-Public release of LyX version 1.6.0
+Public release of LyX version 2.2.1
===================================
-We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.0.
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.1.
-In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
-http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
+LyX 2.2.1 is the first maintenance release in the 2.2.x series. You can
+download LyX 2.2.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
- LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
- 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 1.6.0 is the culmination of 15 months of hard work since the
-release of the LyX 1.5.0. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the result.
+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.
-The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in

+LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
