-How do I upgrade my existing LyX system to version 1.1.6?
+How do I upgrade my existing LyX system to version 1.2.x?
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 
-If you upgrade from version 0.12.0 or 1.0.x, you shouldn't have 
-any problems.  However, in the source we have begun a transition
-to use ANSI C++ more and this can make it hard or impossible to
-compile LyX on old or non-conformant compilers. If the compile is
-successfull everything should be just like in 1.0.4. Just run
-"make install", and it will automatically update the necessary
-files, provided that you install LyX the same place as
-an existing version.
+If you upgrade from version 1.1.6 or 1.1.5, you shouldn't have any
+problems. It is nevertheless a good idea to advise all users to run
+Edit>Reconfigure.
+
+If you have your own layout files, you may need to update them a little:
+
+- all layout files should have a "DefaultStyle" entry
+
+- the "Latex" font style does not exist anymore. If you really need
+  its functionality, consider using the "PassThru" keyword instead.
+
+The new layout format keywords are described in the Customization
+manual.
 
 Document transfer
 -----------------
 
 In general, you don't need to convert any documents saved with LyX
-v0.10, v0.12.0 or v1.0.x to use them with LyX v1.1.6.
+1.1.5 or 1.1.6 to use them with LyX 1.2.0.
+
+LyX 1.2.0 can read all documents saved with lyx 1.1.6 correctly.
+However, older LyX versions will almost certainly fail to read files
+produced by LyX 1.2.0.
 
-LyX v1.1.6 can read all documents saved with lyx-0.12.0 and later correctly.
-Documents saved with lyx-0.10.x are read correctly up to the old math 
-mode, which is not supported anymore. If you have documents with such 
-math formulas, you convert it using the program COLD, written by Preben 
-Rhandol. COLD can be found at:
+Note that the babel package is now loaded after the user-defined
+preamble (because some packages really need to be loaded before
+babel). If you relied, on babel being loaded before your own
+definitions, you can add an extra "\usepackage{babel}" statement at
+the beginning of your preamble.

-Documents saved with LyX version 1.1.6 can be read correctly by 
-LyX v0.12.0 and v1.0.x, except for new and a couple of changed features.
