This file lists interface changes that might affect users in 2.0.0, some known problems in LyX 2.0.0 and some things you have to take into account when upgrading from earlier versions to a version of the 2.0.x series. Note that fixes are available for some of these, but they have not yet been applied because of incomplete testing. 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. A bash completion script was added to the tarball. We have introduced a new flag to decide whether or not a given "document" format shall be listed in the File > Export menu. This was necessary since this menu got too large. If the flag "menu=export" is not explicitly set, the formats are not included in the menu. This means that you might need to click "Show in export menu" in Preferences > File Formats for your customized file formats if you want them to appear in the menu. Note, though, that you still can export to any possible format via File > Export > More Formats and Options ... The following pref variables were changed in 2.0: - \language_package was renamed to \language_custom_package - \language_use_babel (bool) has been replaced by \language_package_selection, which can be 0 (automatic selection) 1 (always use babel) 2 custom (use the custom package defined by \language_custom_package) 3 none (equivalent to former \language_use_babel false) The following pref variables are obsoleted in 2.0: - \plaintext_roff_command (was not used anymore) - \personal_dictionary, \spell_command, \use_input_encoding, \use_personal_dictionary and \use_spell_lib (ispell support has been removed) - \spellchecker_use_alt_lang and \use_escape_chars (actually not used by the UI, and it is as simple to check whether the relevant variable is empty) - \custom_export_command and \custom_export_format The following new LyX functions have been introduced: - LFUN_WORD_FINDAD ("word-findadv"). - LFUN_REGEXP_MODE ("regexp-mode"). - LFUN_PHANTOM_INSERT ("phantom-insert"). - LFUN_INSET_BEGIN ("inset-begin"). - LFUN_INSET_END (""inset-end""). - LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select"). - LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select"). - LFUN_CHANGE_PREVIOUS ("change-previous"). - LFUN_LABEL_INSERT_AS_REF ("label-insert-as-reference"). - LFUN_SECTION_SELECT ("section-select"). - LFUN_FONT_UNDERLINE ("font-underline"). - LFUN_FONT_STRIKEOUT ("font-strikeout"). - LFUN_FONT_UULINE ("font-underunderline"). - LFUN_FONT_UWAVE ("font-underwave"). - LFUN_BRANCHES_RENAME ("branches-rename"). - LFUN_BRANCH_ADD_INSERT ("branch-add-insert"). - LFUN_BUFFER_CLOSE_ALL ("buffer-close-all"). - LFUN_INSET_FORALL ("inset-forall"). - LFUN_DEBUG_LEVEL_SET ("debug-level-set"). - LFUN_INSET_SELECT_ALL ("inset-select-all"). - LFUN_MATH_AMS_MATRIX ("math-ams-matrix"). - LFUN_VC_COMPARE ("vc-compare"). - LFUN_SPELLING_ADD ("spelling-add"). - LFUN_SPELLING_IGNORE ("spelling-ignore"). - LFUN_SPELLING_REMOVE ("spelling-remove"). - LFUN_PREVIEW_INSERT ("preview-insert"). - LFUN_FORWARD_SEARCH ("forward-search"). - LFUN_INSET_COPY_AS ("inset-copy-as"). - LFUN_BUFFER_TOGGLE_OUTPUT_SYNC ("buffer-toggle-output-sync"). The following LyX functions have been removed: - LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead. - LFUN_NEXT_INSET_MODIFY ("next-inset-modify"): use "inset-modify" instead. - LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead. - LFUN_NOTES_MUTATE ("notes-mutate"): replace notes-mutate with the more general function inset-forall inset-forall Note: inset-modify note Note - LFUN_ALL_INSETS_TOGGLE ("all-insets-toggle"): replace all-insets-toggle all-insets-toggle with the more generic function inset-forall inset-forall inset-toggle inset-forall * inset-toggle There is a difference in the parameter, which is would be like "note" in the first case and "Note" in the second. - LFUN_TABULAR_FEATURE ("tabular-feature"): use "inset-modify" instead. I.e., "tabular-feature FEATURE " becomes: inset-modify tabular FEATURE - LFUN_LINE_INSERT ("line-insert"): use "inset-insert line" instead. For something close to the previous default, use: inset-insert line rule height 0.25ex width 100col% \\end_inset This is necessary because the line inset now takes various arguments. - LFUN_TOC_INSERT ("toc-insert"): use "inset-insert toc" instead. The following LyX functions have been changed: - LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use inset-settings for this purpose. - LFUN_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word at current cursor position, even if it is not selected. - LFUN_OPTIONAL_INSERT ("optional-insert") has been renamed LFUN_ARGUMENT_INSERT ("argument-insert"). The following LyX key bindings have been changed: - LFUN_MATH_MACRO_FOLD ("math-macro-fold") The binding to "C-minus" has changed to "C-S-underscore". - LFUN_MATH_MACRO_UNFOLD ("math-macro-unfold") The binding to "C-plus" has changed to "C-S-asterisk". - On Mac OSX the modifier keys and
