It's taken a few days longer than originally planned because of some
persistent bugs in the new bar spacing algorithm, but this is the first
release candidate for v4.1.
Again, we are particularly interested in hearing about people's
experience with the new bar spacing algorithm. We are hoping to make
this the default setting in v4.1, but will only do so if we can squash
the bugs with it sufficiently to make it stable. Your help in doing so
is greatly appreciated. To use the feature add `\gresetbarspacing{new}`
to your document before including your score.
Windows users are also reminded that the new installation method
modifies your PATH rather than copying gregorio.exe to the TeX bin
folder. If you are upgrading from 4.1.0-beta3, then you do not need to
check this option when installing (indeed, it should be unchecked by
default for you). If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you will
need to check this option when installing (and it should be checked for
you by default). If you have any difficulty with this process, please
let us know.

# CHANGELOG
## [4.1.0-rc1] - 2016-02-18
### Fixed
- New bar spacing algorithm now accounts for translations (and other
below lyrics stuff).
- Horizontal episema on initio debilis is now sized correctly (see
[#880](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/880)).
- Elisions immediately after the vowel are now properly left out of the
center (see [#907](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/907))
- New bar spacing algorithm now respects the setting of
`\gresetshiftaftermora`. See
[#919](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/919)
- Space between the text of two syllables of the same word when no
hyphen is necessary is now strictly 0 (see
[#922](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/922))
- A horizontal episema on the first note of a torculus deminutus is now
placed correctly. See
[#926](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/926).
- Corrected determination of repercussive figures and other edge cases
(introduced in 4.1.0-beta2). See
[#928](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/928) and
[#929](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/929).
### Changed
- Adjustments to the heuristic for ledger lines to include adjacent
notes (see [#862](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/862)).
- The stem length determination will use the ledger line below the note
with the stem (see
[#863](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/863)).
- Made the oriscus orientation dependent on the note that follows. Using
`1` will force the ascending oriscus and `0` will force the descending
oriscus. The old behavior may be restored by setting the
`oriscus-orientation` gabc header to `legacy`. See UPGRADE.md for
details (for the change request, see
[#774](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/774) and
[#898](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/898)).
- Add new lines as needed to the gabc output. (see
[#905](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/905)).
- Syllable with no notes are now treated as bar syllables rather than
note syllables. This increase their spacing under the old algorithm
and, more importantly, allows them to use the new spacing algorithm.
- `maxbaroffset` has been split into `maxbaroffsettextleft` and
`maxbaroffsettextright`
### Added
- Controls for tuning horizontal episema vertical position. See
GregorioRef for details (for the change request, see
[#872](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/872)).
- More dimensions are tunable: `overhepisemalowshift`,
`overhepisemahighshift`, `underhepisemalowshift`,
`underhepisemahighshift`, `hepisemamiddleshift`, `vepisemalowshift`,
`vepisemahighshift`, `linepunctummorashift`, `spacepunctummorashift`,
`spaceamonepespunctummorashift`, `lineporrectuspunctummorashift`,
`spaceporrectuspunctummorashift`, `raresignshift`,
`interwordspacetext@bars`, `interwordspacetext@bars@euouae`. See
GregorioRef for details (for the change request for most of these, see
comments in
[#872](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/872)).
- A new dimension, `intersyllablespacestretchhyphen` is now available to
add stretching in the case of syllables separated by an hyphen (see
comments in [#922](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/922))
