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) +The following pref variables were added in 2.2: -- \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 2.2: -The following new LyX functions have been introduced: -- LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv"). +The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.2: -- LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode"). +- \\rtl + This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of + the then-new right-to-left languages support. It is no longer needed + because of improvements. Now right-to-left support is always enabled. -- LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert"). -- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin"). +The following new LyX functions have been introduced in 2.2: -- LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end""). -- LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select"). -- LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select"). +The following LyX functions have been changed in 2.2: -- LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous"). -- LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference"). -- LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select"). +The following LyX key bindings have been changed in 2.2: -- LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline"). +- "C-a" is now bound to "inset-select-all" and "C-M-a" is now + bound to the old function (a command-sequence to select the + entire buffer). -- LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout"). -- LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline"). +The following LyX documents have been moved in 2.2: -- LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave"). -- LFUN_OUTLINE_DRAGMOVE ("outline-dragmove"). -- LFUN_BRANCHES_RENAME ("branches-rename"). +The following metadata files have been added to the tarball in 2.2: -- LFUN_BRANCH_ADD_INSERT ("branch-add-insert"). -- LFUN_BUFFER_CLOSE_ALL ("buffer-close-all"). +Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2: +-------------------------------------------------------- -The following LyX functions have been removed: -- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead. +- LyX is not yet supposed to work with Qt5. It is advised to compile and + run LyX against Qt 4.8.x. On Windows, Qt 4.8.5 suffers from a bug that + breaks the use of shortcuts, so on Windows Qt 4.8.4 is advised. -- 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. - -Known issues in version 2.0.0 +Known issues in version 2.2.0 ----------------------------- - -Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 2.0.x -------------------------------------------------------- +- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems + where Python 3 is the default binary.
