Public release of LyX version 2.0.6
===================================
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.6. This is the sixth
maintenance release in the 2.0.x series.
LyX 2.0.6 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. These are detailed below. We encourage all
LyX users to upgrade to this version.
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.

If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.6, 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 2.0.6.
The LyX team.
