3 Translation of GIT committish: 237c057a35d03a9f9114665d8dee9d8ec4b8c251
5 When revising a translation, copy the HEAD committish of the
6 version that you are working on. For details, see the Contributors'
7 Guide, node Updating translation committishes..
12 (I'd rather have the below in the CG. -gp)
15 * avoid "HERE" as name for links, use descriptive link names like
16 @uref{,Download LilyPond 2.5.16}
18 * avoid putting links in running text. They make text harder to read.
19 Preferably: (@uref{,...}, etc. )
21 * use a descriptive title in @subsubheading
23 * writing date in "Month DD, YYYY" format is required for
24 generating the RSS feed; in case the message (and thus the date)
25 is not in English, you must write a well-formed date in English
26 like above in a comment between the closing brace of @emph and the
28 (see "Japanese translation" below for an example).
30 * Split news items in small chunks. It's OK to have more than 1 item
33 * don't duplicate entries from news-front.itexi

2041 LilyPond 2.5.20 has lots of bugfixes, in particular, MIDI files of
2042 multi-movement pieces don't overwrite each other. Version 2.5.20 also
2043 supports putting arrows on lines, such as glissandi.

2208 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
2209 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
2210 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
2211 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
2212 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
2213 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
2214 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
2215 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
2216 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

2250 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has

2464 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying

2466 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
2467 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
2468 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.

2470 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
2471 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
2472 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
2473 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output

2596 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
2597 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
2598 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
2599 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
2600 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
2601 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
2602 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
2603 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
2604 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
2605 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

2626 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
2627 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
2628 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
2629 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
2630 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
2631 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
2632 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
2633 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
2634 beat within the measure.
