+* LyX now supports insertion and automated conversion of Gnuplot scripts,
+  recognized by their typical extension ".gp" or ".gnuplot". These can

+  file to the needed output format (e.g., .eps, .pdf), depending on
+  whether the document is being previewed on screen or compiled as PDF
+  or other formats. Terminal options cannot be fine-tuned at the moment,
+  but that's a capability that may come soon, also according to the
+  received feedback from users.
