Title:
  [SRU] Update to maintenance release 2.2.4 in Bionic

Status in lyx package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  http://www.lyx.org/announce/2_2_4.txt

  Public release of LyX version 2.2.4
  ===================================

  We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.2.4. This is the fourth and
  final maintenance release in the 2.2.x series. 

  You can download LyX 2.2.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

  LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based 
  on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
  released under a Free and Open Source Software license.

  LyX 2.2.4 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more 
  reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made several 
  improvements. Most users, however, will want to upgrade to LyX 2.3.0, which 
  was released shortly before 2.2.4. Users who want or need to continue using
  the 2.2.x series, however, should in most cases upgrade to 2.2.4. Perhaps its
  most important new feature is that it is able to read and write files in the
  2.3.x format. Please note, however, that the conversion process back and forth 
  usually will not leave one with an identical file, so we do not recommend that
  users of 2.2.4 try to collaborate with users of 2.3.x.

  We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.2.4.

  The LyX team.
