abc2ly ISSUE:

It still doesn't include the patch so that abc2ly translates a Q line
into  a valid tempo specification. 

Test file:

testq.abc
Description: Binary data

The workaround for this issue is to run convert-ly on the abc2ly
output, but I really don't see any reason to have the bug, since we
know how to fix it.

lilypond-book ISSUE:

The bounding box problem, which makes it impossible to print
lilypond-book output double-sided correctly, still exists.  If anyone
wants my script that works around it, I'll be happy to send it, but
this is another serious problem that there's no reason to make people
work around.  The workaround adds a major time penalty to rebuilding a
large book.

FIXED ISSUES:

The error in the order of the figures in the figured bass context
seems to be fixed.

The problem with the disappearing UTF-8 characters which appeared in
2.9.25 or so seems to be fixed.
