+We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of LyX 2.0.0.
+
+Since the last beta releases became stable enough for a regular work
+we switched to release candidate, freezed new development and focused
+on bugfixing to make the final release even more polished.
+
+Except usual bugfixing.. 
+
+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.
+
+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.
 
 Tarballs and binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/
