 * Upgrading from LyX 2.2.x:
 
-The format of preference and session files has changed. LyX 2.3.x is able to
-read old files but will save them in the new format.

-The format of layout files has changed but, as before, layout2layout.py will

 The external_templates file has been split into one file per template,
 which are now located in lib/xtemplates/*.xtemplate. This makes it easier
 to add new templates or modify existing ones. If you have modified
 the external_templates file, you will have to move the modifications to
 the respective *.xtemplate file manually.
 
-If using TeX fonts and en- and em-dashes are output as font ligatures,
-when exporting documents containing en- and em-dashes to the format of
-LyX 2.0 or earlier, the following line has to be manually added to the
-unicodesymbols file of that LyX version:<br>
-0x200b "\\hspace{0pt}" "" "" "" "" # ZERO WIDTH SPACE<br>
-This avoids "uncodable character" issues if the document is actually
-loaded by that LyX version. LyX 2.1 and later versions already have the
-necessary definition in their unicodesymbols file.
+By default, LyX 2.3 outputs en- and em-dashes as -- and --- respectively,
+so that a line break can occur in the output immediately after the dash.
+Sometimes, this results in undesired line breaks or overfull lines due to
+suppression of hyphenation in the word preceding the dash.
+Select "Document->Settings->Fonts->Disallow line breaks after dashes"

+See chapter 3.9.1.1, "Dashes and Line Breaks", of the User Guide
