+Public release of LyX version 2.3.8
+===================================
+
+We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.8. This is the eighth
+and final maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. LyX 2.4.0 will be released
+very shortly, so many users may wish to wait for that rather than upgrading
+to 2.3.8. Some users, however, may want or need to continue using the 2.3.x
+series. We encourage those users to upgrade to this version.
+
+You can download LyX 2.3.8 from https://www.lyx.org/Download/.
+
+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 2.3.8 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
+more reliable and more stable. Several bugs and crashes have been fixed here,
+but the main addition is the ability to import and export files in the new
+2.4.x format.
+
+If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.8, please open a bug report at
+https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
+really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
+<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.
+
+If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
+that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
+is at https://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
+LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
+active community of people who are ready to help.
+
+We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.8.
+
+The LyX team.
