 LilyPond uses a versioning scheme similar to the Linux kernel.  In a
 version "x.y.z", an even second number 'y' denotes a stable version.
-For development versions 'y' is odd.  For using straightforward score
-production, please use the latest stable version.  Development versions
-may not produce good or nice scores.
+For development versions 'y' is odd.  Sh, in theory, version 1.2 is stable,
+which means that there are no glaring errors in it. In practice 1.2.x is also
+unmaintained.
+
+1.3.x is in healthy development: lots of problems turn up, but they're
+fixed quickly. Therefore we recommend you try 1.2.x, if you have any
+problem with it, upgrade to the latest 1.3.x release.
