-What's new in LyX 2.0.2
+What's new in LyX 2.0.3
=======================
-There have been several improvements to LyX's ability to export documents
-in the background, so the program does not freeze during compilation. We
-hope to continue these improvements throughout the 2.0.x series.
+There have been several more updates to LyX's Sweave support. Work on this
+is expected to continue through the 2.0.x series.
-There have been major updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Please see
-below for the details.
+LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken
+to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter.
+A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used. Additionally,
+byte-compiled python files changed their installation target. Distribution
+maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets.
-The ctex document classes, used for Chinese documents, are now supported
-by LyX.
-
-Support for the Springer document classes has been updated for compatibility
-with the lasest versions. This has the side-effect that files, created with
-LyX 2.0.2 or future, using a Springer document class, will not be compilable
-with LyX versions older than LyX 2.0.2. The same applies for files created
-with LyX 1.6.10 or older that are saved with LyX 2.0.2 or future.
+There have again been several updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Not
+as many as with 2.0.2, but quite a few.
What's new
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
-- Completely revised support for the latest versions of the Springer
- document classes svjour3, svmono and svmult.
-
-- Add possibility to export the R code from a sweave-enabled document
- (part of bug 7555).

+ (bug 7887).
-- XHTML export now respects font color and background color from

+- New layout and template file for articles in the Journal of the Acoustical
+ Society of America (JASA).

-** TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS
+- Don't use the first python binary in the PATH environment variable if
+ this is not a version 2.x binary, but try to find a suitable one.
+ Note that this mechanism triggers only if the binary is invoked exactly
+ as "python -tt", which is the way it is done internally.
-- tex2lyx (that is used to import TeX files) now produces the current
- file format 413.
+- Allow redirecting stderr in converters (other than stdout).
-- tex2lyx now supports the conversion of:

+ there is a real space there (bug 7256).
