8 * avoid "HERE" as name for links, use descriptive link names like
9 @uref{,Download LilyPond 2.5.16}
11 * avoid putting links in running text. They make text harder to read.
12 Preferably: (@uref{,...}, etc. )
14 * use a descriptive title in @subsubheading
16 * writing date in "Month DD, YYYY" format is required for

3696 Kpathsea dynamically loaded, but only for the -btex backend. This
3697 means that packages do not have to depend on TeX anymore. With this,
3698 the Windows download size will go down significantly. Take a look at

3742 LilyPond 2.5.12 is out. The big news is that this release supports
3743 TrueType fonts. This means that it is now possible to use @strong{all}
3744 fonts available via FontConfig. Also, arpeggios may be written out

3791 LilyPond 2.5.7 is out. This release has a completely usable

3793 Century Schoolbook from the PS font suite. It also has

3795 assorted manual updates by Graham, and an overhaul of the

3804 @subsubheading January 02, 2005
3805 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
3806 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
3807 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
3808 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
3809 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
3810 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
3811 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
3812 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
3813 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

3822 LilyPond 2.5.5 is out. It is the first one to link against

3833 @subsubheading December 20, 2004
3834 LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major
3835 brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads
3836 the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.
3837 This has made a lot of things simpler, including font
3838 handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend.

3847 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has
3848 been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo
3849 on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with
3850 `\column', `\center-align', etc, are not grouped with `< ...
3851 >' anymore, but with `@{ ... @}'. LilyPond will now avoid line
3852 breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page

3864 LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies,
3865 including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier
3866 mechanism for customizing title, footer and header
3867 layout. Don't forget to rebuild the fonts, as they have been

3877 LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
3878 containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
3879 layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
3880 and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
3881 remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
3882 part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
3883 gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
3884 SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,

3894 The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first
3895 release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features:
3896 Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace
3897 notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue
3898 notes, Cue notes can now be created with
3901 \cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
3904 Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
3905 In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
3906 code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
3907 the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
3908 applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

4015 LilyPond 2.3.20 was released. It fixes the biggest problems
4016 with encoding and the TeX backend. As a result, latin1

4048 changing commands (`\chords', `\lyrics', etc.) have been
4049 renamed to `\chordmode', `\lyricmode', etc. The command

4060 @subsubheading September 11, 2004
4061 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
4062 bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
4063 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
4064 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
4065 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
4066 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
4067 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
4068 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
4069 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
4070 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
4071 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
4072 will hold users back in switching.

4081 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
4082 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
4083 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
4084 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
4085 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
4086 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

4095 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
4096 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a
4097 page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key
4098 signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line;
4099 different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each

4109 LilyPond now has a Documentation
4110 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
4111 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
4112 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
4113 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
4114 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
4115 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
4116 chapter of the user manual.
4117 A lot of cheers for Graham!
4122 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
4123 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
4124 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
4125 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
4126 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
4127 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
4128 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

4170 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
4171 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
4172 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
4173 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
4174 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
4175 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
4178 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
4179 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan

4192 @subsubheading July 30, 2004
4193 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
4194 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
4195 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
4196 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
4197 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
4198 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
4199 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
4200 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
4201 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
4202 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

4211 LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code,

4223 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
4224 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
4225 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
4226 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
4227 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
4228 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
4229 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
4230 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
4231 beat within the measure.
