-Enclosing text within boxes with rounded corners is now possible,
-using the @code{rounded-box} command.
+The file extension for MIDI can be set using the command-line
+program default @code{midi-extension}. For Windows, the default
+extension has been changed to @code{.mid}.
@item
-@command{lilypond-book} can run any program instead of @command{latex}
-to guess the line width, thanks to @code{--latex} command line option.
+Two variations on the default double repeat bar line are now available.

+Four automatic accidentals rules have been added: @code{neo-modern},

+The following syntax changes were made, in chronological order. In
+addition, fret diagram properties have been moved to
+@code{fret-diagram-details}, and the @code{#'style} property is
+used to select solid/dashed lines instead of @code{#'dash-fraction}.

+Moreover, some files in the @code{ly/} directory have been renamed;

+included, while such files as @code{makam-init.ly} or @code{gregorian-init.ly}
+have been renamed to @code{makam.ly} or @code{gregorian.ly}.

-@code{\setEasyHeads} has been renamed to @code{\easyHeadsOn}, and a new
