-
-As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
-also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.2.0, either
-email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
-or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.
+Public release of LyX version 2.2.4
+===================================
+
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.4. This is the fourth and
+final maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.
+
+You can download LyX 2.2.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
+
+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 2.2.4 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 several
+improvements. Most users, however, will want to upgrade to LyX 2.3.0, which
+was released shortly before 2.2.4. Users who want or need to continue using
+the 2.2.x series, however, should in most cases upgrade to 2.2.4. Perhaps its
+most imortant new feature is that it is able to read and write files in the
+2.3.x format. Please note, however, that the conversion process back and forth
+usually will not leave one with an identical file, so we do not recommend that
+users of 2.2.4 try to collaborate with users of 2.3.x.
+
+If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.2.4, please open a bug report at
+http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
+really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
+<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask. Please note, however, that bugs discovered in
+2.2.4 will only be fixed in the 2.3.x series (if they still exist there), as
+there will be no further releases in the 2.2.x series.
