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.
