-Pre-release of LyX version 2.0.0 (beta 1)
-==========================================
+Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)
+==================================================
-We are pleased to announce the first public pre-release of LyX 2.0.0.
-Development moved to the beta phase which basically means we will no more
-include new features and focus on polishing the current ones.
-We are thus grateful for any feedback you sent us regarding any bugs you
-encounter while testing the beta release. Except trying new features
-this is also good time to check that your favorite old files works with
-the new release as expected.
+We are pleased to announce the second release candidate of LyX 2.0.0.
-Please note that this release is for testing purposes only, users are
-encouraged to use current 1.6 stable release for any serious work.
+Due to the numerous requests we added more sets of toolbar icons (based on
+Oxygen and LibreOffice themes) which can be easily changed in preferences.
+
+The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
+to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read
+this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions.
+
+As with any major release we come with lot of new features but also
+bugs -- so while we encourage curious users to test this release, people
+who rely on solid and stable application should stay with 1.6 releases.
+Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker.
