3 Translation of GIT committish: 3fcde915c606979c4bc220040eedc812937ef4e5
5 When revising a translation, copy the HEAD committish of the
6 version that you are working on. For details, see the Contributors'
7 Guide, node Updating translation committishes..
12 (I'd rather have the below in the CG. -gp)
15 * avoid "HERE" as name for links, use descriptive link names like
16 @uref{,Download LilyPond 2.5.16}
18 * avoid putting links in running text. They make text harder to read.
19 Preferably: (@uref{,...}, etc. )
21 * use a descriptive title in @subsubheading
23 * writing date in "Month DD, YYYY" format is required for
24 generating the RSS feed; in case the message (and thus the date)
25 is not in English, you must write a well-formed date in English
26 like above in a comment between the closing brace of @emph and the
28 (see "Japanese translation" below for an example).
30 * Split news items in small chunks. It's OK to have more than 1 item
33 * don't duplicate entries from news-front.itexi
37 * add macro for long Google issues list URL

2144 LilyPond 2.5.6 was released. This is a "technology preview"
2145 release, which means that it has all kinds of nifty
2146 features, but is not actually usable for producing nicely
2147 printed scores. For this reason, an RPM of this release was
2148 not produced. The PS backend is now completely switched over
2149 to Pango/FontConfig: for -f ps, LilyPond only accepts UTF8
2150 input, all text fonts are loaded through Pango, the TeX
2151 backend now offloads all metric computations to LaTeX, the
2152 SVG and GNOME backends are broken, most probably.

2405 Please consider this release as a 3.0 pre-release so try to find as
2406 many bugs as possible. A report including a small .ly example
2407 can be filed at bug-lilypond@@gnu.org
2408 In this case, a bug is defined as something that the current 2.3 does
2409 worse than the latest 2.2 release. We want to be sure that no output
2410 will get uglier by upgrading to 3.0, so that once 3.0 is out, nothing
2411 will hold users back in switching.

2420 LilyPond 2.3.15 was released. It fixes for some gaffes with
2421 the new vertical spacing engine, has lots of documentation
2422 updates, and has support for landscape output in the direct
2423 postscript output. Also, the types of events quoted with
2424 `\quote' can now be tuned with `quotedEventTypes'. By default,
2425 only notes and rests end up in quotes.

2434 LilyPond 2.3.14 was released and has exciting features!
2435 LilyPond will try to keep staves at the same distances across a

2448 LilyPond now has a Documentation
2449 Editor, Graham Percival. From now on, he will oversee that
2450 useful information flows from the mailiing list into the
2451 manual. Also, if there are unclear sections in the manual,
2452 let him know via one of the mailing lists.
2453 As a start of his career, he worked to transform the
2454 "Templates" section of the website into a readable and comprehensive
2455 chapter of the user manual.
2456 A lot of cheers for Graham!

2462 LilyPond 2.3.13 was released. The new slur code was
2463 improved, scripts can be made to avoid slurs, by setting
2464 inside-slur to #f. It is no longer necessary to instantiate
2465 "up" and "down" staves separately when using
2466 \autochange. Jurgen Reuter refreshed the logic around
2467 mensural flags, so they are adjusted for staff lines once

2509 LilyPond 2.3.10 is out. This release has a major clean-up of the
2510 input/test/ directory. Many examples have been moved to the regression
2511 test or manual, and the superfluous or outdated ones have been
2512 removed. The directory has gone from 146 examples to 72 examples. That
2513 means that we're halfway cleaning it out. Incidentally, the manual
2514 has gone from 200 to 220 pages. New features:
2517 Running trills now have their own spanner and event. They are
2518 started and stopped with \startTrillSpan and \stopTrillSpan

2531 @subsubheading July 30, 2004
2532 LilyPond 2.3.9 is out. The important change is that lilypond
2533 now once-again directly runs the binary. The old wrapper script has
2534 been renamed to lilypond-latex.py, and should only be used for legacy
2535 projects. The recommended route is either using lilypond directly
2536 (with \book, you can have multiple movements within one document), or
2537 to run lilypond-book with a LaTeX wrapper file.
2538 This release also fixes a bunch of small errors. I now consider
2539 LilyPond feature complete for a 3.0 release. Next on the TODO list is
2540 updating the manual, and after that's done we can release 3.0. The
2541 projected date for this to happen is in about a month.

2562 LilyPond 2.3.7 was released and has new exciting features!
2563 The slur formatting has been rewritten. The new slur code
2564 works similar to the Beam formatter: scores are assigned for
2565 all esthetic components of a slur. A large number of
2566 combinations for begin and end points is then tried out.
2567 Slurs will now also take into account collisions with staff
2568 lines, scripts (like staccato and accent) and accidentals. In
2569 the LilyPond emacs mode, the `|' will now display the current
2570 beat within the measure.
