LilyPond 2.23.6 released

[Jonas Hahnfeld]

We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.23.6. This is termed
a development release, but these are usually reliable. If you want to
use the current stable version of LilyPond, we recommend using the
2.22.1 version.

This release also marks a transition towards Guile 2.2: The binaries
available from http://lilypond.org/development are built using GUB with
Guile 1.8, while the packages available from
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/release%252F2.23.6-1
were created with the new infrastructure developed over the past
months, making use of Guile 2.2. We encourage testing with your scores
to make sure that future releases of LilyPond will continue to work for
you. If there are problems with the version using Guile 2.2 that cannot
be reproduced with the binaries using Guile 1.8, we would love to hear
about them as early as possible.

The binaries with Guile 2.2 are different in a number of ways, the two
major changes being:
1. All binaries are 64-bit only and available for Linux, Windows (via
mingw), and macOS. In particular, this finally means official binaries
that work on macOS >= 10.15, which cannot run 32-bit programs anymore.
2. There is no installation, simply extract the downloaded tar or zip
(for Windows) archive and run it. The binaries don't include a GUI
anymore, we recommend using third-party editors such as Frescobaldi.
