+@item Running trills now have their own spanner and event,
+for example,
+
+@example
+ c1\startTrillSpan c4\stopTrillSpan
+@end example
+
+@item There is a new markup command @code{\postscript} that takes a
+string that is dumped as verbatim PostScript in the output.
+
+@item The melody for a @code{\lyricsto} text can be changed during a
+melody by setting the @code{associatedVoice} property.
+
+@item The @code{\lyricsto} keyword now automatically switches on
+@code{\lyrics} mode.
+
+@item The LilyPond binary now supports output options
+@code{--dvi} @code{--png} @code{--ps} @code{--pdf} and
+@code{--preview}. The old wrapper script for La@TeX{} has been
+renamed to @code{lilypond-latex}.
+
+@item Support ambituses has been rewritten. The Ambitus object is now
+a grouping object, composed of @code{AmbitusLine},
+@code{AmbitusAccidental} and @code{AmbitusNoteHead}. These objects may
+be tuned similar to accidentals and note heads.
+
+@item Ledger lines are now shortened when the spacing is tight. This
+prevents ledger lines from colliding with each other.
+
+@item Slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
+works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for all
+esthetic components of a slur. A large number of combinations for
+begin and end points is then tried out. Slurs will now also take into
+account collisions with staff lines, scripts (like staccato and
+accent) and accidentals.
+
+
+@item In the LilyPond emacs mode, entering @code{|} will display the
+ current beat within the measure.
+
+@item Colliding notes are now correctly aligned relative to notes in other staves.
+
+@item An experimental GNOME output backend is available for developers.
+It depends on several unreleased packages such as gnome-guile TLA and
+Pango CVS. The output interface coverage is sparse, but it already
+does support point-and-click on the GNOME Canvas. See also
+@file{scm/output-gnome.scm}.
