## Version 0.11.0 (March 15, 2024) { #v0.11.0 }
- Tables (thanks to [@PgBiel](https://github.com/PgBiel))
- Tables are now _much_ more flexible, read the new
[table guide]($guides/table-guide) to get started
- Added [`table.cell`] element for per-cell configuration
- Cells can now span multiple [columns]($table.cell.colspan) or
[rows]($table.cell.rowspan)
- The [stroke]($table.cell.stroke) of individual cells can now be customized
- The [`align`]($table.align) and [`inset`]($table.inset) arguments of the
table function now also take `{(x, y) => ..}` functions

- Templates
- You can now use template packages to get started with new projects. Click
_Start from template_ on the web app's dashboard and choose your preferred
template or run the `typst init ` command in the CLI. You can
[browse the available templates here]($universe/search/?kind=templates).
- Switching templates after the fact has become easier. You can just import a
styling function from a different template package.
- Package authors can now submit their own templates to the
[package repository](https://github.com/typst/packages). Share a template
for a paper, your institution, or an original work to help the community get
a head start on their projects.
- Templates and packages are now organized by category and discipline. Filter
packages by either taxonomy in the _Start from template_ wizard. If you are
a package author, take a look at the new documentation for
[categories](https://github.com/typst/packages/blob/main/CATEGORIES.md) and
[disciplines](https://github.com/typst/packages/blob/main/DISCIPLINES.md).
- Context
- Added _context expressions:_ Read the chapter on [context] to get started
- With context, you can access settable properties, e.g. `{context text.lang}`
to access the language set via `{set text(lang: "..")}`
- The following existing functions have been made contextual: [`query`],
[`locate`], [`measure`], [`counter.display`], [`counter.at`],
[`counter.final`], [`state.at`], and [`state.final`]
- Added contextual methods [`counter.get`] and [`state.get`] to retrieve the
value of a counter or state in the current context
- Added contextual function [`here`] to retrieve the [location] of the current
context
- The [`locate`] function now returns the location of a selector's unique
match. Its old behavior has been replaced by context expressions and only
remains temporarily available for compatibility.
- The [`counter.at`] and [`state.at`] methods are now more flexible: They
directly accept any kind of [locatable]($location/#locatable) selector with
a unique match (e.g. a label) instead of just locations
- When context is available, [`counter.display`] now directly returns the
result of applying the numbering instead of yielding opaque content. It
should not be used anymore without context. (Deprecation planned)
- The [`state.display`] function should not be used anymore, use [`state.get`]
instead (Deprecation planned)
- The `location` argument of [`query`], [`counter.final`], and
[`state.final`] should not be used anymore (Deprecation planned)
- The [`styles`]($measure.styles) argument of the `measure` function should
not be used anymore (Deprecation planned)
- The [`style`] function should not be used anymore, use context instead
(Deprecation planned)
- The correct context is now also provided in various other places where it is
available, e.g. in show rules, layout callbacks, and numbering functions
in the outline
- Styling
- Fixed priority of multiple [show-set rules]($styling/#show-rules): They now
apply in the same order as normal set rules would
- Show-set rules on the same element
(e.g. `{show heading.where(level: 1): set heading(numbering: "1.")}`) now
work properly
- Setting properties on an element within a transformational show rule (e.g.
`{show heading: it => { set heading(..); it }}`) is **not** supported
anymore (previously it also only worked sometimes); use show-set rules
instead (**Breaking change**)
- Text show rules that match their own output now work properly
(e.g. `` {show "cmd": `cmd`} ``)
- The elements passed to show rules and returned by queries now contain all
fields of their respective element functions rather than just specific ones
- All settable properties can now be used in [where]($function.where)
selectors
- [And]($selector.and) and [or]($selector.or) selectors can now be used with
show rules
- Errors within show rules and context expressions are now ignored in all but
the last introspection iteration, in line with the behavior of the old
[`locate`]
- Fixed a bug where document set rules were allowed after content
- Layout
- Added `reflow` argument to [`rotate`]($rotate) and [`scale`]($scale) which
lets them affect the layout
- Fixed a bug where [floating placement]($place.float) or
[floating figures]($figure.placement) could end up out of order
- Fixed overlap of text and figure for full-page floating figures
- Fixed various cases where the [`hide`] function didn't hide its contents
properly
- Fixed usage of [`h`] and [`v`] in [stacks]($stack)
- Invisible content like a counter update will no longer force a visible
block for just itself
- Fixed a bug with horizontal spacing followed by invisible content (like a
counter update) directly at the start of a paragraph
- Text
- Added [`stroke`]($text.stroke) property for text
- Added basic i18n for Serbian and Catalan
- Added support for contemporary Japanese [numbering] method
- Added patches for various wrong metadata in specific fonts
- The [text direction]($text.dir) can now be overridden within a paragraph
- Fixed Danish [smart quotes]($smartquote)
- Fixed font fallback next to a line break
- Fixed width adjustment of JIS-style Japanese punctuation
- Fixed Finnish translation of "Listing"
- Fixed Z-ordering of multiple text decorations (underlines, etc.)
- Fixed a bug due to which text [features]($text.features) could not be
overridden in consecutive set rules
- Model
- Added [`depth`]($heading.depth) and [`offset`]($heading.offset) arguments to
heading to increase or decrease the heading level for a bunch of content;
the heading syntax now sets `depth` rather than `level`
(**Breaking change**)
- List [markers]($list.marker) now cycle by default
- The [`quote`] function now more robustly selects the correct quotes based on
language and nesting

- Plugins (thanks to [@astrale-sharp](https://github.com/astrale-sharp) and
[@arnaudgolfouse](https://github.com/arnaudgolfouse))
- Typst can now load [plugins]($plugin) that are compiled to WebAssembly
- Anything that can be compiled to WebAssembly can thus be loaded as a
plugin
- These plugins are fully encapsulated (no access to file system or network)
- Plugins can be shipped as part of [packages]($scripting/#packages)
- Plugins work just the same in the web app
- Types are now first-class values (**Breaking change**)
- A [type] is now itself a value
- Some types can be called like functions (those that have a constructor),
e.g. [`int`] and [`str`]
- Type checks are now of the form `{type(10) == int}` instead of the old
`{type(10) == "integer"}`. [Compatibility]($type/#compatibility) with the
old way will remain for a while to give package authors time to upgrade,
but it will be removed at some point.
- Methods are now syntax sugar for calling a function scoped to a type,
meaning that `{"hello".len()}` is equivalent to `{str.len("hello")}`
- Added support for [`import`]($scripting/#modules) renaming with `as`
- Added a [`duration`] type
- Added support for [CBOR]($cbor) encoding and decoding
- Added encoding and decoding functions from and to bytes for data formats:
[`json.decode`]($json.decode), [`json.encode`]($json.encode), and similar
functions for other formats
- Added [`array.intersperse`]($array.intersperse) function
- Added [`str.rev`]($str.rev) function

angles anymore (**Breaking change**)
- Renamed some color methods: `rgba` becomes `to-rgba`, `cmyk` becomes
`to-cmyk`, and `luma` becomes `to-luma` (**Breaking change**)
- Export
- Added SVG export
(thanks to [@Enter-tainer](https://github.com/Enter-tainer))

- Added `typst update` command for self-updating the CLI
(thanks to [@jimvdl](https://github.com/jimvdl))
- Added download progress indicator for packages and updates
- Added `--format` argument to explicitly specify the output format
- The CLI now respects proxy configuration through environment variables and
has a new `--cert` option for setting a custom CA certificate

as well as field access and method call without space: `[#emoji.face]`
- New import syntax
- `[#import "module.typ"]` creates binding named `module`
- `[#import "module.typ": a, b]` or `[#import "module.typ": *]` to import
items
- `[#import emoji: face, turtle]` to import from already bound module
- New symbol handling
- Removed symbol notation
- Symbols are now in modules: `{sym}`, `{emoji}`, and `{math}`

- Modified through field access, still order-independent
- Unknown modifiers are not allowed anymore
- Support for custom symbol definitions with `symbol` function
- Symbols now listed in documentation
- New `{math}` module

- Delimiter matching in math
- Any opening delimiters matches any closing one
- When matched, they automatically scale
- To prevent scaling, escape them

- Delimiters may also be unbalanced
- You can also use the `lr` function to scale the brackets (or just one
bracket) to a specific size manually

- The `&` character defines an alignment point
- Alignment points also work for underbraces, vectors, cases, and matrices
- Multiple alignment points are supported
- More capable math function calls
- Function calls directly in math can now take code expressions with hash
- They can now also take named arguments
- Within math function calls, semicolons turn preceding arguments to arrays to
support matrices: `[$mat(1, 2; 3, 4)$]`
- Arbitrary content in math
- Text, images, and other arbitrary content can now be embedded in math
- Math now also supports font fallback to support e.g. CJK and emoji
