5 (I'd rather have the below in the CG. -gp)
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
17 generating the RSS feed; in case the message (and thus the date)
18 is not in English, you must write a well-formed date in English
19 like above in a comment between the closing brace of @emph and the
21 (see "Japanese translation" below for an example).
23 * Split news items in small chunks. It's OK to have more than 1 item
26 * don't duplicate entries from news-front.itexi

4407 @subsubheading April 25, 2005 - 2.5.21 released!
4408 2.5.21 has more bugfixes. It also has support for "grid
4409 lines", bar like vertical line, which are aligned with the notes. The

4413 @ref{Old downloads})
4418 @subsubheading April 18, 2005
4419 LilyPond 2.5.20 has lots of bugfixes, in particular, MIDI files of
4420 multi-movement pieces don't overwrite each other. Version 2.5.20 also
4421 supports putting arrows on lines, such as glissandi.
4422 More details are in the
4424 file, or go straight to @ref{Old downloads}.
4429 @subsubheading April 15, 2005
4430 LilyPond 2.5.19 was released. The command `\epsfile' allows inclusion
4431 of EPS graphics into markup texts and the music function
4432 `\musicDisplay' will display a music expression as indented
4433 Scheme code. Take a look at
4435 file and @ref{Old downloads}.
4440 @subsubheading April 6, 2005
4441 2.5.18 is a bugfix release. It has many small cleanups in the
4442 web-based documentation, and many small cleanups all over the
4443 place. @ref{Old downloads}
4448 @subsubheading March 31, 2005
4449 2.5.17 is out. This release features many small bugfixes. In addition,

4457 LilyPond 2.5.16 is out. This release fixes a few minor but irritating
4458 errors. A Fedora Core 3 binary is also available.
4464 @subsubheading March 14, 2005
4465 LilyPond 2.5.15 is out. This release has clean ups in the SVG output,
4466 and now uses the LilyPond number font for time signatures. It is
4467 now possible to add text before and after music. This can be used to
4468 add verses after a music. Take a look at the @ref{Changes}
4469 file and @ref{Old downloads}!
4474 @subsubheading March 7, 2005
4475 LilyPond 2.5.14 is out. It is now possible (and in fact, encouraged),
4476 to build LilyPond either without the Kpathsea TeX library or with the
4477 Kpathsea dynamically loaded, but only for the -btex backend. This
4478 means that packages do not have to depend on TeX anymore. With this,
4479 the Windows download size will go down significantly. Take a look at
4481 file and download @ref{Old downloads}!
4486 @subsubheading March 7, 2005
4487 LilyPond 2.4.5 is out. This release backports the tieWaitForNote
4488 feature and has support for tetex-3.0.
4494 @subsubheading February 28, 2005
4495 LilyPond 2.5.13 is available for Fedora Core 3. You need to install @uref{http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/Fedora-3/ghostscript-8.15rc3-0.i386.rpm,ESP
4496 Ghostscript 8.15rc3}. Unfortunately, this version of Ghostscript
4497 lacks the IJS dynamic library, which means that it will conflict with
4498 the gimp-print package. You may install it with --nodeps. Use at your

4514 The @uref{http://lsr.di.unimi.it/,LilyPond Snippet
4515 Repository (LSR)} is a searchable database of LilyPond code
4516 snippets. You can add snippets too, so join the LSR project, and
4517 contribute creative ideas for using LilyPond.
4522 @subsubheading February 21, 2005
4523 LilyPond 2.5.12 is out. The big news is that this release supports
4524 TrueType fonts. This means that it is now possible to use @strong{all}
4525 fonts available via FontConfig. Also, arpeggios may be written out
4526 using ties and individual objects may have colors! Take a look at
4528 file and @ref{Old downloads}!
4533 @subsubheading February 4, 2005
4534 LilyPond 2.5.11 is out. In this
4535 release, foreign character sets are now supported in lilypond-book
4536 too, and it is possible to put system separators between systems.

4543 LilyPond 2.5.10 is out. This release
4544 sports as new EPS backend, based on the PS backend. This backend is
4545 used in the new and improved lilypond-book script.
4551 @subsubheading January 26, 2005
4552 LilyPond 2.5.9 is out. This release fixes a couple of annoying
4553 bugs in the direct PS output for piano braces.
4559 @subsubheading January 16, 2005
4560 LilyPond 2.5.8 is out. This
4561 release has many internal code cleanups. In addition,
4562 accuracy of error reporting has been improved.

4571 @subsubheading January 11, 2005
4572 LilyPond 2.5.7 is out. This release has a completely usable
4573 Pango integration for the PS backend. The default font is
4574 Century Schoolbook from the PS font suite. It also has
4575 small updates to the tablature settings by Erlend Aasland,
4576 assorted manual updates by Graham, and an overhaul of the
4577 font code by Werner.

4585 @subsubheading January 02, 2005
4586 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
4587 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
4588 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
4589 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
4590 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
4591 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
4592 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
4593 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
4594 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

4603 LilyPond 2.5.5 is out. It is the first one to link against
4604 FontConfig and Pango, although it is only available in the "-f
4605 ps" output. The default output format has been changed back TeX

4614 @subsubheading December 20, 2004
4615 LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major
4616 brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads
4617 the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.
4618 This has made a lot of things simpler, including font
4619 handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend.

4627 @subsubheading December 3, 2004
4628 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has
4629 been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo
4630 on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with
4631 `\column', `\center-align', etc, are not grouped with `< ...
4632 >' anymore, but with `@{ ... @}'. LilyPond will now avoid line
4633 breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page

4644 @subsubheading November 26, 2004
4645 LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies,
4646 including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier
4647 mechanism for customizing title, footer and header
4648 layout. Don't forget to rebuild the fonts, as they have been
4649 changed to accomodate the solfa-notation.

4657 @subsubheading November 20, 2004
4658 LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
4659 containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
4660 layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
4661 and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
4662 remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
4663 part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
4664 gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
4665 SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,

4674 @subsubheading November 12, 2004
4675 The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first
4676 release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features:
4677 Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace
4678 notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue
4679 notes, Cue notes can now be created with
4682 \cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
4685 Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
4686 In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
4687 code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
4688 the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
4689 applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

4699 problems with --safe, and adds a lot of polishing fixes.
4705 @subsubheading November 4, 2004

4760 @subsubheading October 24, 2004
4761 LilyPond 2.3.23 has bugfixes in the documentation, lilypond-book and

4796 LilyPond 2.3.20 was released. It fixes the biggest problems
4797 with encoding and the TeX backend. As a result, latin1
4798 characters (like the german SS) show up correctly in the
4799 output once again. Also it has the usual bugfixes and updates

4826 @subsubheading September 20, 2004
4827 LilyPond 2.3.18 was released. It has further improvements in
4828 the slur formatting, and a small syntax change: the mode
4829 changing commands (`\chords', `\lyrics', etc.) have been
4830 renamed to `\chordmode', `\lyricmode', etc. The command

4841 @subsubheading September 11, 2004
4842 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
4843 bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
4844 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
4845 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
4846 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
4847 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
4848 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
4849 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
4850 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
4851 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
4852 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
4853 will hold users back in switching.

4861 @subsubheading September 10, 2004
4862 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
4863 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
4864 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
4865 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
4866 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
4867 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

4876 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
4877 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a
4878 page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key
4879 signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line;
4880 different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each

4889 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
4890 LilyPond now has a Documentation
4891 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
4892 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
4893 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
4894 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
4895 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
4896 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
4897 chapter of the user manual.
4898 A lot of cheers for Graham!
4903 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
4904 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
4905 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
4906 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
4907 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
4908 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
4909 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

4929 LilyPond 2.3.12 is out. This release has a lot of fixes and
4930 a new feature: there is now support for putting two slurs on
4931 chords, both above and below. This is switched on with the
4932 `doubleSlurs' property.

4941 LilyPond 2.3.11 is out. This release basically is 2.3.10 with a few
4942 annoying bugs fixed.

4950 @subsubheading August 1, 2004
4951 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
4952 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
4953 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
4954 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
4955 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
4956 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
4959 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
4960 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan
4962 There is a new markup command `\postscript' that takes a string
4963 that is dumped as verbatim PostScript

4973 @subsubheading July 30, 2004
4974 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
4975 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
4976 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
4977 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
4978 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
4979 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
4980 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
4981 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
4982 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
4983 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

4992 LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code,
4993 and has rewritten support for ledger lines. Now, in tight
4994 situations, ledger lines will be shortened so they stay
4995 separate. This also required a cleanup of the Ambitus

5004 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
5005 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
5006 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
5007 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
5008 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
5009 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
5010 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
5011 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
5012 beat within the measure.
