+Public release of LyX version 2.3.2
+===================================
-We are proud to announce the second public alpha release of the new LyX 2.2
-series.
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.2. This is the second
+maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
-With this release, LyX celebrates 20 years of existence. The 2.2 series
-has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series.
+You can download LyX 2.3.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
-LyX 2.2.0alpha2 is the culmination of a year and a half of hard work. An overview of
-the new features can be found here:

+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.
-You can download LyX 2.2.0alpha2 from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/.
+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.
+

+really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
+<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.
-We hope you will enjoy the result!

+that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which

+LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
+active community of people who are ready to help.

-to the current stable releases (LyX 2.1.x). We strongly recommend that
-packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
-
-As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
-also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.2.0, either
