+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.2. This is the second
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
-You can download LyX 2.3.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
-LyX 2.3.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
-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.
-
-One oft-requested enhancement was to restore a keyboard shortcut for opening
-the 'settings' menu of graphics, reference, etc, insets. This is now Control-
-Alt-i, on Windows and Linux, and Control-Option-i on OSX (assuming you are
-using the default keybindings).
-
-A change to how math macros are output can break some documents that use
-ERT to comment out macros. Please see bug #11216 if you experience this sort
-of problem.
+LyX 2.3.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
+reliable and more stable. One main fix involves a crash with external viewers
+on Windows. We have also fixed a number of problems with the output of right-
+to-left languages, thanks to the involvement of users. There was also an
+infinite loop bug connected with the separation of environments that has been
+fixed. But, for the most part, the fixes here are incremental. Please see below
+for a full list.
