+Public release of LyX version 2.4.5
+===================================
+
+We are proud to announce the release LyX 2.4.5, the final maintenance
+release in the 2.4.x series. We have fixed a number of bugs, including some
+crashes.
+
+Most of the development effort since 2.4.4 has been focused on LyX 2.5.0,
+however, and most users will want to upgrade to that version. This version
+is intended primarily for users who need, for some reason, to continue with
+LyX 2.4.x. However, LyX 2.4.5 is able to import files created with LyX
+2.5.x and to export to that format. Please note, however, that going back
+and forth between major versions is not recommended.
+
+One big improvement is that one can now include the symbols system file from
+the corresponding file in the user directory by using "include_system_file".
+This will be equivalent to inserting the system symbols file at that point.
+
+For complete information on what's new and on bugs that have been fixed,
+see the list below.
+
+You can download LyX 2.4.5 from http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/2.4.x/
+and pre-compiled binaries from http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.4.5/.
+
+If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
+documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which
+you will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to
+the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). Bugs can be reported
+on our bug tracker (https://www.lyx.org/trac/) or by writing the
+developers' list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org).

+
+What's new
+==========
+
+** Updates:
+***********
+
+* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
+
+- Correctly parse labels enclosed in braces in mathed (bug 13195).
+
+
+* MISCELLANEOUS
+
+- It is now possible to include the symbols system file from the corresponding
+ file in the user directory by means of the directive "include_system_file".
+ This will be equivalent to inserting the system symbols file at that point.
+ The symbols file is used in mathed and now it is possible to perform own
+ additions/modifications without the need of making a copy in the user dir.
+
+
+* LYX2LYX
+
+- Import and export LyX 2.5.x documents.
+
+
+* USER INTERFACE
+
+- Avoid adding font size insets such as \huge in math mode when using the
+ Text Properties dialog as they are ineffective and only work within
+ text-in-math mode insets such as \textrm or \mbox (bug 13239).
+
+
+** Bug fixes:
+*************
+
+* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
+
+- Fix clash of double \LyXZeroWidthSpace definition.
+

+ (bug 13004).

+- Fix problem when using DeclarePairedDelimiterX (bug 8934).
+
+- Fix reconstruction of last opened documents after crash (bug 12374).
+
+- Fix output problem with list preamble and custom item (bug 13208).
+
+- Fix dvi and postscript command line export on Windows (bug 13235).
+
+- Fix space problem after inline listings (bug 13244).
+
+- Fix macro-related crash after some operations that trigger a dialog.
+
+
+* USER INTERFACE
+
+- Fix tabular metrics crash with with xtabular, varwidth columns and a
+ multicol spanning the whole table.
+
+- Fix crash with macro and super/subscripts (bug 13272).
+
+- Fix crash when a newline inset is at the begining of a Labeling layout.
+
+- Fix false warning when closing document settings with read-only document.
+
+- In mathed, do not wrap \underbar in \text.
+
+- Indent paragraphs after proofs (which are indented in the output).
+
+- Fix pasting of multiple-cell plaintext to tables with cells selected.
+
+- Fix unnecessary reloading of toolbar icons on theme change without
+ (dark/light) mode change with Qt6.
+
+
+* INTERNALS
+
+- Fix warning on Qt6 about unpaired model reset
+
+- Fix crash in spell checker with multi-code UTF-16 characters (bug 13261).
+
+
+* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
+
+- Updated Dutch translation.
+
+
+* LYXHTML
+
+- Fix heading of Bibliography in Table of Contents (part of bug 13189).
+
+- Fix output of bibliography with scrbook (bug 13202).
+
+
