+Due to personal circumstances, Han-Wen was able to do a lot more on
+LilyPond during the past months. A testament to that is the quick
+release of version 2.0, less than two months after 1.8. We have taken
+the opportunity to make a few radical changes to the syntax: note
+attributes, like articulation, dynamics and fingerings are now
+post-fix exclusively. This makes entering scores easier: you never
+have to think about the order of the attributes.  With version 2.0, we
+have a new and improved platform for working on notation and
+typography features for coming versions,

+packaging for Cygwin.  The good news is that we now have a nearly
+fool-proof installation for Windows.  He will be back in 2.1.
