+Dot-separated symbol lists like @code{FretBoard.stencil} were
+already supported as of version@tie{}2.18.  They may now also
+contain unsigned integers, and may alternatively be separated by
+commata.  This allows usage such as
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+{ \time 2,2,1 5/8  g'8 8 8 8 8 }
+@end lilypond
+and

+\tagGroup violin,oboe,bassoon

+Such lists may also be used in expressions for assignments, sets,
+and overrides.  This allows usage such as
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]

+Association list elements could previously be assigned values
+individually (for example, paper variables like
+@code{system-system-spacing.basic-distance}).  They may now be
+also referenced in this manner, as with
+@example
+\paper @{
+  \void \displayScheme \system-system-spacing.basic-distance

+In combination with the previously mentioned changes, this allows

+LilyPond source files may now be embedded inside the generated PDF files.
+This experimental feature is disabled by default and may be regarded as unsafe,
+as PDF documents with hidden content tend to present a security risk.
+Please note that not all PDF viewers have the ability to handle embedded
+documents (if not, the PDF output will appear normally and source files
+will remain invisible).  This feature only works with the PDF backend.

+French note names are now defined specifically instead of
+being aliased to Italian note names: in addition to the
+generic Italian-derived syntax, the @var{d} pitch may be
+entered as @code{ré}.  Double sharps may also be
+entered using the @code{-x} suffix.
