-Public release of LyX version 2.4.2

===================================

+We are proud to announce the release LyX 2.4.3, the third maintenance
release in the 2.4.x series.
-This is almost entirely a bug-fixing release, with no significant new
-features. However, some crashes have been fixed, and we have made some
-significant improvements to display speed, which will be especially
-noticeable on older or slower systems.
-
-There has been a change (as of 2.4.0) in how the option to use vertical
-space between paragraphs is handled. Previously, LyX simply modified
-\parskip and \parindent, but this caused various problems (see bug
-#4796). Now, we use the parskip package. As a result, however, and
-to ensure there are no changes to old documents, when LyX files from
-2.3.x and earlier are converted to the new format, if they were set to
-use vertical space between paragraphs, the lyx2lyx conversion routine
-adds
- % Added by lyx2lyx
- \setlength{\parskip}{\smallskipamount}
- \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
-to the preamble and, within LyX itself, resets the text layout to use
-indentation (so we do not issue the new code for vertical spacing). The
-net effect is that PDFs generated with LaTeX (etc) look right, but in
-LyX itself indentation is used.
-
-This will happen with any document created with 2.3.x or older. It can
-also happen with documents created from templates created with 2.3.x
-or older, and even with new documents, if you had previously set them to
-use, by default, vertical space. Templates are just LyX files saved in
-the templates/ folder, and the 'defaults' are simply saved in a
-template file, defaults.lyx. Hence, if you want the new behavior, or
-just want the LyX document to look `right', then you will need to make
-two changes to the document or template: Remove what lyx2lyx added, and
-then set Paragraph Separation to Vertical Space.
-
-You can download LyX 2.4.2 from https://www.lyx.org/Download.
+This is mostly a bug-fixing release. Most of the bugs are minor, but
+there was one significant one (13118) concerning the loading order of
+the fancyhdr package that was causing errors in page layout. In terms of
+updates, the most significant are that it is not possible to insert
+cross-references from the outliner, even to sections that have not yet
+been given a label. In that case, the label is automatically created.
+There has also been a major update to the Swedish localization.
