+@subsubheading Alpha test of 2.14 -- LilyPond 2.13.34 released! @emph{Sep 21, 2010}
+
+LilyPond 2.13.34 is out; this is the first alpha test of the
+upcoming 2.14 stable release. Users are invited to cautiously
+experiment with this version. Two known regressions against
+2.12.3 still exist:
+@uref{http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1173,
+a crash when using showFirstLength/showLastLength with
+\compressFullBarRests}, and
+@uref{http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1263,
+MetronomeMarks cannot be aligned on a note if a multi-measure rest
+exists in another voice}. We estimate that we will discover (and
+fix) another 5-10 regressions before 2.14 is out. If you decide
+to test 2.13.34, do not be surprised to discover problems; just
+send us polite @ref{Bug reports}.
+
+New features since 2.12.3 are listed in the @qq{Changes} manual on
+the section about @ref{Development}.
