+Unbeamed 128th notes are now supported:

+@item
+Extending LilyPond's existing support for microtones, there are
+now arrowed accidentals for the notation of microtonal alterations.
+To use them, redefine the @code{glyph-name-alist} property of
+@code{Accidental} as in the following example which uses quartertones
+to typeset arrowed accidentals. Alternatively, it is possible to
+define separate names for all notes with arrowed accidentals (see
+@code{ly/makam.ly} for boilerplate code).
+
+@lilypond[quote]
+microAccs = #'((0 . "accidentals.natural")
+ (-1/2 . "accidentals.flat")
+ (1/2 . "accidentals.sharp")
+
+ (1 . "accidentals.doublesharp")
+ (-1 . "accidentals.flatflat")
+
+ (3/4 . "accidentals.sharp.arrowup")
+ (1/4 . "accidentals.sharp.arrowdown")
+ (-1/4 . "accidentals.flat.arrowup")
+ (-3/4 . "accidentals.flat.arrowdown"))

+Straight flags (used in old scores of e.g. Bach, but also in different form in
+modern scores of e.g. Stockhausen) are now implemented:
+@lilypond[quote]
+\relative c'' {
+ \override Stem #'flag = #modern-straight-flag
+ c,16 \acciaccatura {c'8} d4 d32

+@item
+@code{\bookpart} blocks may be used to split a book into several parts,
+separated by a page break, in order to ease the page breaking, or to use
+different @code{\paper} settings in different parts.
+
+@example
+\bookpart @{
+ \header @{
+ title = "Book title"
+ subtitle = "First part"
+ @}
+ \score @{ @dots{} @}
+ @dots{}
+@}
+\bookpart @{
+ \header @{
+ subtitle = "Second part"
+ @}
+ \score @{ @dots{} @}
+ @dots{}
+@}
+@end example

+Nested contexts of the same type are now allowed.
+This deprecates @code{InnerStaffGroup} and @code{InnerChoirStaff}.

+Percent repeat counters can be shown at regular intervals using the
+context property @code{repeatCountVisibility}.

+ \repeat percent 6 { c4 d e f }
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@item
+In addition to the already existing @code{showLastLength} property,
+@code{showFirstLength} can now be set as well, rendering only the first
+measures of a piece. Both properties may be set at the same time:
+@lilypond[quote]
+showFirstLength = R1*2
+showLastLength = R1*3

Harp pedalling diagrams were added:

Predefined, user-configurable, transposable fret diagrams
are now available in the @code{FretBoards} context:

\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
<<
\new ChordNames {
\center-align -> \center-column
\hcenter -> \center-align
printallheaders -> print-all-headers
+\bigger -> \larger (already existing command)
+systemSeparatorMarkup -> system-separator-markup
@end example
+@noindent
+Moreover, some files in the @code{ly/} directory have been renamed;
+the *-init.ly filenames are now only used for files that are automatically
+included, while such files as @code{makam-init.ly} or @code{gregorian-init.ly}
+have been renamed to @code{makam.ly} or @code{gregorian.ly}.
+
+@item
+The ``tex'' and ``texstr'' backends have been removed. Font are now
+accessed via the fontconfig library; the Pango library is used to display
+text strings.

@item
Metronome marks can now also contain a textual description. The
duration and count (if given) are shown in parentheses after the text.

In figured bass you can now also use a backslash through a number to
indicate a raised 6th step.

Arpeggios may now use ``parenthesis'' style brackets:

% Note: does not work for cross-staff arpeggios.

Notes or rests, such as a typical end note, that fill an entire
measure are preceded by some more space.

Tablature now supports harmonics and slides:

Horizontal spacing now follows object outlines more accurately.

Staves are spaced vertically using a skyline algorithm. This helps
prevent uneven vertical spacing.
