Typst 0.7.0 (August 07, 2023)

Text and Layout

Added support for floating figures through the placement argument on the figure function
Added support for arbitrary floating content through the float argument on the place function
Added support for loading .sublime-syntax files as highlighting syntaxes for raw blocks
Added support for loading .tmTheme files as highlighting themes for raw blocks
Added bounds option to top-edge and bottom-edge arguments of text function for tight bounding boxes
Removed nonsensical top- and bottom-edge options, e.g. ascender for the bottom edge (Breaking change)
Added script argument to text function
Added alternative argument to smart quote function
Added basic i18n for Japanese
Added hyphenation support for nb and nn language codes in addition to no
Fixed positioning of placed elements in containers
Fixed overflowing containers due to optimized line breaks

Greatly improved export of SVG images to PDF. Many thanks to @LaurenzV for their work on this.
Added support for the alpha channel of RGBA colors in PDF export
Fixed a bug with PPI (pixels per inch) for PNG export

Improved layout of primes (e.g. in $a'_1$ )
Improved display of multi-primes (e.g. in $a''$ )
Improved layout of roots
Changed relations to show attachments as limits by default (e.g. in $a ->^x b$ )
Large operators and delimiters are now always vertically centered
Boxes in equations now sit on the baseline instead of being vertically centered by default. Notably, this does not affect blocks because they are not inline elements.
Added support for weak spacing
Added support for OpenType character variants
Added support for customizing the math class of content
Fixed spacing around ., \/, and ...
Fixed spacing between closing delimiters and large operators
Fixed a bug with math font weight selection
Symbols and Operators (Breaking changes)
- Added id, im, and tr text operators
- Renamed ident to equiv with alias eq.triple and removed ident.strict in favor of eq.quad
- Renamed ast.sq to ast.square and integral.sq to integral.square
- Renamed .eqq modifier to .equiv (and .neqq to .nequiv) for tilde, gt, lt, prec, and succ
- Added emptyset as alias for nothing
- Added lt.curly and gt.curly as aliases for prec and succ
- Added aleph, beth, and gimmel as alias for alef, bet, and gimel

Fields
- Added abs and em field to lengths
- Added ratio and length field to relative lengths
- Added x and y field to 2d alignments
- Added paint, thickness, cap, join, dash, and miter-limit field to strokes
Accessor and utility methods
- Added dedup method to arrays
- Added pt, mm, cm, and inches method to lengths
- Added deg and rad method to angles
- Added kind, hex, rgba, cmyk, and luma method to colors
- Added axis, start, end, and inv method to directions
- Added axis and inv method to alignments
- Added inv method to 2d alignments
- Added start argument to enumerate method on arrays
Added color.mix function
Added mode and scope arguments to eval function
Added bytes type for holding large byte buffers
- Added encoding argument to read function to read a file as bytes instead of a string
- Added image.decode function for decoding an image directly from a string or bytes
- Added bytes function for converting a string or an array of integers to bytes
- Added array function for converting bytes to an array of integers
- Added support for converting bytes to a string with the str function

Added support for compiler warnings
Added warning when compilation does not converge within five attempts due to intense use of introspection features
Added warnings for empty emphasis (__ and **)
Improved error message for invalid field assignments
Improved error message after single #
Improved error message when a keyword is used where an identifier is expected
Fixed parameter autocompletion for functions that are in modules
Import autocompletion now only shows the latest package version until a colon is typed
Fixed autocompletion for dictionary key containing a space
Fixed autocompletion for for loops

Added typst query subcommand to execute a query on the command line
The --root and --font-path arguments cannot appear in front of the command anymore (Breaking change)
Local and cached packages are now stored in directories of the form {namespace}/{name}/{version} instead of {namespace}/{name}-{version} (Breaking change)
Now prioritizes explicitly given fonts (via --font-path) over system and embedded fonts when both exist
Fixed typst watch not working with some text editors
Fixed displayed compilation time (now includes export)

Added bookmarked argument to heading to control whether a heading becomes part of the PDF outline
Added caption-pos argument to control the position of a figure’s caption
Added metadata function for exposing an arbitrary value to the introspection system
Fixed that a state was identified by the pair (key, init) instead of just its key
Improved indent logic of enumerations. Instead of requiring at least as much indent as the end of the marker, they now require only one more space indent than the start of the marker. As a result, even long markers like 12. work with just 2 spaces of indent.
Fixed bug with indent logic of raw blocks
Fixed a parsing bug with dictionaries

Extracted parser and syntax tree into typst-syntax crate
The World::today implementation of Typst dependents may need fixing if they have the same bug that the CLI world had

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
