Comment #10 on issue 3747 by address@hidden: Patch: Draft of 2.18 release news
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3747

As clear text, the release message would be:
Lilypond 2.18.0 released! _December 28, 2013_
.............................................

We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.18.0.  LilyPond
is a music engraving program devoted to producing the highest-quality
sheet music possible.  It brings the aesthetics of traditionally
engraved music to computer printouts.

   Among the numerous improvements and changes, the following might be
most visible:

   • Many items are now positioned using their actual outline rather
     than a rectangular bounding box.  This greatly reduces the
     occurrence of unsightly large gaps.

   • Sets and overrides can now use the syntax
          \override Voice.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit."
     instead of the previous
          \override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."

   • Triplets with a given group length can now be written as
          \tuplet 3/2 4 { c8 c c  c c c }
     instead of
          \times 2/3 { c8 c c }  \times 2/3 { c8 c c }

   A full list of noteworthy new features is given in:

   Great thanks go to the large number of LilyPond enthusiasts whose
financial backing enabled one core developer, David Kastrup, to focus
exclusively on LilyPond during the entire development cycle.
