\nScripting
\n\n- Plugins (thanks to @astrale-sharp and\n@arnaudgolfouse)\n
\n- Typst can now load plugins that are compiled to WebAssembly
\n- Anything that can be compiled to WebAssembly can thus be loaded as a plugin
\n- These plugins are fully encapsulated (no access to file system or network)
\n- Plugins can be shipped as part of packages
\n- Plugins work just the same in the web app
\n
\n \n- Types are now first-class values (Breaking change)\n
\n- A type is now itself a value
\n- Some types can be called like functions (those that have a constructor),\ne.g.
int and str \n- Type checks are now of the form
type(10) == int instead of the old\ntype(10) == "integer". Compatibility with the\nold way will remain for a while to give package authors time to upgrade, but\nit will be removed at some point. \n- Methods are now syntax sugar for calling a function scoped to a type,\nmeaning that
"hello".len() is equivalent to str.len("hello") \n
\n \n- Added support for
import renaming with as \n- Added a
duration type \n- Added support for CBOR encoding and decoding
\n- Added encoding and decoding functions from and to bytes for data formats:\n
json.decode, json.encode, and similar\nfunctions for other formats \n- Added
array.intersperse function \n- Added
str.rev function \n- Added
calc.tau constant \n- Made bytes joinable and addable
\n- Made
array.zip function variadic \n- Fixed bug with
eval when the mode was set to "math" \n- Fixed bug with
ends-with function on strings \n- Fixed bug with destructuring in combination with break, continue, and return
\n- Fixed argument types of hyperbolic functions, they don't allow\nangles anymore (Breaking change)
\n- Renamed some color methods:
rgba becomes to-rgba, cmyk becomes\nto-cmyk, and luma becomes to-luma (Breaking change) \n
\nExport
\n\n- Added SVG export (thanks to @Enter-tainer)
\n- Fixed bugs with PDF font embedding
\n- Added support for page labels that reflect the\npage numbering style in the PDF
\n
\nText and Layout
\n\n- Added
highlight function for highlighting text with a background color \n- Added
polygon.regular function for drawing a regular\npolygon \n- Added support for tabs in
raw elements alongside\ntab-width parameter \n- The layout engine now tries to prevent "runts" (final lines consisting of just\na single word)
\n- Added Finnish translations
\n- Added hyphenation support for Polish
\n- Improved handling of consecutive smart quotes of different kinds
\n- Fixed vertical alignments for
number-align argument on\npage function (Breaking change) \n- Fixed weak pagebreaks after counter updates
\n- Fixed missing text in SVG when the text font is set to "New Computer Modern"
\n- Fixed translations for Chinese
\n- Fixed crash for empty text in show rule
\n- Fixed leading spaces when there's a linebreak after a number and a comma
\n- Fixed placement of floating elements in columns and other containers
\n- Fixed sizing of block containing just a single box
\n
\nMath
\n\n- Added support for augmented matrices
\n- Removed support for automatic matching of fences like
| and || as\nthere were too many false positives. You can use functions like\nabs or norm or an explicit lr\ncall instead. (Breaking change) \n- Fixed spacing after number with decimal point in math
\n- Fixed bug with primes in subscript
\n- Fixed weak spacing
\n- Fixed crash when text within math contains a newline
\n
\n\n\n- Added hints when trying to call a function stored in a dictionary without\nextra parentheses
\n- Fixed hint when referencing an equation without numbering
\n- Added more details to some diagnostics (e.g. when SVG decoding fails)
\n
\nCommand line interface
\n\n- Added
typst update command for self-updating the CLI\n(thanks to @jimvdl) \n- Added download progress indicator for packages and updates
\n- Added
--format argument to explicitly specify the output format \n- The CLI now respects proxy configuration through environment variables and has\na new
--cert option for setting a custom CA certificate \n- Fixed crash when field wasn't present and
--one is passed to typst query \n
\nMiscellaneous Improvements
\n\n- Added page setup guide
\n- Added
figure.caption function that can be used for\nsimpler figure customization (Breaking change because it.caption now\nrenders the full caption with supplement in figure show rules and manual\noutlines) \n- Moved
caption-pos argument to figure.caption function and renamed it to\nposition (Breaking change) \n- Added
separator argument to figure.caption\nfunction \n- Added support for combination of and/or and before/after\nselectors
\n- Packages can now specify a\nminimum compiler version\nthey require to work
\n- Fixed parser bug where method calls could be moved onto their own line for\n
#let expressions in markup (Breaking change) \n- Fixed bugs in sentence and title case conversion for bibliographies
\n- Fixed supplements for alphanumeric and author-title bibliography styles
\n- Fixed off-by-one error in APA bibliography style
\n
\nDevelopment
\n\n- Made
Span and FileId more type-safe so that all error conditions must be\nhandled by World implementors \n
