12 @subsubheading LilyPond 2.17.14 released! @emph{March 10, 2013}
14 We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.17.14. This
15 release contains the usual number of bugfixes (including putting span bars back
16 where they should be) and enhancements, and contains
17 some work in progress. You will have access to the very latest features, but
18 some may be incomplete, and you may encounter bugs and crashes. If you require
19 a stable version of Lilypond, we recommend using the 2.16 version.
