Of particular importance in this version of the beta is the distribution and installation instructions for the supplemental fonts. We especially want people who are not developers to read them over and try to follow them. If you have problems, or even just find something that leaves you momentarily confused, please let us know so that we can provide clear and concise instructions.

# UPGRADE
### Additional fonts

With the addition of more cavum shapes, the number of font options which come with Gregorio (the package) by default has been reduced in order to control the download size. From now on only Greciliae will be installed by default. The Gregorio and Grana Padano fonts, as well as their "-op" Dominican variants, will now be available as a separate download. If you were using these fonts, either download `supp_fonts-5_0_0.zip` and install them or switch to Greciliae.

To install the new versions of Gregorio (the font) and Grana Padano, unzip `supp_fonts-5_0_0.zip`, navigate to the uncompressed folder in Terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows) and execute `texlua install_supp_fonts.lua` after you have installed the main Gregorio distribution. This script will look for the location of Greciliae and copy the other fonts to that location. If you wish to control the installation of the fonts manually, the script takes an optional argument with one of the following values:

 * `auto` (optional): the same folder as Greciliae
 * `system`: the appropriate font folder in `$TEXMFLOCAL`
 * `user`: the appropriate font folder in `$TEXMFHOME`
 * `<dir>`: the name of an alternate texmf root directory you want to use

Additionally, if you are building the fonts yourself from a git clone, `install-gtex.sh` and `install_supp_fonts.lua` will install all the fonts you have built, not just the ones they are normally distributed with.

**Note:** All the above methods assume you only need to access the fonts from within a TeX document (and thus are designed to put them into the correct folder in a texmf tree). If you want to use the fonts in other programs, then you will need to consult the documentation appropriate to your platform and/or the program and manually move, copy, or link the fonts to the necessary location.


# CHANGELOG
## [5.0.0-beta2] - 2017-02-24
### Fixed
- Glyphs for pes quadratum shapes with initio debilis are no longer missing. Use `-fqg` to engrave them. See [#1310](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1310).

### Changed
- The default behaviour of `\gregorioscore` has been changed to autocompile.
- When the note after an oriscus is at the same pitch, the oriscus direction now depends on the first non-unison, non-oriscus note after the oriscus (see [#1179](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1179)).

### Removed
- The Gregorio and Grana Padano fonts are no longer distributed with the Gregorio distribution archive. They will now be available for download separately (along with their Dominican "-op" variants) in `supp_fonts-5_0_0.zip` (the version number will change to match future releases). See [UPGRADE.md](UPGRADE.md) and [#844](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/844) for details.
