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.

+-export-to <format> <dest> (-E <format> <dest>)
+
+ Allows one to perform a batch export of the LyX file that is opened
+ to the specified destination file <dest> and format <format>.
+ For example, to create a PDF of a LyX document, you can run:
+ lyx -export-to pdf /path/to/dest.pdf /path/to/source.lyx
+ See the manual page for details.
A bash completion script was added to the tarball.
