Public release of LyX version 2.0.8
===================================

We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.8. This is the eighth
and final maintenance release in the 2.0.x series.

LyX 2.0.8 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. 

The main "feature" of LyX 2.0.8 is the ability to read and write LyX
files in the 2.1.x format. Users who do not wish to upgrade to 2.1.0,
which is being released simultaneously, are encouraged to upgrade to
2.0.8.

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.

You can download LyX 2.0.8 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.8, either e-mail the LyX
developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org), or open a bug
report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX 
users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.0.8.

The LyX team.
