+
+What's new in version 2.2.2?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 2.2.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.
+
+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.
