Hi all, I backported the first batch of commits yesterday, some more merge requests are still tagged with the Backport label that I will take care of later (including "official" support for Guile 3.0 unless somebody objects until then). I plan to build the binaries on Saturday, November 18, and the final release on Sunday, November 19 - in the worst case this may slip to Monday, but I don't really have much time then so hopefully not...
The draft release announcement text is: --- We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.24.3. 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. This version contains a number of fixes since the release of the previous stable version in August 2023. We recommend all users to update. Scores converted to or written for 2.24.0 will continue to work with this release. A list of added features and other user-visible changes for 2.24 can be found at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/changes/. Among others, version 2.24.0 switched to Guile 2.2 and features a completely rewritten infrastructure for creating the official packages, finally allowing us to offer 64-bit binaries for macOS and Windows. These pre- built binaries are linked from https://lilypond.org/download.html and available from GitLab: https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/v2.24.3 For distributions, LilyPond 2.24.3 most notably includes a fix to restore PDF conversion with the recent Ghostscript 10.02.1. Also Guile 3.0 is now officially supported, even though the recommended version will remain Guile 2.2 for the LilyPond 2.24 series. --- Cheers Jonas
