-Public release of LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 1)
-=============================================
+Public release of LyX version 2.3.2
+===================================
+
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.2. This is the second
+maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
+
+You can download LyX 2.3.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
+
+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 2.3.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
+reliable and more stable. One main fix involves a crash with external viewers
+on Windows. We have also fixed a number of problems with the output of right-
+to-left languages, thanks to the involvement of users. There was also an
+infinite loop bug connected with the separation of environments that has been
+fixed. But, for the most part, the fixes here are incremental. Please see below
+for a full list.
+
+If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.2, please open a bug report at
+http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
+really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
+<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.
+
+If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
+that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
+is at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
+LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
+active community of people who are ready to help.
+
+We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.2.

-LyX 1.6.0 will be the culmination of 12 months of hard work since the
-release of the LyX 1.5 series. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the
-result.
-As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
-visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
-some of the new features are the direct results of this work.
-The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in
-http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16
+What's new
+==========
-The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release
-compared to the current stable release (LyX 1.5.6). An updated list of
-issues might later be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes
+** Updates:
+***********
+* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
-In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
-http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
+- Add support for non-ASCII characters in hyperlinks (bug 11165).
- 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.
+- Support rotated table cells with linebreaks (bug 8085).
- LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
- right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
- details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page
- boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary
- TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
+- Add support for LyX logo in RTL output (bug 10423).
- On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or
- richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like
- nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all
- looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
- different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating'
- your dissertation the evening before going to press.
+- Update support for linguistic subexamples.
- LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
- internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the
- Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
+- Support key symbols via menukeys package (part of bug 10641).
-You can download LyX 1.6.0rc1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
-which yields smaller files):
- ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc1.tar.gz
- ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc1.tar.bz2
+* TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS
-Note that due to the amount of change, no patch is provided to upgrade
-from version 1.5.6.
+- Add support for multirow (bug 11164).
-Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
-installers) should soon be available at
- ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/devel/
+- Improve import of titling commands other than \maketitle (bug 6461).
-If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.0rc1, you may either
-e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open
-a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org
+- Add support for horizontal longtabular alignment.
-If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question,
-first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there,
-e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).
