+Public release of LyX version 2.2.1
===================================
-We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.0.
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.1.

-based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
-is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.

+LyX 2.2.1 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 made a number
+of improvements. FILL IN
-LyX 2.0.0 is the culmination of two and half years of hard work and
-you can find an overview of the new features here:
+One important change is to the behavior of character styles. By default,
+these now prohibit changes to the paragraph layout. Putting a description
+inside a character style typically results in invalid LaTeX code, so this
+makes certain mistakes harder to make. Power users who have taken advantage
+of the previous behavior can restore it by adding "ForcePlain 0" to the
+declaration of the character style, so long as this is done after "LyXType
+charstyle" has been declared.
