* UPGRADING: had a stab at this one two, but my lack of detailed

will need to modify the default set up of LyX, or install them,
in order to get previews of your document's graphics.
Note: if you are using convert, and the graphics won't load in LyX,
then you are probably seeing a bug in earlier versions of ImageMagick.
You can either upgrade ImageMagick, change the convertor to use
"convert -depth 8", which shold work around the problem, or set up
a convertor to use a different conversion program as described in
the documentation.

Document transfer
-----------------
In general, you don't need to convert any documents saved with LyX
1.1.5 or 1.1.6 to use them with LyX 1.2.0.
LyX 1.3.0 uses an external python script, lyx2lyx, to import documents
written using previous versions of LyX. All versions of LyX as far back as
0.12 are supported, so any klyx users still holding out for an alternative
to xforms will finally be able to put their dinosaur to rest ;-)
Older versions of LyX cannot read documents saved with LyX 1.2.0.
LyX 1.2.0 can read most documents saved with lyx 1.1.6 correctly.
Of course, this means that you must have python installed in order to
use LyX 1.3.0 with your old documents.
lyx2lyx also has the framework in place to be able to convert documents
to an earlier format. However, these converters have not yet been written
so older versions of LyX will NOT be able to read documents saved with
LyX 1.3.0.
If you were previously using the floatflt paragraph option to
wrap text around a figure, you will need to modify this for LyX 1.2.0

If you are using the minipage paragraph options in your document, you
may find that LyX 1.2.0 fails to import them correctly as minipages.
This might require some editing to correct this. If you have
trouble with this, please ask the lyx-users mailing list for assistance,
and we will be happy to help.
