!!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2:
-* LyX is not yet supposed to work with Qt5. It is advised to compile and
- run LyX against Qt 4.8.x. On Windows Qt 4.8.6 or newer is advised.
+* LyX 2.2.0 and the following 2.2.x releases will continue to work well with
+ Qt 4.5 (and later Qt 4.x) but will also support Qt 5.6, which brings some
+ advantages most notably for users with HiDPI displays. Note that if you
+ compile LyX with a Qt 5 release before 5.6 you are likely to run into
+ several regressions with respect to Qt 4.x. See #9215 for a list of bugs
+ related to compiling LyX with different versions of Qt.
* LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
-* With LuaTeX, LyX now uses polyglossia instead of babel if the language
- package option "Automatic" is selected. In order to use babel, select
- "Always babel" instead.

!!Known issues in version 2.2.0
compile with error. However, because now in 2.2.x users can click on
the "Show Output Anyway" button, the document can still be viewed.
-* With XeTeX and LuaTeX, missing characters in the output are now reported
- as errors. This leads to error reports for documents that compiled without
- error before. However, the error was always present but went undetected!

* Documents using Times fonts and containing Greek characters may now fail
to compile under pdflatex for users of MikTeX due to an automatically
half-installed "grtimes" package. A workaround in LyX was removed as it
stands in the way of alternative approaches (see bug #6469).

+* With LuaTeX, LyX now uses polyglossia instead of babel if the language
+ package option "Automatic" is selected. In order to use babel, select
+ "Always babel" instead. This may be needed if a document uses code that
+ is specific to babel.
