This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 2.0.1
All comments are welcome.

I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
these fixes have been checked into the BRANCH_2_0_X branch, which you
can get with the command
  svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_2_0_X

What's new
==========


** Updates:
***********

* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT

- Allow for a maximum of 3 minutes for the completion of a spawned command
  except on Windows, where 30 minutes are allowed. This is because the Windows
  installer may trigger MiKTeX updates that suffer from network latencies.

- Improved XHTML output of various fractions.

- A prefix for the TEXINPUTS environment variable can be specified in the
  preferences. The directory of a LyX document is represented by a single
  dot '.' or by the prefix "./". Also, any non-absolute path will be
  prepended with the LyX document directory.

- Updated templates to current LyX format, so no conversion will be needed.


* USER INTERFACE

- Updated Czech, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Polish, Portuguese,
  Serbian (Latin), Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian User Interface
  Localization.

- Now it is not necessary to restart LyX after changing the default document
  directory and/or the PATH prefix in the preferences for them to take effect.


* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION

- fixed compilation of the French Customization manual


* BUILD/INSTALLATION
