    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.  So, 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.
+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.
