    but the results are significantly improved and do not leave large areas
    of whitespace where there are no nodes to be shown.

    option is selected, the position facing the node on the other side of the
    arrow is always chosen.

5.0.0-beta1

Version 5.0.0-beta1, an experimental pre-release.

Make sure to backup before you upgrade.

The key word is experimental!

It might be unwise to "upgrade" your main/real gramps
family tree into 5.0.0-beta1. In general, we recommend
you make a copy of your family tree instead (typically by
doing a "gramps XML" export), then try 5.0.0-beta1 on
the copy. (You can keep things really separate by using
the GRAMPSHOME environmental variable, if you want.)

It's been over four months since 5.0.0-alpha3 was released
so we are interested in your feedback, especially if you
discover any bugs or problems which we haven't noticed.
