Yes. The change is that we now use backend=flavor for the latex backend. This was introduced in the context of the support different flavors in source preview. The default is LATEX, so "latex" is used for the normal LATEX flavor. For the others, we currently use: latex=pdflatex latex=platex (PLaTeX, the Japanese engine) latex=xelatex (XeTeX) latex=lualatex (LuaTeX) Here is the relevant change: http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/36623/ HTH, Jürgen
