+@item Texts set in a TrueType font are now kerned. This requires CVS
+Pango or Pango 1.12.
+
+@item Using the @TeX{} no longer requires linking or dynamically
+opening the kpathsea library, making the backend more easily usable on
+various systems.
+
+This fix was sponsored by Black Trash Productions.
+
+@item The horizontal location of rehearsal marks can be adjusted by
+setting the @code{rehearsalMarkAlignSymbol} property,
+
+@lilypond[raggedright]
+\relative {
+ c1
+ \key cis \major
+ \clef alto

+It's now possible to easily create deeply nested system start

+
+
+In addition, there is now also support for ``square'' system start
+brackets.

+Tie formatting now uses scoring. This opens the road to formatting
+which handles complex situations require tradeoffs between different
+beauty factors.
+
+This refactoring has been sponsored by Steve Doonan.
+
+@item
+Each grob property may also be a ``grob closure.'' This means that it
+is possible to combine functions. For example, the @code{Y-offset} of
+a @code{InstrumentName} grob is defined to be
+
+@verbatim
+,(ly:make-simple-closure
+ `(,+
+ ,(ly:make-simple-closure
+ (,Self_alignment_interface::y_aligned_on_self))
+ ,(ly:make-simple-closure
+ (,Side_position_interface::y_aligned_on_support_refpoints)))
+@end verbatim
+
+@noindent
+During execution, the @code{Y-offset} of an @code{InstrumentName} is computed
+as
+
+@example
+(+ (Self_alignment_interface::y_aligned_on_self @var{grob})
+ (Self_alignment_interface::y_aligned_on_support_refpoints @var{grob}))
+@end example
+
+
+@item
+Calculation of extent and offset of grob is now controlled via the
+@code{X-extent}, @code{Y-extent}, @code{X-offset} and @code{Y-offset}
+properties, for example
+
+@verbatim
+\override TextScript #'Y-offset = #-6
+@end verbatim
+
+@noindent
+hard codes @code{TextScript} grobs to be 6 spaces below their Y-parent
+grobs.
+
+@item
+Each grob property can be a procedure. If this is the case, it is
+assumed to be a routine that calculates said property. This is a
+major internal cleanup, which also provides advanced tweakability for
+power users. For example,
+
+@verbatim
+\override Beam #'direction
+ = #(lambda (grob)
+ (if (> 4 (ly:grob-array-length (ly:grob-object grob 'stems)))
+ DOWN
+ UP))
+@end verbatim
+
+@noindent
+With this code fragment, the direction of a beam is decided to be up
+or down, depending on the number of stems in the beam.
+
+
+@item
+Support for figured bass has been rewritten. Now it supports
+continuation lines, slashed figures, and its figures, brackets, and alignments may
+tuned separately.

+
+@item
+Subproperties, like the @code{details} field of @code{Slur} and
+@code{Tie} may now be tuned with @code{\override}. For example,
+
+@verbatim
+\override Stem #'details #'beamed-lengths = #'(4 4 3)
+@end verbatim

+@noindent
+shortens the stems in beams.

+The default paper size may now be set from the command line using
+@code{-dpaper-size}.
+

+Beamlets may stick out of the side of beams.
