+What's new in version 1.5.0  (release candidate 2)
+----------------------------
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.0 (release candidate 2).
+We expect this to be the last release before 1.5.0. We do not anticipate
+any further changes before 1.5.0, although any critical bugs and regressions
+in 1.5.0rc2 will, of course, be addressed.
+
+Since the announcement of release candidate 1, we have mostly fixed bugs
+and polished the graphical interface.

+What's new in version 1.5.0  (release candidate 1)
+----------------------------
+
+The difference to the last beta release is due to bug fixes only,
+no new features are allowed at this stage of development. The only
+exception to this rule is the addition of Farsi as a supported language
+since the available patch was not integrated in the previous release.
+

 Compared with the previous beta release we have fixed several bugs
-and added some improvements, namely a new inset to support code listings.

+
+ * A new inset to support code listings.
+ * We have enabled the converter file cache by default.
+ * The languages Armenian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are now supported in
+   the user interface.
+   Note that from now on, former encoding settings for these languages
+   done via ERT or the document preamble will lead to LaTeX-errors!
 
 Internally we have renamed files to follow a consistent name pattern,
 this will allow an easier navigation of the source code thus simplifying
