-Public release of LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 2)
-=========================================================
+Public release of LyX version 2.3.5
+===================================
-We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of LyX 1.6.0.
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.5. This is the fifth
+maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. We encourage all users to
+upgrade to this version.
-LyX 1.6.0 will be the culmination of 12 months of hard work since the
-release of the LyX 1.5 series. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the
-result.
+You can download LyX 2.3.5 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
-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.
+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.
-The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
-http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16
+LyX 2.3.5 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
+reliable and more stable. Most of the changes are incremental, but quite a
+few important bugs have now been fixed.
-The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release
-compared to the current stable release (LyX 1.5.6). An updated list of
-issues might later be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes
+One important change is that Inkscape 1.0 is now supported: It will be detected
+and configured automatically. Users of previous versions have recently reported
+configuration failures when Inkscape 1.0 is installed, leading to an incomplete
+(and all but unusable) installation of LyX. This should also be fixed.
+If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.5, 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.
-In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
-http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
+If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
+that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
+is at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
+LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
+active community of people who are ready to help.
- LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
- based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
- is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.
+We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.5.
- LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
- right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
- details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page
- boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary
- TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
+The LyX team.
+http://www.lyx.org
- On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or
- richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
- nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
- looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
- different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating'
- your dissertation the evening before going to press.
- LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
- internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the
- Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
