+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.6. This is the sixth

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 2.3.1 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 added some new
-features. Please see below for a full list. Perhaps the most important of
-these is that Jean-Marc Lasgouttes re-wrote the document painting mechanism.
-This makes LyX snappier, especially on repeated events.
+LyX 2.3.6 is the sixth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. It is the
+result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and
+more stable. Most of the changes are fairly minor, fixes of smallish bugs,
+but a couple crashes have been fixed, as well.
-All python scripts distributed with LyX should now be compatible with both
-python 2.x and python 3.x.
+One oft-requested feature (going back 13 years) is the ability to create
+new child documents from within the 'include file' dialog. This is now
+possible. Another equally old bug that has been fixed is that pasting
+table content outside a table no longer pastes tab characters.
-One oft-requested enhancement was to restore a keyboard shortcut for opening
-the 'settings' menu of graphics, reference, etc, insets. This is now Control-
-Alt-i, on Windows and Linux, and Control-Option-i on OSX (assuming you are
-using the default keybindings).
