+Public release of LyX version 2.4.0
+===================================
+
+We are proud to announce the release of the new LyX 2.4 series.
+
+After long 6 years of development the 2.4 series has a rich set
+of new features compared to the current stable series.
+An overview of the new features can be found here:
+
+ https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX24
+
+As this release ships with new features, we strongly recommend that packagers
+of LyX on various platforms and distributions read RELEASE-NOTES in order to
+get the new dependencies right.
+
+You can download LyX 2.4.0 from https://www.lyx.org/Download
+
+We hope you will enjoy the result!
+
+If a file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with
+any version of 2.4.x, then the original file will automatically be
+backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one
+is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as
+the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the
+backup file will be:
+ ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~
+where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of
+2.3.x file, this will be 544, but in the case of older files it will be
+different.
+
+The file RELEASE-NOTES also lists some known issues and problems compared
+to the current stable releases (LyX 2.3.x).
+
+As with any major release, this one comes with a lot of new features but
+also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.4.0, either
+email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
+or open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome .
+Please specify if the behavior you are reporting is different from behavior
+in a previous LyX version.
+
+If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
+documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
+will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX users'
+list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).
+
+The LyX team.
