+
+We have discovered a regression since 2.14.2, so lilypond 2.15.39
+is no longer a candidate for the 2.16.0 release. However, please
+continue testing it -- we would like to discover (and fix!) any
+more regressions as soon as possible. If you discover any
+problems, please send us @ref{Bug reports}.
