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. +There have been some changes to the LyX command line. The following new +options have been added: -A bash completion script was added to the tarball. +-export-to (-E ) -We have introduced a new flag to decide whether or not a given "document" -format shall be listed in the File > Export menu.
