-Known issues with version 1.4.0
---------------------------------
+This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 1.6.0, some 
+known problems in LyX 1.6.0 and some things you have to take into account
+when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 1.6.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 1.4.0 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
+Interface changes
+-----------------
 
-- exiting a math formula with the keyboard.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2217
+Some of the LyX functions have changed names :
 
-- creating/deleting paragraphs.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2287    
 
-** Change tracking
+Known issues in version 1.5.2
+------------------------------------
 
-- Breaking a paragraph is not supported.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880
+- LyX might crash if you switch the encoding of a document while the
+  View->Source pane is opened.
+  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3561
 
-- 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
+- LyX might suddenly slow down when you have copied something in another
+  instance of LyX or in another application. Known workaround: Ctrl+C of
+  some text inside the active window bring the speed back.
+  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4045
 
-- First change is skipped is "Merges changes..." dialog.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2212
+- Cursor restoration problems with Multiple-View:
+  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.
 
-** User Interface
+- RTL and keymaps:
+  Currently there is a bug where you can't use two non-RTL language keymaps if
+  the RTL preference is set (which is now the default). 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. If you 
+  have any input on this issue, please chime in on the developers mailing list,
+  or add your comments to http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4051.
 
-- 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 word is skipped when spell checking.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2218
+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.5.x
+-------------------------------------------------------
 
-- Font changes do not apply to tables inside the selection when
-  making latex.
-  http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1973
+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.
