11 There have been some changes to the LyX command line. There is a new option
12 "--batch" that causes LyX to run the given commands without opening a GUI
13 window. Thus, something like:
14 lyx --batch -x "buffer-print printer default dvips" myfile.lyx
15 will cause LyX to print myfile.lyx to the default printer, using dvips and

47 - LFUN_INSET_BEGIN_SELECT ("inset-begin-select").
49 - LFUN_INSET_END_SELECT ("inset-end-select").

69 - LFUN_BRANCH_ADD_INSERT ("branch-add-insert").
72 The following LyX functions have been removed:
74 - LFUN_NEXT_INSET_TOGGLE ("next-inset-toggle"): use "inset-toggle" instead.
76 - LFUN_PARAGRAPH_SPACING ("paragraph-spacing"): use "paragraph-params" instead.
79 The following LyX functions have been changed:
81 - LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE ("inset-toggle"): For some insets, this function was used
82 to show the settings dialog. This is no longer possible and one should use
83 inset-settings for this purpose.
85 - LFUN_WORD_REPLACE ("word-replace"): The replacement and searched strings
86 arguments have been inverted in order to allow the replacement of the word
87 at current cursor position, even if it is not selected.
