I updated the file WHATSNEW in the distribution to reflect latest
change. I append the result here. Could you all have a look and tell
me what to add/remove/rewrite? In particular, I'd like to have details
on the LinuxDoc changes (Jos�?).

What's new in 1.0.0 compared to LyX version 0.12.0?
----------------------------------------------------
LyX 1.0.0 is a stable release. Besides fixing many bugs compared to
version 0.12.0, it adds the following features:
- much improved reLyX script: many bugs have been fixed, new options
have been added, many construct are now correctly handled. reLyX is now
installed along with LyX and has its own man page. Separate upgrades
of reLyX will be made available later. The reLyX script is utilized
by the File->Import LaTeX command in LyX.
- Much improved LinuxDoc (sgml-tools) support: multiple textclasses,
footnotes, and more.
- New textclasses scrartcl, scrbook, scrreprt and scrlettr
implementing the corresponding classes of the koma-script
package. New textclasses latex8 for some IEEE journals, IEEEtran for
various IEEE Transactions journals and ejour2 for some Springer Verlag
Journals.
- Documentation has been partly translated to German and Swedish. You
will get this automatically from the Help menu if you setup the LANG
environment variable correctly (i.e. to 'de' or 'sv').
- Improved table support.
- Support for arbitrary line spacing in documents.
- The printer configuration scheme has changed a bit to help people
whose dvips is not configured correctly. As a consequence, you might
have to modify your lyxrc a bit. All users are advised to re-run
Option->Reconfigure to update LyX configuration.
Note that your existing global lyxrc file will not be overwritten by
default since now LyX only installs a file lyxrc.example to use as
template.
