+LyX 2.3.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
+reliable and more stable. One important change is that emergency files are
+now renamed when users wish to save them. As a result, older emergency files
+are not over-written. One major update allows for the editing of the contents
+of the user-provided premable, and the contents of ERT insets, in external
+editors, a request that goes back to 2003 and bug #991.
+If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.3, please open a bug report at
