-This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 1.5.0 and
-also some known problems in LyX 1.5.0 that did not occur in
-1.4.5. Note that fixes are available for many of these, but they have
-not yet been applied because of incomplete testing.
+This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.0.0, some 
+known problems in LyX 2.0.0 and some things you have to take into account

 Interface changes
 -----------------
 
-Some of the LyX functions have changed names :
+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
 
-Known issues with version 1.5.0
-------------------------------------
+- \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore)
+- \spell_command and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been removed)
+- \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format
 
-- User layout files must be converted to UTF-8
 
-In previous version, layout styles were allowed to use non-ASCII names
-using the local encodings. LyX-1.5 now assumes that all layout files are
-UTF-8 encoded. This means that non-ASCII style names are still allowed
-but they nust be valid UTF-8 strings. One way of doing the conversion
-is to use iconv. Using bash, the script below should work:
-
-cd /path/to/layouts
-for l in *
-do
-  cp $l tmp.txt
-  iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 tmp.txt -o $l
-done
-rm tmp.txt
+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_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline").
+
+- LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave").
+
+
+The following LyX functions have been removed:
+
+- LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" 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.

+  http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/27531
+
