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
+  inset-settings for this purpose.
+ 
+- LFUN_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings
+  arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word
+  at current cursor position, even if it is not selected.

+
+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).
