-Pre-release of LyX version 2.0.0 (beta 2)
-==========================================
+Public release of LyX version 2.2.1
+===================================
-We are pleased to announce the second public pre-release of LyX 2.0.0.
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.1.
-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.
-Apart from these better support for sub/superscript has been added and
-externally launched documents are now possible to load in an already running
-LyX instance.
+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/.
-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.
+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
-Tarballs and binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/
+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.
-LyX 2.0.0 will be culmination of more than two years of hard work
-and you can find an overview of the new features here:
