-Public release of LyX version 2.1.0
-========================================
+Public release of LyX version 2.3.5
+===================================
-We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.0.
+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.
-With this release, LyX celebrates 18 years of existence. The 2.1 series
-has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series.
+You can download LyX 2.3.5 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
-LyX 2.1.0 is the culmination of three years of hard work. An overview
-of the new features can be found here:
- http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21
+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.
-You can download LyX 2.1.0 from http://www.lyx.org/Download.
+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.
-We hope you will enjoy the result!
+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.
-The file lib/RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
-to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that
-packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
