+            <p>This release fixes a number of mostly minor bugs in 2.5.0. One important fix
+            concerns crashes when exiting LyX on OSX, specifically when documents are still
+            open. We have also fixed a handful of bugs with the new input method support.
+            If you should encounter any more, please do let us know. </p>
+
+            <p>There are two changes in how we distribute source code. First, we are no longer distributing gzipped tarballs (tar.gz), since xz provides much better compression and is supported on all platforms. Second, we will not provide patch files, since these seem to be unused now. When internet connections were slow, they made sense, but not now. That said, if either of these changes poses a problem for you, please let us know. </p>
