Hello guys,

1. It is my pleasure to announce LilyPond 1.0.17.  It's got some
bugfixes, and is significantly faster (I got 7% with standchen.ly, but
I think the relative improvement will be bigger with lyric-less
music).

2.  Jan and I decided to go for some more spectacular development.  To
emphasize the difference between "experimental" and "development"
releases, we will branch LilyPond into versions 1.1 (experimental) and
1.0 (stable).  In practice, this means that we will be hacking on
1.1.x a lot and do an occasional bugfix on 1.0.x

Some attractions to expect for 1.1:

        - Full PostScript support
        - Overriding LilyPond code through GUILE fragments in the input.
        - More speed.

        - fixed RPM building.

pl 16.hwn1
        - ridiculous slur dims fixed.
        - ly2dvi32.py -> ly2dvi.py, ly2dvi.sh -> ly2dvi-old

        - updated install directions.  Made lilypond-login for csh
        - bf: installdirs of MF stuff
        - Dictionary implementation using hash tables (LilyPond is 3% faster)
        - Cache [non]group_l_arr () calls in translator-group.cc (LilyPond is 4% 
faster)
