Aw: Re: release of 2.20?

[Dirk Cresswell]

hi ben,

2.19.82 is called unstable on the lilypond home page and there is a hint on the 
download page to use stable versions instead. i tried to argue but they said 
"they'll have a reason not to make a stable release following the so-called 
prereleases". it's about the university's computers, yes.

regards,
dirk
