Wilbert,

Thank you for this release! I'm using v2.20 now and it's working
beautifully. 

However, I've been unable to run Frescobaldi 3 on my Linux Mint laptop, I
keep getting errors. I've already installed (what I think is) all the
dependencies, but still it complains no Qt5 installed and something about
not having sipdistutils...

Second your thanks to Wilbert: it's possible to code LilyPond without Fresco, but not nearly as easily or as much fun.

I'm running  Fresco 3.0 is this environment ( from Help/About/Version of Fresco):

Frescobaldi: 3.0.0

Python: 3.5.2

python-ly: 0.9.5

Qt: 5.5.1

PyQt: 5.5.1

sip: 4.17

poppler: 0.41.0

python-poppler-qt: 0.24.2

OS: Linux-4.4.0-62-generic-x86_64-with-LinuxMint-18-sarah

I cloned the github repos for python-ly and python-poppler-qt, as well as the master, and I just now ran git pull -r on all three, then went into the utilities and did sudo python setup.py build and install for each, per the Install docs. I made sure to do them *before* building/installing Frescobaldi, and all seems just as fine as ever.

HTH,

Colin
