-Public release of LyX version 2.2.1
+Public release of LyX version 2.2.4
===================================
-We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.1.
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.4. This is the fourth and
+final maintenance release in the 2.2.x series.
-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 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
-
-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.
+You can download LyX 2.2.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

+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

+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.
