 !!Changes with respect to external programs and libraries in 2.2:
 
-* LyX is not yet supposed to work with Qt5. It is advised to compile and
-  run LyX against Qt 4.8.x. On Windows Qt 4.8.6 or newer is advised.
+* LyX 2.2.0 and the following 2.2.x releases will continue to work well with
+  Qt 4.5 (and later Qt 4.x) but will also support Qt 5.6, which brings some
+  advantages most notably for users with HiDPI displays. Note that if you
+  compile LyX with a Qt 5 release before 5.6 you are likely to run into
+  several regressions with respect to Qt 4.x. See #9215 for a list of bugs
+  related to compiling LyX with different versions of Qt.
 
 * LyX now gives an error if the underlying LaTeX command exited with error.
 
-* With LuaTeX, LyX now uses polyglossia instead of babel if the language
-  package option "Automatic" is selected. In order to use babel, select
-  "Always babel" instead.

 !!Known issues in version 2.2.0
 
 * LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems
-  where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix
-  this properly, since simple shebang conversion in *.py files will not

+* If using LyX with Qt 4, it is possible to suddenly get keyboard keys wrong,

+  starting LyX as 'XMODIFIERS= lyx'. For further discussion and alternative
