 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.
 
-LyX 2.3.6 is the sixth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. It is the 
-result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and 
-more stable. Most of the changes are fairly minor, fixes of smallish bugs, 
-but a couple crashes have been fixed, as well.

-One oft-requested feature (going back 13 years) is the ability to create
-new child documents from within the 'include file' dialog. This is now
-possible. Another equally old bug that has been fixed is that pasting
-table content outside a table no longer pastes tab characters.
