Hmm.  I'll go with the following somewhat-noncommittal message:

-----
We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.12.3.  This
version contains the long-awaited fix for our GUI on MacOS X 10.5
and 10.6.  In addition to the GUI fixes, this version contains
dozens of bugfixes backported from the unstable development
version.

We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.  This is the
last planned release in the 2.12 stable series; development now
shifts towards the upcoming 2.14 series.

The announcement will come when I get confirmation from at least 1 OSX
and 1 windows user that it works.  No rush, though.  It's waited this
long; another week or two won't matter.

Cheers,
- Graham
