-Public release of LyX version 2.0.0
+Public release of LyX version 2.2.2
===================================
-We are proud to announce the public release of LyX 2.0.0.
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.2. This is the second
+maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.
-With this release, LyX celebrates 15 years of existence, and we start
-a new family of 2.x releases to acknowledge LyX's passing from a child
-to an adult. We hope you will celebrate this anniversary with us.
+You can download LyX 2.2.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
-LyX 2.0.0 is the culmination of two and half years of hard work. This
-release begins a new series of 2.0.x which will incrementally improve its
-stability as the time passes.
+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.
-An overview of the new features can be found here:
- http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20
+LyX 2.2.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
+reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number
+of improvements. Most of these are relatively minor, but we nonetheless
+encourage all users of 2.2.1 to upgrade to this version.
-You can download LyX 2.0.0 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
+Perhaps the most important bug we fixed affected use of covington.sty with
+2.2.1. This will only have affected users of the Linguistics module.
-We hope you will enjoy the result!
+One new feature is the use of the "scaling" option when exporting images
+for XHTML. This does not work the same way as with LaTeX export. What it
+does is add something like "width: 50%" to the style attribute. This will
+ordinarily be interpreted by the browser as a percentage relative to the
+current element.
-The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
-to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6.x). We strongly recommend that
-packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
-
-As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
-also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.0.0, either email
-the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug
-report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

+really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
