This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 2.0.2
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

- Completely revised support for the latest versions of the Springer
  document classes svjour3, svmono and svmult.
  NOTE: This has the side-effect that files, created with LyX 2.0.2 or
  future, using a Springer document class, will not be compilable with
  LyX versions older than LyX 2.0.2. The same applies for files created
  with LyX 1.6.10 or older that are saved with LyX 2.0.2 or future.

- Add possibility to export the R code from a sweave-enabled document
  (part of bug 7555).

- XHTML export now respects font color and background color from 
  Document->Settings->Colors.


** TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS

- tex2lyx (that is used to import TeX files) now produces the current
  file format 413.

- tex2lyx now supports the conversion of:

  * The font packages utopia, fourier, ccfonts, chancery and beraserif.

  * Documents where no language package is set, or if a language package
    are set that work independently of babel and polyglossia.

  * The setting of the document-wide background color and text color
    (\color, \pagecolor), the background color of shaded boxes and the
    text color of greyed-out notes.

  * Horizontal lines (\rule).

  * Phantom spaces (\phantom, \hphanton, \vphantom).

  * Custom width for nomenclature list (\printnomenclature).

  * All types of underlined or striked out text.

  * Hyperlinks (\href).

  * Rotated floats (sidewaysfigure, sidewaystable).

  * Wrapped floats (wrapfigure, wraptable) (bug 4378).

  * Subfloats (\subfloat).

  * Command \date{} in the preamble to suppress the date output.


* USER INTERFACE

- New menu entry Edit->Select Whole Inset.

- Speed up cursor movement when inline completion is enabled in math.

- Make InsetInfo output a path matching the LaTeX compiler.

- Improve creation of a LyX archive. Now also the files referenced in ERT
  in the document body (e.g., through \input or \insertgraphics) are
  included in the archive.

- When changing the document language, also change the language of the
  text which is not explicitly marked in a different language, irrespective
  of the multilingual status, except for LTR<=>RTL changes.

- Augmented the tex2lyx --help message with the default paths (bug 6827).

- New command-line switch -v (--version) for tex2lyx showing build information
  and version number (bug 6827).


* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION

- Updated French, German, Interlingua, Italian and Slovak user interface
  localization.

- Revised template files for the Springer document classes.

- The appendices of the LyX user's guide have been revised.


* BUILD/INSTALLATION

- Add background image for Mac OS X disk image.
