+@subheading Lilypond 2.18.0 released! @emph{December 29, 2013}
+
+We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.0.
+LilyPond is a music engraving program devoted to producing the
+highest-quality sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of
+traditionally engraved music to computer printouts.
+
+Among the numerous improvements and changes, the following might
+be most visible:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Many items are now positioned using their actual outline rather
+than a@tie{}rectangular bounding box. This greatly reduces
+the occurrence of unsightly large gaps.
+
+@item
+Sets and overrides can now use the syntax
+@example
+\override Voice.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit."
+@end example
+instead of the previous
+@example
+\override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
+@end example
+
+@item
+Triplets with a given group length can now be written as
+@example
+\tuplet 3/2 4 @{ c8 c c c c c @}
+@end example
+instead of
+@example
+\times 2/3 @{ c8 c c @} \times 2/3 @{ c8 c c @}
+@end example
+@end itemize
+
+A full list of noteworthy new features is given in:
+
+@example

+
+Great thanks go to the large number of LilyPond enthusiasts whose
+financial backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to
+focus exclusively on LilyPond during the entire development cycle.
