+What's new in version 1.5.0 (release candidate 1)
+----------------------------
+
+We encourage users to try this release candidate and report
+any feedback or problems to lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org.
+
+The difference to the last beta release is due to bug fixes only,
+no new features are allowed at this stage of development. The only
+exception to this rule is the addition of Farsi as a supported language
+since the available patch was not integrated in the previous release.
