+Public release of LyX version 2.5.3
+===================================
+
+We are pleased to announce the release the LyX 2.5.3, the third maintenance
+release in the 2.5.x series.
+
+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.
+
+If you think you may have found a bug in LyX 2.5.3, either email the
developers'
+mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at
+ https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
+Please specify if the behavior you are reporting is different from behavior in
+a previous LyX version. Please note that we have had to disable registration
+for new accounts due to spam. If you would like an account, email the LyX
+developers' list.
+
+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).
