47 Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2:
48 --------------------------------------------------------
50 - LyX is not yet supposed to work with Qt5. It is advised to compile and
51 run LyX against Qt 4.8.x. On Windows, Qt 4.8.5 suffers from a bug that

54 - LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.

71 documents that compiled without error with a previous version now
