===================================

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software 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. Most of these are relatively minor, but we nonetheless
-encourage all users of 2.2.0 to upgrade to this version.
-
-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 2.2.4 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 several
+improvements. Most users, however, will want to upgrade to LyX 2.3.0, which
+was released shortly before 2.2.4. Users who want or need to continue using
+the 2.2.x series, however, should in most cases upgrade to 2.2.4. Perhaps its
+most imortant new feature is that it is able to read and write files in the
+2.3.x format. Please note, however, that the conversion process back and forth
+usually will not leave one with an identical file, so we do not recommend that
+users of 2.2.4 try to collaborate with users of 2.3.x.

+If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.2.4, please open a bug report at

really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
-<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.
+<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask. Please note, however, that bugs discovered in
+2.2.4 will only be fixed in the 2.3.x series (if they still exist there), as
+there will be no further releases in the 2.2.x series.
