-For years, LilyPond has been associated with @TeX{}, for its design,
-syntax and, last but not least, since it used @TeX{} as an output
-engine. Starting with 2.6, the latter has changed. By default,
-LilyPond now produces PostScript directly. This makes it easier to
-install, quicker to operate and more versatile.
-
-Under the hood, this was made possible by use of the Pango library,
-which does typesetting of multilingual text. This means that you can
-easily typeset Chinese, Russian or Minoic lyrics. Another result is
-the SVG output. You can create SVG pictures of music notation directly
-from LilyPond.
-
-There are also small improvements. This release has numerous extra
-features, such as color support, string-number notation, arrowed
-glissandi. Moreover, it is now possible to commission features. For a
-small fee, we (the core developers) can implement the features that
-you sorely need. Examples of sponsored features in 2.6 are solfa notation,
-stemlets, starting and stopping staves.
