+LilyPond 2.3.16 was released. It fixes a couple of annoying
+bugs, and has an important addition in the slur-formatter. Slurs that
+pass note heads much closer than the average distance get an extra
+penalty. This fixes a lot of difficult slurring cases. See
+input/regression/new-slur for some examples.
+Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
+many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
+can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
+In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
+worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
+will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
+will hold users back in switching.

+(with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
+to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
+This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
+LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
