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)

3697 TrueType fonts. This means that it is now possible to use @strong{all}
3698 fonts available via FontConfig. Also, arpeggios may be written out
3699 using ties and individual objects may have colors! Take a look at
3701 file and @ref{Old downloads}!
3706 @subsubheading February 4, 2005
3707 LilyPond 2.5.11 is out. In this
3708 release, foreign character sets are now supported in lilypond-book
3709 too, and it is possible to put system separators between systems.

3716 LilyPond 2.5.10 is out. This release
3717 sports as new EPS backend, based on the PS backend. This backend is
3718 used in the new and improved lilypond-book script.
3724 @subsubheading January 26, 2005
3725 LilyPond 2.5.9 is out. This release fixes a couple of annoying
3726 bugs in the direct PS output for piano braces.
3732 @subsubheading January 16, 2005
3733 LilyPond 2.5.8 is out. This
3734 release has many internal code cleanups. In addition,
3735 accuracy of error reporting has been improved.

3744 @subsubheading January 11, 2005
3745 LilyPond 2.5.7 is out. This release has a completely usable
3746 Pango integration for the PS backend. The default font is
3747 Century Schoolbook from the PS font suite. It also has
3748 small updates to the tablature settings by Erlend Aasland,
3749 assorted manual updates by Graham, and an overhaul of the
3750 font code by Werner.

3758 @subsubheading January 02, 2005
3759 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
3760 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
3761 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
3762 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
3763 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
3764 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
3765 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
3766 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
3767 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

3776 LilyPond 2.5.5 is out. It is the first one to link against
3777 FontConfig and Pango, although it is only available in the "-f
3778 ps" output. The default output format has been changed back TeX

3787 @subsubheading December 20, 2004
3788 LilyPond 2.5.4 is out. This release has some major
3789 brainsurgery in the font handling. As of now, LilyPond loads
3790 the music fonts in OpenType font format using FreeType.
3791 This has made a lot of things simpler, including font
3792 handling for the GNOME backend and SVG backend.

3800 @subsubheading December 3, 2004
3801 LilyPond 2.5.3 was released. A new script, `\espressivo' has
3802 been added, for a combination of crescendo and decrescendo
3803 on a single note. In markups, expressions stacked with
3804 `\column', `\center-align', etc, are not grouped with `< ...
3805 >' anymore, but with `@{ ... @}'. LilyPond will now avoid line
3806 breaks that cause long texts to stick outside of the page

3818 LilyPond 2.5.2 was released. It has several goodies,
3819 including solfa-notation (shaped noteheads), and an easier
3820 mechanism for customizing title, footer and header
3821 layout. Don't forget to rebuild the fonts, as they have been
3822 changed to accomodate the solfa-notation.

3830 @subsubheading November 20, 2004
3831 LilyPond 2.5.1 is out. This is an experimental release,
3832 containing some proof-of-concept code for our graphical
3833 layout editor. You can add and remove things from the file,
3834 and the tweaks will still work, as long as the tweaked notes
3835 remain in the place (ie. start at the same time-wise and be
3836 part of the same context). Further attractions are: the
3837 gnome backend now also draws beams and slurs, updates to the
3838 SVG backend, support for the lmodern font set for TeX,

3847 @subsubheading November 12, 2004
3848 The LilyPond development is OPEN once again! The first
3849 release of the 2.5 series has the following new Features:
3850 Positioning of slurs can now be adjusted manually, Grace
3851 notes are correctly quoted and formatted when using cue
3852 notes, Cue notes can now be created with
3855 \cueDuring #VOICE-NAME #DIRECTION { MUSIC }
3858 Stemlets (short stems over beamed rests) have been added.
3859 In addition, Jan hacked together some highly experimental
3860 code where you can use the mouse to drag and drop objects in
3861 the -f gnome backend. These tweaks can be saved and are
3862 applied to the PS and TeX output as well.

3969 LilyPond 2.3.20 was released. It fixes the biggest problems
3970 with encoding and the TeX backend. As a result, latin1

4000 LilyPond 2.3.18 was released. It has further improvements in
4001 the slur formatting, and a small syntax change: the mode
4002 changing commands (`\chords', `\lyrics', etc.) have been
4003 renamed to `\chordmode', `\lyricmode', etc. The command

4014 @subsubheading September 11, 2004
4015 LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
4016 bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
4017 pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
4018 penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
4019 input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
4020 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
4021 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
4022 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
4023 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
4024 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
4025 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
4026 will hold users back in switching.

4035 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
4036 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
4037 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
4038 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
4039 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
4040 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

4049 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
4050 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a
4051 page, but it will stretch distances to prevent collisions; key
4052 signature cancellations are now printed before the bar line;
4053 different voices that all use "\quote" can now refer to each

4062 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
4063 LilyPond now has a Documentation
4064 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
4065 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
4066 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
4067 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
4068 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
4069 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
4070 chapter of the user manual.
4071 A lot of cheers for Graham!
4076 @subsubheading August 29, 2004
4077 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
4078 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
4079 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
4080 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
4081 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
4082 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

4102 LilyPond 2.3.12 is out. This release has a lot of fixes and

4124 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
4125 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
4126 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
4127 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
4128 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
4129 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
4132 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
4133 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan

4146 @subsubheading July 30, 2004
4147 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
4148 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
4149 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
4150 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
4151 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
4152 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
4153 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
4154 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
4155 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
4156 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

4165 LilyPond 2.3.8 fixes a few minor bugs in the new slur code,

4177 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
4178 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
4179 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
4180 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
4181 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
4182 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
4183 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
4184 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
4185 beat within the measure.
