MacTeX in Pretest?

[Fr. Samuel Springuel]

I just downloaded and installed the new MacTeX package, but the gregorio installed by it doesn’t appear to be the new beta executable.  When I check the version I’m getting:

Gregorio 6.0.0 (kpathsea version 6.4.1).

The Gregorio version is the same as in 2024, but the kpathsea version has been incremented (it was 6.4.0 in 2024).  So I think the executable got rebuilt, but from the old sources.
