-========================================
+Public release of LyX version 2.3.1
+===================================
 
-We are proud to announce the release candidate of LyX 2.1.0.
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.1. This is the first
+maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. 
 
-With this release, LyX celebrates 18 years of existence. The 2.1 series
-has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series.

-LyX 2.1.0 is the culmination of three years 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 2.1.0 from http://www.lyx.org/Download.
+LyX 2.3.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more 
+reliable and more stable. <CONTINUE>
 
-We hope you will enjoy the result!
+All python scripts distributed with LyX should now be compatible with both
+python 2.x and python 3.x.
 
-The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
-to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that 
-packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
+One oft-requested enhancement was to restore a keyboard shortcut for opening
+the 'settings' menu of graphics, reference, etc, insets. This is now Control-
+Alt-i, on Windows and Linux, and Control-Option-i on OSX (assuming you are
+using the default keybindings).
 
-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 2.1.0, either
