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 2.3.6 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.
+
+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.
