>     version >= 2.17.25, otherwise -|
>   - When editing keyboard shortcuts, conflicts are directly shown as they
> are
>     entered; better support French keyboards (contributed by Nicolas
> Malarmey)
>   - Better Mac OS X icons (contributed by Davide Liessi)
>   - The internal handling of manipulations like transpose, translate, and
> the
>     various rhythm commands has become less dependent on Frescobaldi code.
>     These functionality now resides in the ly module and could be used by
>     other applications. The commands now can work on any ly.document, which
>     need not be a Frescobaldi document.
>   - The internal help system has seen a massive overhaul: help files are now
>     very easy to write in a simplified markdown-like syntax. Adding help
> pages
>     is very easy by dropping a *.md file in the userguide/ directory. Every
>     paragraph in a help file is automatically added to the POT file and can
> be
>     translated by editing the language's PO file.
> * Bug fixes:
>   - Music View: horizontal scrolling using trackpad now works with kinetic
> mode
>     enabled. Fixes #248.
> * Removed feature:
>   - The 'master' variable is no longer supported, it's goal has been
> superseded
>     by the 'Always Engrave' option, which is also saved in the session. This
>     decision was taken to simplify the handling of files created on behalf
> of
>     a document.
>
> Due to the revised help system, some large pieces of translatable text are
> now cut into paragraphs. This means translators are invited to revisit the
> translations, especially from the help pages. Many strings will be easily
> updated. The Html formatting in the help pages is removed, but some strings
> now expose basic inline markdown formatting. This is clearly indicated in
> the comment for a translatable string ("Note: markdown formatting").

> Enjoy, and please report bugs as usual!
>
> The goal for Frescobaldi 2.0.13 is to adapt all LilyPond 2.18 syntax

> Merry Chrismas and a happy new year!!!
