 What's new in LyX 2.0.3
 ===
 
 There have been several more updates to LyX's Sweave support. Work on this
 is expected to continue through the 2.0.x series.
 
 LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken
 to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter.
 A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used. Additionally,
 byte-compiled python files changed their installation target. Distribution
 maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets.
 
 There have again been several updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Not
 as many as with 2.0.2, but quite a few.
 
 
 What's new
 ==
 
 ** Updates:
 ***
 
 * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
 
 - Add support for `knitr', an alternative for Sweave on R = 2.14.1
  (bug 7887).
 
 - Improved output of Comment notes for XHTML. These are now div's that are
  hidden by the default CSS.
 
 - New layout and template file for articles in the Journal of the Acoustical
  Society of America (JASA).
 
 - Speed up autosave a bit by not cloning child documents (bug 7923).
 
 - Don't use the first python binary in the PATH environment variable if
  this is not a version 2.x binary, but try to find a suitable one.
  Note that this mechanism triggers only if the binary is invoked exactly
  as python -tt, which is the way it is done internally.
 
 - Allow redirecting stderr in converters (other than stdout).
 
 - Add LaTeX commands for unicode symbols U+200c, U+2011, U+2017, U+2027 and
  U+202f to be used with non-unicode LaTeX backends (bug 7998).
 
 
 * TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS
 
 - Support for included external files via the templates
  - PDF pages
  - Chess diagram
  - Spreadsheet
 
 - tabular* environments are imported
 
 - Formal tables are now supported (bug 4553).
 
 - Support for change tracking commands (bug 4213).
 
 
 * USER INTERFACE
 
 - Added scalable LyX icon in svg format (bug 7919).
 
 - Clarify what the user can do when hyperref is provided by the document
  class (bug 6293).
 
 - Slightly reduced space around inset buttons, to make it clearer when
  there is a real space there (bug 7256).
 
 - Let inset-toggle work for very large documents (bug 7945).
 
 - Disable spell checker dialog for empty documents (bug 5585).
 
 - Display some commands from mathtools.sty natively (bug 7949).
 
 - Add the directory /usr/share/myspell as default location for dictionary
  lookup of hunspell spell checker backend (a common location on linux).
  Detect value change of preferences path to hunspell dictionaries
  to avoid the need for a restart.  This is related to bug 7884.
 
 - We now use the display string as a tooltip in the Outliner, if no
  other tooltip is given.
 
 - Show check mark on current math limit type in EditMath submenu.
 
 
 * DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
 
 - Customization manual updated to reflect the features of LyX 2.0.x.
 
 - New Dutch user interface localization.
 
 - Updated Czech, French, German, Indonesian, Interlingua, Italian,
  Japanese, Nynorsk, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian user
  interface localizations.
 
 - The Sweave manual was completely revised and is now also available in
  the menu Help-Specific Manuals (bug 7891).
 
 - EmbeddedObjects manual:
  - new description how to color dashed table lines
  - new section how to split table cells by diagonal lines

What's new in LyX 2.0.3
===

There have been several more updates to LyX's Sweave support. Work on this
is expected to continue through the 2.0.x series.

LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken
to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python 
interpreter.

A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used. Additionally,
byte-compiled python files changed their installation target. Distribution
maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets.

There have again been several updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Not
as many as with 2.0.2, but quite a few.

** Updates:
***

* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT

- Add support for `knitr', an alternative for Sweave on R = 2.14.1
  (bug 7887).

- Improved output of Comment notes for XHTML. These are now div's that are
  hidden by the default CSS.

- New layout and template file for articles in the Journal of the Acoustical
  Society of America (JASA).

- Speed up autosave a bit by not cloning child documents (bug 7923).

- Don't use the first python binary in the PATH environment variable if
  this is not a version 2.x binary, but try to find a suitable one.
  Note that this mechanism triggers only if the binary is invoked exactly
  as python -tt, which is the way it is done internally.

- Allow redirecting stderr in converters (other than stdout).

- Add LaTeX commands for unicode symbols U+200c, U+2011, U+2017, U+2027 and
  U+202f to be used with non-unicode LaTeX backends (bug 7998).


* TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS

- Support for included external files via the templates
  - PDF pages
  - Chess diagram
  - Spreadsheet

- tabular* environments are imported

- Formal tables are now supported (bug 4553).

- Support for change tracking commands (bug 4213).


* USER INTERFACE

- Added scalable LyX icon in svg format (bug 7919).

- Clarify what the user can do when hyperref is provided by the document
  class (bug 6293).

- Slightly reduced space around inset buttons, to make it clearer when
  there is a real space there (bug 7256).

- Let inset-toggle work for very large documents (bug 7945).

- Disable spell checker dialog for empty documents (bug 5585).

- Display some commands from mathtools.sty natively (bug 7949).

- Add the directory /usr/share/myspell as default location for dictionary
  lookup of hunspell spell checker backend (a common location on linux).
  Detect value change of preferences path to hunspell dictionaries
  to avoid the need for a restart.  This is related to bug 7884.

- We now use the display string as a tooltip in the Outliner, if no
  other tooltip is given.

- Show check mark on current math limit type in EditMath submenu.


* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION

- Customization manual updated to reflect the features of LyX 2.0.x.

- New Dutch user interface localization.

- Updated Czech, French, German, Indonesian, Interlingua, Italian,
  Japanese, Nynorsk, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian user
  interface localizations.

- The Sweave manual was completely revised and is now also available in
  the menu Help-Specific Manuals (bug 7891).

- EmbeddedObjects manual:
  - new description how to color dashed table lines
  - new section how to split table cells by diagonal lines

- Updated description of the external material template PDFPages
  (bug 7888).

- Improved description of the modulo-functions in the Math manual (bug 
7961).



* BUILD/INSTALLATION

- Make sure that we detect and use python 2 on systems where python 3
  is the default python interpreter.

- cmake, LYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD: look for the right filename on 
SourceForge.


- Make compilation work with GCC 4.7.

- Support configure --with-packaging=posix on Mac OS X (bug
