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: -The following variables are obsoleted in 2.0 +-export-to (-E ) -- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore) + Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened + to the specified destination file and format . + For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run: + lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx + See the manual page for details. + This functionality is also available via a new menu voice + Export->Export As..., that pops up a dialog allowing one to + choose the export format, as well as the destination pathname. + Also, it is available via the mini-buffer (or the -x switch) + through a proper new LFUN (see below). -- \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 pref variables were changed in 2.0: +The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0: 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_BUFFER_EXPORT_AS + Equivalent to the new -export-to command-line switch (see above). -- 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"). +//template, remove this entry later on +- LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync").

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. -Known issues in version 2.0.0 ------------------------------ +The following LyX key bindings have been changed: +//template, remove this entry later on +- LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold") + The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore". -Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x -------------------------------------------------------- +New external programs and libraries: +------------------------------------ + +LyX 2.0 introduces support for some new external helper programs/libraries, +while the support for some existing programs has been dropped.
