-Known issues with version 1.5.0beta1
---------------------------------
+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.

+Known issues in version 1.5.2
+------------------------------------
+
+- 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
+
+- 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
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+
+Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.5.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
