+Improved testing procedure now catch changes in CPU and memory
+performance, page layout, MIDI results and warnings. This helps to
+reduce the number of regression errors during development, resulting
+in more stable releases.

-Nested tuplets can have different formatting for each nesting level,
+All line spanners are more flexible now in the configuration of
+their end points. This includes glissando, voice followers, text
+crescendos and other text spanners. The old syntax for setting
+text on line spanners is no longer valid.

-New sections with different spacing parameters can be started with
-@code{newSpacingSection}. This is useful when there are
-sections with a different notions of long and short notes.

-In the following example, the time signature change introduces a new
-section, and hence the 16ths notes are spaced wider.

-A new, automated testing technique has been added. It will detect
-changes in the formatting automatically, which will make it easier to

-Beams may be put on isolated stems, and beamlets may be paired by
-setting the @code{max-beam-connect} property,
