The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.

As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.0, either email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at our bug tracker.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki. You can also send email to the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).
