LyX 2.3.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
-reliable and more stable. <CONTINUE>
+reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and added some new
+features. Please see below for a full list. Perhaps the most important of
+these is that Jean-Marc Lasgouttes re-wrote the document painting mechanism.
+This makes LyX snappier, especially on repeated events.
All python scripts distributed with LyX should now be compatible with both
python 2.x and python 3.x.

+What's new
+==========
+
+** Updates:
+***********
+
+* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
+
+- It possible to anonymize document's content for bug submissions
+ via buffer-anonymize lfun (bug 7259).
+
+- Support rotation of multi-page tables via (pdf)lscape (bug 9194).
+
+- Added LFUN_MASTER_BUFFER_EXPORT, which exports the master buffer, along
+ the lines of LFUN_MASTER_BUFFER_VIEW (bug 11118).
+
+- Needauth is not needed for exporting R code (only when executing the code).
+
+- Center longtable explicitly for compatibility with some packages (bug 10690).
+
+- Fix problems with default conversion script for graphics (part of bug 11186).
+
+
+* MISCELLANEOUS
+
+- Updated to Qt5 the LyX server example client in development/lyxserver/
+
+
+* TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS
+
+- Add support for biblatex.
+
+- Add support for chapterbib.
+
+- Add support for \includeonly.
+
+- Add support for beamer overlay arguments (bug 11068).
+
+- Update tex2lyx quotation marks detection:
+ * Consider new quote styles of LyX 2.3.
+ * Consider changed quote styles in LYX 2.3.
+ * Try to be a bit smarter with ambiguous quotation marks,
+ depending on the main quote style and the local context.
+
+- Consider options passed via \PassOptionsToPackage.
+
+- Add support for URW Classico, MinionPro and the new Libertine fonts.
+
+- Add support for \lstinputlisting and \inputminted.
+
+- Add support for the \t*{} (bottomtiebar) macro of TIPA.
+
+- Implement better parsing of some command options (via "literate"
+ function of some insets) (bug 9563).
+
+- Add support for alignment pseudo-environments as used inside floats
+ (bug 7857).
+
+
+* USER INTERFACE
+
+- Overhaul the document painting mechanism. Now the screen is updated
+ asyncronously (as all normal applications do), which makes LyX
+ snappier, especially on repeated events. As an added bonus, subpixel
+ aliasing is honored in the work area.
+
+- Use native file dialogs on all platforms by default. It is now
+ possible to switch to LyX custom dialogs (which have extra shortcuts
+ to relevant directories) by setting the preference
+ \use_native_filedialog true
+
+- Let caret height depend on character size in math editor.
+
+- Handle properly top/bottom of inset with mac-like cursor movement
+ (bug 10701).

+ via the LyX server (e.g., from JabRef).
+
+- Allow unification of graphic groups inside marked block via context
+ menu.
+
+- Cosmetic polishment of the "Math Options" pane of Document Settings
+ (bug 10777).

+ Slovakian and Ukrainian user interface localization.
+
