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.
-LyX 2.3.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
-reliable and more stable. One main fix involves a crash with external viewers
-on Windows. We have also fixed a number of problems with the output of right-
-to-left languages, thanks to the involvement of users. There was also an
-infinite loop bug connected with the separation of environments that has been
-fixed. But, for the most part, the fixes here are incremental. Please see below
-for a full list.

+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.
+
+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.
