instructions for upgrade from LyX 1.6.7 to 2.0 beta 1?
Hi gang. As LyX 2.0 beta 1 is now released, I thought I'd make the switch over (OS X 10.6). It installs and runs fine, but as best I can tell there is no automated import of LyX 1.6.7 settings. Are there any (draft) instructions available for walking the upgrade path? Are there any backwards compatibility issues or conflicts to watch out for, or can the existing LyX-1.6 user directory pretty much just be copied across? Ditto for migrating actual documents. Thanks! And very much looking forward to using this shiny new creature.

Hi Justin, good to have brave users who are going to test beta release of LyX 2.0. But it's beta and not clear exactly when the release will happen. So I hope, you're using it with copies of your important documents. It installs and runs fine, but as best I can tell there is no automated import of LyX 1.6.7 settings. Yes, the automated import is on the agenda only. The needed scripts are unfinished or at least the integration of them. Are there any (draft) instructions available for walking the upgrade path? Are there any backwards compatibility issues or conflicts to watch out for, or can the existing LyX-1.6 user directory pretty much just be copied across? Yes, there are backwards compatibility issues. I never did copy the user directory and the plan is to make the transition with the help of converter scripts. Ditto for migrating actual documents. That is done automatically and should work. After saving the documents they'll have the new 2.0 format. In the near future LyX 1.6 will be able to read LyX 2.0 documents. That's not the case already. So, as said above, you should start with copies of your documents since there is no easy way to go back. Thanks! And very much looking forward to using this shiny new creature. Have fun. Stephan
