+What's new in version 2.0.8?
+----------------------------
+
+LyX 2.0.8 is the final release in the 2.0 series. It is intended for
+those who for some reason wish or need to continue using LyX 2.0.x. Most
+users should upgrade to 2.1.0, which is being released simultaneously.
+
+This release incorporates a number of important bug fixes, almost all of
+which are also in 2.1.0. Those that are not will be released with 2.1.1.
+The most important feature of 2.0.8 is that it is capable of reading and
+writing files from LyX 2.1.x. Files from the newer format should open in
+LyX 2.0.8 without the user needing to do anything special.  Files can be
+exported to the 2.1.x format in the usual way: via File> Export.
