-We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.0.

+final maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.

-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.
+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.
