Footnotes

Added a Guide for LaTeX users
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

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)
Fixed styling for stretchable symbols
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

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 replacement strings: They are now inserted completely verbatim instead of supporting the previous (unintended) magic dollar syntax for capture groups
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

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

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 a button to resend confirmation email
Added an option to invert preview colors in dark mode
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
Allowed more project names
Fixed overridden Vim mode keybindings
Fixed many bugs regarding file upload and more

Improved performance of counters, state, and queries
Improved incremental parsing for more efficient recompilations

The CLI now emits escape codes only if the output is a TTY
For users of the typst crate: The Document is now Sync again and the World doesn't have to be 'static anymore
