+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 2.2.1 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 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.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.2.1?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 2.2.1 is the first maintenance relase in the 2.2.x series.
+
+A large number of bugs have been fixed since the 2.2.0 release.
+We are pleased to say that most of these were relatively minor:
+LyX 2.2.0 was perhaps the stable major version release we have
+produced in a some time. Nontheless, we encourage all users of
+2.2.0 to upgrade to this version.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.2.0?
+----------------------------
+
+The new features in LyX 2.2 are detailed in
+http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX22
+
+* HiDPI display support
+* Qt5 support
+* New text display algorithm
+* Horizontal scrolling for large insets
+* Improved control of paragraph breaks
+* Improved text color support
+* Improved box dialog
+* Improved table context menu
+* Reworked instant preview
+* Enhanced source panel
+* Improved outliner and navigation menu
+* Enhanced language support
+* New supported languages
+* New supported LaTeX commands
+* Layout enhancements
+* Module enhancements
+* New preferences settings
+* New converters
+
+
+What's new in version 2.1.5?
+----------------------------
+
+We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. Many
+of these were minor, but there were a few crashes we fixed, too.
+
+Please note that this is the final release in the 2.1.x series. It is
+intended for users who for some reason do not wish to upgrade to 2.2.x
+at this time. We strongly encourage all such users to upgrade to this
+version.
+
+One of the main features of 2.1.5 is its ability to read and write files
+in the 2.2.x format. Since the conversion process back and forth usually
+will not leave one with an identical file, however, we do not recommend
+attempting to collaborate with users of 2.2.x.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.1.4?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 2.1.4 is the fourth maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
+
+A large number of bugs have been fixed. Many of these were minor, but
+there were a few crashes we fixed, too, so we encourage all LyX users
+to upgrade to this version.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.1.3?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 2.1.3 is the third maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
+
+A large number of bugs have been fixed, most of them fairly minor. But
+there were several additional improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion
+program that should make import of older beamer documents more reliable.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.1.2?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 2.1.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
+
+The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem
+that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0,
+sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes generally
+happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, usually a
+fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a crash when
+trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That bug has
+also been fixed.
+
+There are also several other, smaller bug-fixes, including several more
+improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion scripts. This should make the import
+of older beamer documents easier.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.1.1?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 2.1.1 is the first maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. It is bug-
+fixing release, and a whole lot of bugs have been fixed. Please see the
+release announcement for the details.
+
+Several users have reported seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, sometimes
+resulting in dataloss. These crashes appear to happen when the user attempts
+to save a file, and the dataloss occurs because the original LyX file is over-
+written by a corrupt file that then cannot be opened. The seemingly random
+crashes, we believe, are due to auto-save, which is enabled or disabled in
+Tools> Preferences> Document Handling > "Backup documents every...minutes".
+
+Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the cause of this bug, though all
+known reports seem to involve documents that contain tables, and the corrupt
+file always ends with: \begin_inset Tabular.
+
+To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user
+has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before
+attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup).
+Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.1.0?
+----------------------------
+
+The new features in LyX 2.1 are detailed in
+http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21
+
+* Native IPA inset and IPA toolbar
+* New supported languages
+* Tex Fonts Additions
+* Basic support for Math OpenType fonts
+* Document class categories
+* Enhanced support for LaTeX options
+* New supported LaTeX commands
+* New export command-line option
+* Table rotations
+* Layout enhancements
+* New modules
+* Equation Editor "mode"
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.8?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 2.0.8 is the final release in the 2.0 series. It is intended for
+those who for some reason wish or need to continue using LyX 2.0.x. Most
+users should upgrade to 2.1.0, which is being released simultaneously.
+
+This release incorporates a number of important bug fixes, almost all of
+which are also in 2.1.0. Those that are not will be released with 2.1.1.
+The most important feature of 2.0.8 is that it is capable of reading and
+writing files from LyX 2.1.x. Files from the newer format should open in
+LyX 2.0.8 without the user needing to do anything special. Files can be
+exported to the 2.1.x format in the usual way: via File> Export.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.7?
+----------------------------
+
+2.0.7 is another bug-fixing release. Most of these are minor, but there
+is one that is very ipmortant: #8854, which could lead to file corruption
+in certain cases and, more often, would lead to errors in generated
+files (e.g., PDFs). We encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this
+version.
+
+A number of other, less critical bugs have also been fixed. Please see
+the ANNOUNCE file for details.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.6?
+----------------------------
+
+This is a bug-fixing release, for the most part. Though, as it has been
+almost six months since the last release, a lot of important bugs have
+been fixed. Please see the ANNOUNCE file for details.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.5?
+----------------------------
+
+The View>Source widget now allows you to select the backend to display,
+e.g., LaTeX or XHTML, rather than the output format. The previous choice
+really made no sense: You didn't see a PDF there if you chose one of the
+PDF output formats, but rather LaTeX. This solves some long-standing issues
+with View>Source.
+
+There has been an important change in how the "language" lfun works.
+ - "language <LANG>" now toggles between languages
+ (status quo ante LyX 2.0.2)
+ - "language <LANG> set" sets to language <LANG>
+ (meaning of "language <LANG>" as of LyX 2.0.2)
+ - "language [reset]" resets to the document language.
+ - Menu functions are unchanged.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.4?
+----------------------------
+
+We have migrated our development from subversion to the git revision
+control sytem. If you follow or maintain packaging of up-to-date versions
+of LyX 2.0.x, you must switch to the new repository address:
+ git://git.lyx.org/lyx
+Branch 2.0.x is the stable branch. See
+ http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseGIT
+for details.
+
+Most of the improvements in 2.0.4 are bug fixes, some of them important. In
+particular, we have fixed several crashes. The main outstanding problem is
+the inability to cancel the background export process. Some improvement has
+been made here, by updating the timeout mechanism, but more needs to be done,
+and hopefully will be done for 2.0.5.
+
+There have been several updates to LyX's XHTML export routines. Work on this
+will continue for 2.0.5.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.3?
+----------------------------
+
+There have been several more updates to LyX's Sweave support. Work on this
+is expected to continue through the 2.0.x series.
+
+LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken
+to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter.
+A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used. Additionally,
+byte-compiled python files changed their installation target. Distribution
+maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets.
+
+There have again been several updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Not
+as many as with 2.0.2, but quite a few.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.2?
+----------------------------
+
+There have been several improvements to LyX's ability to export documents
+in the background, so the program does not freeze during compilation. We
+hope to continue these improvements throughout the 2.0.x series.
+
+There have been major updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Please see
+below for the details.
+
+The ctex document classes, used for Chinese documents, are now supported
+by LyX.
+
+Support for the Springer document classes has been updated for compatibility
+with the lasest versions. This has the side-effect that files, created with
+LyX 2.0.2 or future, using a Springer document class, will not be compilable
+with LyX versions older than LyX 2.0.2. The same applies for files created
+with LyX 1.6.10 or older that are saved with LyX 2.0.2 or future.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.1?
+----------------------------
+
+We have fixed an unusually large number of bugs for this release and made
+a number of improvements. All of these are detailed in the ANNOUNCE file.
+We would like to highlight the improved handling of external files referenced
+from ERT. This may cause issues for those who made use of the undocumented
+\input@path hack. See the ANNOUNCE file again for how to do things the new
+way. New methods for calling external scripts should also solve several issues
+on Windows.
+
+
+What's new in version 2.0.0?
+----------------------------
+
+The new features in LyX 2.0 are detailed in
+http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20
+
+* Advanced Search Facility
+* Spell-checking on the Fly
+* Compare Documents Feature
+* XHTML Output
+* Multilingual Thesaurus
+* XeTeX Backend
+* Multiple Indices Support
+* Progress View and Debugging Pane
+* Enhanced Instant Preview
+* Forward Search for DVI/PDF Files
+* Enhanced Version Control Features
+* Typesetting in background
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.10?
+------------------------------
+The most notable new feature of this version is that it is able to read and
+import documents of our new stable series, LyX 2.0.x. This is for the benefit
+of users who want to stick with LyX 1.6.x for the time being, but still want
+to cooperate with users of the new version. Note that LyX 1.6.10 still
+writes the 1.6 format, so it cannot produce (but only interpret) LyX 2.0's
+new features.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.9?
+-----------------------------
+
+We have fixed yet another number of crashes that have been reported to us
+and ironed out many small glitches. Also, some features and additions from
+the forthcoming 2.x series, such as support for CVS revision control and a
+new Swedish localization, have been backported to LyX 1.6.9.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.8?
+-----------------------------
+
+LyX 1.6.8 is the result of our ongoing efforts to make our stable version
+even more reliable and stable. We have fixed crashes that have been
+reported to us, ironed out many small glitches, further polished the user
+interface, updated the documentation and added some new layouts.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.7?
+-----------------------------
+
+From the list of fixes and improvements, we'd like to highlight
+particularly that this release irons out all known stability problems with
+Qt 4.6. LyX 1.6.7 is our first release that is supposed to run smoothly
+with Qt 4.6, so we urge all distributors who use that version to upgrade
+LyX as well.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.6.1?
+------------------------------
+
+The sole purpose of this release is to fix one glitch that was introduced
+by LyX 1.6.6: The spellchecker missed further misspellings after applying
+a correction. This was due to the fix to different bug that had to be
+reverted. In any other respect, this release is identical to Lyx 1.6.6.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.6?
+-----------------------------
+
+The release features a long list of fixes and improvements. Yet a number
+of crashes, reported by our users or our automatic stability testing
+program, were fixed. Moreover, LyX was improved in many details. It also
+introduces new features, such as support for the enchant spell checking
+backend and for aspell language varieties (such as old and new German
+spelling in parallel).
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.5?
+-----------------------------
+
+The release comes with many fixes and improvements. A number of newly
+reported crashes were fixed, new layouts and modules were included and
+some long-standing requests were implemented (e.g., a working LyX
+server on the Windows OS, finally enabling the communication with other
+applications such as JabRef on this platform as well).
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.4.2?
+-------------------------------
+
+The upgrade fixes recurring pseudo-crashes when running LyX on
+Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.4.1?
+-------------------------------
+
+The only change over release 1.6.4 is the fix of a regression on the Mac,
+which made some dialogs (such as Preferences and About LyX) unaccessible
+via the menu. Other platforms than the Mac were not affected by the issue.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.4?
+-------------------------------
+
+This is the fourth maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. This release
+covers, amongst many minor improvements, fixes to some rather severe
+issues, such as:
+
+* A workaround to a nasty problem in recent Qt versions (Qt 4.5.0 up to
+ 4.5.2) that made LyX crash if the document included images that were
+ scaled to certain sizes in the work area.
+* Fixes to problems that might result in the loss of data.
+* Many other stability improvements, thanks to a new debugging script that
+ helped to reveal uncovered critical bugs.
+* Further fixes to the LaTeX importer (tex2lyx) and the conversion of
+ older LyX documents (lyx2lyx).
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.3?
+-------------------------------
+
+This is the third maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. Besides the usual
+improvements of stability, the highlights of this release are:
+
+* tex2lyx is now able to read files in all latex supported encodings and
+ transform them into the proper unicode-based format introduced in 1.5.0.
+ This paves the way for many other improvements in LaTeX->LyX translation
+* The performance problems when editing a master with child documents have
+ been resolved.
+* LyX 1.6.3 introduces some goodies provided by Qt 4.5 (menu support for
+ fullscreen mode in linux, close button on tabs). Of course these
+ improvements (as well as some Qt-related fixes) only show up if LyX is
+ compiled against Qt 4.5.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.2?
+-------------------------------
+
+This is the second maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. The release
+fixes a large number of major and critical bugs that were reported by
+users of LyX 1.6.0 and 1.6.1. Most notably, three bugs that might lead to
+dataloss were detected and resolved. Furthermore, a number of crashes,
+file conversion and LaTeX output problems are fixed. As a bonus, the
+performance of the application has been improved, and the release also
+introduces some new features and user interface improvements.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.1?
+-------------------------------
+
+This is the first maintenance release in the brand-new 1.6.x series, and
+as such, it mainly focuses on bug fixes. We have ironed out some major
+problems that slipped into the application in the wake of the new
+features.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.6.0?
+-------------------------------
+
+The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
+http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16
+
+* Multiple Work Areas
+* Split Views
+* User-formattable Collapsible Insets
+* Layout Modules
+* Layout combobox changes
+* Support for the LaTeX package hyperref
+* Support for hyperlinks and URLs
+* Improved floats
+* New implementation of math macros
+* Completion popup
+* Inset Tooltip
+* Context Menu
+* Symbols dialog
+* Shortcut Configuration dialog
+* Paste Graphics from the Clipboard
+* "Visual mode" for bidirectional cursor movement
+* Fullscreen mode
+* Extended Outliner
+* Session management
+* Subversion support
+* Graphics parameters groups
+* LyX functions manual
+* Multi-LFUN Keybindings
+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.7?
+----------------------------
+
+This is the sixth maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle and it is
+expected to be the final release in this series, since a new series of
+stable releases has just been introduced by our new major release,
+LyX 1.6.0. Besides the obligatory bug fixes, the main feature of this
+release is the ability to read files created by LyX 1.6.0 (this feature
+requires python 2.3.4 or newer).
+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.6?
+----------------------------
+
+This is the fifth maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle that has been
+started exactly one year ago. The aim of this release was to make LyX
+even more robust and to solve some long-standing annoyances. Also,
+further translation efforts have been made, and LyX now ships in 23
+languages.
+
+What's new in version 1.5.5?
+----------------------------
+
+This release further improves the stability and usability of the
+application. Besides this, it also introduces some new features. Most
+notably, LyX is now prepared to be compiled with Qt 4.4 that has just
+been released: the stability issues that occurred in previous versions
+of LyX when compiled against Qt 4.4 have been resolved.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.4?
+----------------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release. Besides the usual stability
+improvements and fixes, this release comes with major improvements in
+the handling of Chinese, Korean and Japanese (CJK) languages and
+scripts, and introduces some minor new features (such as a character
+count option).
+
+While this release continues the stable 1.5.x series, work on the next
+major release, 1.6.0, is proceeding. A first alpha version of LyX
+1.6.0 will be released later this week for those who like the bleeding
+edge experience. Notwithstanding this, expect one or two more 1.5.x
+versions to be released, of which the last one will be able to read
+the 1.6 format.
+
+All users, especially CJK users, are encouraged to upgrade to this
+version. Caveat: We were forced to switch from the LaTeX package
+'floatflt' to 'wrapfig' for wrap figure floats due to a license
+problem that limited the availability of the former package. In
+general, this should improve your documents containing wrap figures,
+however, it is possible that the look and positioning of the floats
+changes due to the package change. If you have documents with wrap
+floats, please make a backup before upgrading and check the output.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.3?
+----------------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release that further improves the stability and
+the performance. Besides numerous crashes, the display problems that
+slipped into 1.5.2 with the performance fixes (on the Mac and on
+Windows) as well as problems entailed to the reworked document classes
+were fixed. Furthermore, LyX 1.5.3 comes with speed improvements that
+should pay off especially on the Mac and other UNIXes. Finally, this
+version also provides some new features.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.2?
+----------------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release that focuses on improving the
+stability. We have fixed numerous crashes, performance problems, and
+other bugs. Furthermore, the documentation has been revised. It covers
+all new features of the 1.5.x series now.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.1?
+----------------------------
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.1. It includes a few
+bug fixes and, more importantly, fixes a bug where files produced with
+the Document>Compressed option on would be malformed on windows. It
+was therefore decided to revert to the trusty 1.4.x code in this area
+and release 1.5.1 sooner than anticipated.
+
+All 1.5.0 users are urged to upgrade to 1.5.1.
+
+
+What's new in version 1.5.0?
+----------------------------
+
+As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
+visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
+some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
+
+* Unicode
+
+LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew
+of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic
+languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to
+encodings currently available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8
+encoding or a brand new typesetting system such as XeTeX.
+Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some
+areas still need a cleanup it, is very likely that some bugs related to
+the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known
+bugs on the LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related
+to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel
+mailing list.
+
+* Integrated CJK support
+
+The very first result of the Unicode transition is that we have finally
+merged in the externally maintained CJK-LyX branch.
+The languages Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are now supported in
+the user interface.
+Note that setting the encoding for these languages in LyX 1.5 by
+using ERT or the document preamble will lead to LaTeX-errors!
+Also note that you may need to run qtconfig and set appropriate default
+or substitution fonts to display CJK characters under some circumstances.
+
+* Language support
+
+In addition to the CJK languages, the languages Armenian and Farsi also
+have full user interface support.
+
+* Multiple views of the same buffer
+
+LyX can now display multiple views of the same buffer. I.e., you can
+now open a single document in multiple windows and work on different
+parts of it synchronously.
+
+* Outliner and embedded TOC
