LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
-LyX 2.2.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
+LyX 2.2.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number
of improvements. Most of these are relatively minor, but we nonetheless
-encourage all users of 2.2.0 to upgrade to this version.
+encourage all users of 2.2.1 to upgrade to this version.
+
+Perhaps the most important bug we fixed affected use of covington.sty with
+2.2.1. This will only have affected users of the Linguistics module.
-One important change is to the behavior of character styles. By default,
-these now prohibit changes to the paragraph layout. Putting a description
-inside a character style typically results in invalid LaTeX code, so this
-makes certain mistakes harder to make. Power users who have taken advantage
-of the previous behavior can restore it by adding "ForcePlain 0" to the
-declaration of the character style, so long as this is done after "LyXType
-charstyle" has been declared.
+One new feature is the use of the "scaling" option when exporting images
+for XHTML. This does not work the same way as with LaTeX export. What it
+does is add something like "width: 50%" to the style attribute. This will
+ordinarily be interpreted by the browser as a percentage relative to the
+current element.
