+@subsubheading LilyPond 2.15.0 released! @emph{June 7, 2011}
-We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.13.40. This
-release contains the usual number of bugfixes. However, a number

+We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.15.0. This is
+the beginning of a new unstable development effort, and adds the

-to a number of untested changes to our build process, we cannot be
-at all confident about the quality of this release.
+It is strongly recommended that normal users do @strong{not} use
+this release, and instead use the stable 2.14 version.
