This is the second +maintenance release in the 2.2.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 2.2.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. -LyX 2.2.0alpha2 is the culmination of a year and a half of hard work.

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 2.2.2 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. Most of these are relatively minor, but we nonetheless +encourage all users of 2.2.1 to upgrade to this version. -We hope you will enjoy the result! +Perhaps the most important bug we fixed affected use of covington.sty with +2.2.1. This will only have affected users of the Linguistics module. -The file lib/RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared -to the current stable releases (LyX 2.1.x). We strongly recommend that -packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file. +One new feature is the use of the "scaling" option when exporting images +for XHTML. This does not work the same way as with LaTeX export. What it +does is add something like "width: 50%" to the style attribute. This will +ordinarily be interpreted by the browser as a percentage relative to the +current element. -As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but -also some bugs.
