+We are pleased to announce the second public pre-release of LyX 2.0.0.
+
+Due to the many reports we received, support for polyglossia, XeTeX's new
+language interface and babel replacement, has been added. In the same vein
+we added basic and experimental support for LuaTeX as well.
+
+Smaller changes to be highlighted are:
+* better support for sub/superscripts
+* externally launched documents are now possible to load in an already
+  running LyX instance
+* TikZ and PSTricks support in instant preview insets
+* context menu handling.
+
+Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker and
+also note that this release is for testing purposes only. Users are
+encouraged to use current 1.6 stable release for any serious work.
