-Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)
-==================================================
+Public release of LyX version 2.0.0
+===================================
 
-We are pleased to announce the second release candidate of LyX 2.0.0.
+We are proud to announce the public release of LyX 2.0.0.
 
-Due to the numerous requests we added more sets of toolbar icons (based on
-Oxygen and LibreOffice themes) which can be easily changed in preferences.
+With this release, LyX celebrates 15 years of existence, and we start 
+a new family of 2.x releases to acknowledge LyX's passing from a child
+to an adult. We hope you will celebrate this anniversary with us.
 
-The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
-to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read
-this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions.
+LyX 2.0.0 is the culmination of two and half years of hard work. This 
+release begins a new series of 2.0.x which will incrementally improve its 
+stability as the time passes.
+
+An overview of the new features can be found here:
+  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20
 
-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.
+You can download LyX 2.0.0 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
 
-Tarballs and binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/
+We hope you will enjoy the result!
