# CHANGELOG
## [4.2.0-rc1] - 2016-05-31
### Fixed
- The `900_gregorio.xml` file for Scribus now matches
`main-lualatex.tex` again (see
[#1087](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1087)).
- Multiple subsequent lines in gabc no longer cause TeX to fail (see
[#1111](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1111)).
- Old bar spacing algorithm will no longer separate the text and bar
when the bar is preceeded by a puncutm mora (see
[#1078](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1078)).
- Scores which end with a no-note syllable under the new bar spacing
algorithm will no longer have their text pushed out into the right hand
margin. See
[#1110](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1110).
- PlainTeX will now respect underline requests in gabc.
- PlainTeX will now raise a warning when small caps are requested but
`\sc` has not been defined.
### Added
- Nabc now supports pitches `hn` and `hp` in addition to previously
supported `ha` through `hm`.
- 32 new St. Gall neume glyphs have been added to the `gregall` font and
glyphs for nabc `po-1pp2su1sux1` and `po-1su1sux1` have been changed.
- 31 new St. Gall neume glyphs have been added to the `gresgmodern` font
and glyph for nabc `tr-1` has been changed.
- It is now possible to set `\parskip`, `\lineskip`, `\baselineskip`,
and `\lineskiplimit` to have different values within a score using
`\grechangedim`. See
[#1038](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1038).
### Changed
- Different glyphs are now used for puncta inclinata in an ascent versus
in a descent. A heuristic algorithm is used to ensure that the glyphs
match when grouped together. If the algorithm chooses the wrong shape,
use `0` (for descending) or `1` (for ascending) to force an orientation.
See [UPGRADE.md](UPGRADE.md) and
[#856](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/856) for details.
- The shape of the fused oriscus at ambitus one in the greciliae font
has been tweaked to form a nicer connection (see
[#1079](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1079)).
- Syllables are now rewritten to improve ligature rendering. This may
be disabled by issuing `\gresetsyllablerewriting{off}`. See GregorioRef
for details (for the change request, see
[#1098](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1098)).
- Default mode style for PlainTeX no longer tries to invoke small caps
since they are not defined by default.
- Italic, bold, underlined, small capital, teletype, and colored styles
now span multiple syllables. Gregorio will also more consistently raise
errors when styles are improperly started or ended. See
[UPGRADE.md](UPGRADE.md) and
[#1121](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1121) for
details.
