+We are proud to announce the release LyX 2.4.4, the fourth maintenance
release in the 2.4.x series.
-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.

+One important fix concerns the generation of previews. In certain cases, the
dvipng script will throw an error due to its inability to determine the
+number of output pages. This requires a re-run of LaTeX, which we can easily
+do, but detecting this error has proven more difficult than one might expect.
+The problem has been solved for dvipng versions >= 1.16. With earlier versions,
+LyX will 'fall back' to the legacy method for generating previews. These will
+be of lower quality, and various messages will be output to the terminal. If
+this bothers you, please upgrade your version of dvipng.
