  • Now shows default values for optional arguments
  • Added richer outlines in "On this Page"
  • Added initial support for search keywords: "Table of Contents" will now find the outline function. Suggestions for more keywords are welcome!
  • Fixed issue with search result ranking
  • Fixed many more small issues

• Math

  • Breaking change: Alignment points (&) in equations now alternate between left and right alignment
  • Added support for writing roots with Unicode: For example, $root(x+y)$ can now also be written as $√(x+y)$
  • Fixed uneven vertical attachment alignment
  • Fixed spacing on decorated elements (e.g., spacing around a canceled operator)

  • Added tack.r.double, tack.l.double, dotless.i and dotless.j symbols
  • Fixed show rules on symbols (e.g. {show sym.tack: set text(blue)})
  • Fixed missing rename from ast.op to ast that should have been in the previous release

• Scripting

  • Added function scopes: A function can now hold related definitions in its own scope, similar to a module. The new assert.eq function, for instance, is part of the assert function's scope. Note that function scopes are currently only available for built-in functions.
  • Added assert.eq and assert.ne functions for simpler equality and inequality assertions with more helpful error messages
  • Exposed list, enum, and term list items in their respective functions' scope
  • The at methods on strings, arrays, dictionaries, and content now support specifying a default value
  • Added support for passing a function to replace that is called with each match.

  • Fixed bug with trailing placeholders in destructuring patterns
  • Fixed bug with underscore in parameter destructuring
  • Fixed crash with nested patterns and when hovering over an invalid pattern
  • Better error messages when casting to an integer or float fails

• Text and Layout

  • Implemented sophisticated CJK punctuation adjustment
  • Disabled overhang for CJK punctuation
  • Added basic translations for Traditional Chinese
  • Fixed alignment of text inside raw blocks (centering a raw block, e.g. through a figure, will now keep the text itself left-aligned)
  • Added support for passing a array instead of a function to configure table cell alignment and fill per column
  • Fixed automatic figure kind detection
  • Made alignment of enum numbers configurable, defaulting to end
  • Figures can now be made breakable with a show-set rule for blocks in figure
  • Initial fix for smart quotes in RTL languages

  • Fixed ligatures in PDF export: They are now copyable and searchable
  • Exported PDFs now embed ICC profiles for images that have them
  • Fixed export of strokes with zero thickness

• Web app

  • Projects can now contain folders
  • Added upload by drag-and-drop into the file panel
  • Files from the file panel can now be dragged into the editor to insert them into a Typst file
  • You can now copy-paste images and other files from your computer directly into the editor

  • Added tips to the loading screen and the Help menu. Feel free to propose more!
  • Added syntax highlighting for YAML files
  • Allowed middle mouse button click on many buttons to navigate into a new tab
