1 Public release of LyX version 2.2.4
2 ===================================
4 We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.4. This is the fourth and
5 final maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.
7 You can download LyX 2.2.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
9 LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
10 on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
11 released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
13 LyX 2.2.4 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
14 reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made several
15 improvements. Most users, however, will want to upgrade to LyX 2.3.0, which
16 was released shortly before 2.2.4. Users who want or need to continue using
17 the 2.2.x series, however, should in most cases upgrade to 2.2.4. Perhaps its
18 most imortant new feature is that it is able to read and write files in the
19 2.3.x format. Please note, however, that the conversion process back and forth
20 usually will not leave one with an identical file, so we do not recommend that
21 users of 2.2.4 try to collaborate with users of 2.3.x.
23 If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.2.4, please open a bug report at
24 http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
25 really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
26 <at> lists.lyx.org) and ask. Please note, however, that bugs discovered in
27 2.2.4 will only be fixed in the 2.3.x series (if they still exist there), as
28 there will be no further releases in the 2.2.x series.
30 If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
31 documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
32 http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
33 users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org).
35 We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.2.4.
