+We are pleased to announce the release the LyX 2.5.3, the third maintenance
release in the 2.5.x series.
-This release is somewhat special. Apart from usual bag of bugfixes we also
-include number of fixes to vulnerabilities dicovered in cooperation with AI
-tools.
+This release fixes a number of mostly minor bugs in 2.5.2. One important fix
+restores the captions in starred environments---and explains why this release
+comes so soon after 2.5.2.
-We strongly urge our users to upgrade from previous releases, especially
-if they routinely use/exchange .lyx documents with external parties.
-In previous versions of LyX, malformed .lyx documents can cause arbitrary
-execution of shell commands upon .lyx load or within export processing.
-
-As the capabilities of frontier AI models quickly develop this might not
-be the last such release and we suggest that users employ extreme caution
-when dealing with files from untrusted sources.
-
-This release fixes a number of mostly minor bugs in 2.5.1. One important fix
-solves the regression introduced in 2.5.1 which caused LyX not to store Qt
-session configuration (e.g. size and position of windows).
