!!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 4.8.6 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 4.8.6. 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.
