+LyX's graphics handling system has changed substantially. If you
+do not have the JPEG library installed, you may need to install
+it before you can use the graphics capabilities of LyX. If you
+do not have the ImageMagick command-line tools installed, you
+will need to modify the default set up of LyX, or install them,
+in order to get previews of your document's graphics.

+Note: if you are using convert, and the graphics won't load in LyX,

+You can either upgrade ImageMagick, change the convertor to use
+"convert -depth 8", which shold work around the problem, or set up
+a convertor to use a different conversion program as described in
+the documentation.

Document transfer
-----------------
In general, you don't need to convert any documents saved with LyX
1.1.5 or 1.1.6 to use them with LyX 1.2.0.
-LyX 1.2.0 can read all documents saved with lyx 1.1.6 correctly.

+LyX 1.2.0 can read most documents saved with lyx 1.1.6 correctly.

Note that your document may rely on the floatflt package (for example,
you may use \floatingfigure via LaTeX commands). If your document does
not have "\usepackage{floatflt}" already in the user pre-amble, you will
need to add it.
