    - ChordPro will no longer offer saving the preview on exit. It can
      easily be regenerated and exported if needed.

    - The save and clean operations for the messages are now
      provided by buttons on the messages pane itself.

    - Simplified the editor Insert menu. Add inserting special symbols.

    - Typing a `{start_of_section}` will automatically provide the
      corresponding `{end_of_section}`.
    
    !Other improvements

    - New metadata directives: [sortartist](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/directives-sortartist/) and [tag](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/directives-tag/).

    - Titles, artists and outlines will now be sorted according to the
      Unicode Technical Standard #10 (UTS #10) Collation Algorithm.
    
    - New font: [MuseJazzText](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/chordpro-fonts/#method-1-using-a-font-description).

    - Chord diagrams can now have nice, curly barres. Thanks to
      Michail Vourlakos for contributing.
    
    - (Experimental) [allpages](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/directives-image/#anchoranchor) anchor for images. Similar to the
      _page_ anchor, but the image is repeated on *every* page of the song.

    - Edon V. kindly donated a state-of-the art revised version of the
      config schema. Thanks, Edon!

    - Lilypond delegate supports a property "program" to explicitly
      designate the Lilypond program.

    - Filenames in filelists may be quoted, even if no options
      are involved.

    - Filenames in filelists are considered relative to the filelist.

    - Are you using the preprocessor in your abc and ly environments?
      Please use the more general `parser.preprocess.env-`... instead.

    - Config [settings.maj7delta](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/chordpro-configuration-generic/#general-settings) to obtain a delta symbol instead of 'maj7'
      in chord names.

    - You can now use special [ChordPro
      Symbols](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/chordpro-symbols/) from
      markup.

    - Songbooks now can have both a [cover](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/using-chordpro/#cover) and [front matter](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/using-chordpro/#front-matter).

    - To avoid confusion, command line option `--print-default-config`
      will now print the **template** config instead of the **full**
      config. To print the full config, repeat the option.

    - In case of emergency it is now possible to obtain chord brackets
      in lyrics and annotations.

    - Allow name based array access in config augment.

    - Font specifications in the config may now carry (some) properties.
      E.g. `pdf.fonts.comment_box : "sans 12; color=blue; frame=1"`.

    - Command line options `--even-pages-number-left` (`-L`) and
      `--odd-pages-numbers-left` are no longer functional. They did the
      wrong thing anyway. Use [`pdf.songbook`](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/chordpro-configuration-pdf/#songbook-pages) in the config file
      instead.
