For some reason, the source files seem to have disappeared when I
uploaded the binaries. I'll fix it when I get home.

Hi,

I cannot find any 2.2.3 release (neither tar.gz nor tar.xz) at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/2.2.x/
It seems that 2.2.3 is available only from devel (
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/2.2/  -- modified: May 08 2017)

I'll wait, and thanks for this new release.

The original email is just plain text. MacMail is highlighting it as a
link. Thunderbird does the same. I see it even in your email. This is
something those programs are doing: They think it's a URL (without an
explicit protocol, which they assume is http), so they highlight it.
It's not a URL, though, so they're just wrong in this case.
