• Scripting

  • Plugins (thanks to @astrale-sharp and @arnaudgolfouse)
    • Typst can now load plugins 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
    • 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 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 renaming with as
  • Added a duration type
  • Added support for CBOR encoding and decoding
  • Added encoding and decoding functions from and to bytes for data formats: json.decode, json.encode, and similar functions for other formats
  • Added array.intersperse function
  • Added str.rev function
  • Added calc.tau constant
  • Made bytes joinable and addable
  • Made array.zip function variadic
  • Fixed bug with eval when the mode was set to "math"
  • Fixed bug with ends-with function on strings
  • Fixed bug with destructuring in combination with break, continue, and return
  • Fixed argument types of hyperbolic functions, they don't allow angles anymore (Breaking change)

• Export

  • Added SVG export (thanks to @Enter-tainer)
  • Fixed bugs with PDF font embedding
  • Added support for page labels that reflect the page numbering style in the PDF

• Text and Layout

  • Added highlight function for highlighting text with a background color
  • Added polygon.regular function for drawing a regular polygon
  • Added support for tabs in raw elements alongside tab-width parameter
  • The layout engine now tries to prevent "runts" (final lines consisting of just a single word)
  • Added Finnish translations
  • Added hyphenation support for Polish
  • Improved handling of consecutive smart quotes of different kinds
  • Fixed vertical alignments for number-align argument on page function (Breaking change)
  • Fixed weak pagebreaks after counter updates
  • Fixed missing text in SVG when the text font is set to "New Computer Modern"
  • Fixed translations for Chinese
  • Fixed crash for empty text in show rule
  • Fixed leading spaces when there's a linebreak after a number and a comma
  • Fixed placement of floating elements in columns and other containers
  • Fixed sizing of block containing just a single box

• Math

  • Added support for augmented matrices
  • Removed support for automatic matching of fences like | and || as there were too many false positives. You can use functions like abs or norm or an explicit lr call instead. (Breaking change)
  • Fixed spacing after number with decimal point in math
  • Fixed bug with primes in subscript
  • Fixed weak spacing
  • Fixed crash when text within math contains a newline

• Tooling and Diagnostics

  • Added hints when trying to call a function stored in a dictionary without extra parentheses
  • Fixed hint when referencing an equation without numbering
  • Added more details to some diagnostics (e.g. when SVG decoding fails)

• Command line interface

  • Added typst update command for self-updating the CLI (thanks to @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
  • Fixed crash when field wasn't present and --one is passed to typst query

• Miscellaneous Improvements

  • Added page setup guide
  • Added figure.caption function that can be used for simpler figure customization (Breaking change because it.caption now renders the full caption with supplement in figure show rules and manual outlines)
  • Moved caption-pos argument to figure.caption function and renamed it to position (Breaking change)
  • Added separator argument to figure.caption function
  • Added support for combination of and/or and before/after selectors
  • Packages can now specify a minimum compiler version they require to work
  • Fixed parser bug where method calls could be moved onto their own line for #let expressions in markup (continues to work in code)
  • Fixed bugs in sentence and title case conversion for bibliographies
  • Fixed supplements for alphanumeric and author-title bibliography styles
  • Fixed off-by-one error in APA bibliography style

• Development

  • Made Span and FileId more type-safe so that all error conditions must be handled by World implementors
