LilyPond uses a versioning scheme similar to the Linux kernel. In a
version "x.y.z", an even second number 'y' denotes a stable version.
-For development versions 'y' is odd. For using straightforward score
-production, please use the latest stable version. Development versions
-may not produce good or nice scores.
+For development versions 'y' is odd. Sh, in theory, version 1.2 is
+stable, which means that there are no glaring errors in it. In practice
+1.2.x is also unmaintained.
+
+ 1.3.x is in healthy development: lots of problems turn up, but
+they're fixed quickly. Therefore we recommend you try 1.2.x, if you
+have any problem with it, upgrade to the latest 1.3.x release.
