-to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read
-this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions.

-As with any major release we come with lot of new features but also
-bugs -- so while we encourage curious users to test this release, people
-who rely on solid and stable application should stay with 1.6 releases.
-Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker.
