# Changes in early, unversioned Typst | |
## March 28, 2023 | |
- **Breaking changes:** | |
- Enumerations now require a space after their marker, that is, `[1.ok]` must | |
now be written as `[1. ok]` | |
- Changed default style for [term lists]($terms): Does not include a colon | |
anymore and has a bit more indent | |
- Command line interface | |
- Added `--font-path` argument for CLI | |
- Embedded default fonts in CLI binary | |
- Fixed build of CLI if `git` is not installed | |
- Miscellaneous improvements | |
- Added support for disabling [matrix]($math.mat) and [vector]($math.vec) | |
delimiters. Generally with `[#set math.mat(delim: none)]` or one-off with | |
`[$mat(delim: #none, 1, 2; 3, 4)$]`. | |
- Added [`separator`]($terms.separator) argument to term lists | |
- Added [`round`]($math.round) function for equations | |

[`location`] type | |
- Added symbols for double, triple, and quadruple dot accent | |
- Added smart quotes for Norwegian Bokmål | |

- Fixed parsing of decimals in math: `[$1.2/3.4$]` | |
- Fixed parsing of unbalanced delimiters in fractions: `[$1/(2 (x)$]` | |
- Fixed unexpected parsing of numbers as enumerations, e.g. in `[1.2]` | |
- Fixed combination of page fill and header | |
- Fixed compiler crash if [`repeat`] is used in page with automatic width | |
- Fixed [matrices]($math.mat) with explicit delimiter | |
- Fixed [`indent`]($terms.indent) property of term lists | |

<contributors from="v23-03-21" to="v23-03-28" /> | |
## March 21, 2023 | |
- Reference and bibliography management | |
- [Bibliographies]($bibliography) and [citations]($cite) (currently supported | |
styles are APA, Chicago Author Date, IEEE, and MLA) | |
- You can now [reference]($ref) sections, figures, formulas, and works from | |
the bibliography with `[@label]` | |
- You can make an element referenceable with a label: | |
- `[= Introduction <intro>]` | |
- `[$ A = pi r^2 $ <area>]` | |
- Introspection system for interactions between different parts of the document | |
- [`counter`] function | |
- Access and modify counters for pages, headings, figures, and equations | |
- Define and use your own custom counters | |
- Time travel: Find out what the counter value was or will be at some other | |
point in the document (e.g. when you're building a list of figures, you | |
can determine the value of the figure counter at any given figure). | |
- Counters count in layout order and not in code order | |
- [`state`] function | |
- Manage arbitrary state across your document | |
- Time travel: Find out the value of your state at any position in the | |
document | |
- State is modified in layout order and not in code order | |
- [`query`] function | |
- Find all occurrences of an element or a label, either in the whole | |
document or before/after some location | |
- Link to elements, find out their position on the pages and access their | |
fields | |
- Example use cases: Custom list of figures or page header with current | |
chapter title | |
- [`locate`] function | |
- Determines the location of itself in the final layout | |
- Can be accessed to get the `page` and `x`, `y` coordinates | |
- Can be used with counters and state to find out their values at that | |
location | |
- Can be used with queries to find elements before or after its location | |
- New [`measure`] function | |
- Measure the layouted size of elements | |
- To be used in combination with the new `style` function that lets you | |
generate different content based on the style context something is inserted | |
into (because that affects the measured size of content) | |
- Exposed content representation | |
- Content is not opaque anymore | |
- Content can be compared for equality | |
- The tree of content elements can be traversed with code | |
- Can be observed in hover tooltips or with [`repr`] | |
- New [methods]($content) on content: `func`, `has`, `at`, and `location` | |
- All optional fields on elements are now settable | |
- More uniform field names (`heading.title` becomes `heading.body`, | |
`list.items` becomes `list.children`, and a few more changes) | |
- Further improvements | |
- Added [`figure`] function | |
- Added [`numbering`]($math.equation.numbering) parameter on equation function | |
- Added [`numbering`]($page.numbering) and | |
[`number-align`]($page.number-align) parameters on page function | |
- The page function's [`header`]($page.header) and [`footer`]($page.footer) | |
parameters do not take functions anymore. If you want to customize them | |
based on the page number, use the new [`numbering`]($page.numbering) | |
parameter or [`counter`] function instead. | |

[`header-ascent`]($page.header-ascent) parameters | |

## February 15, 2023 | |

block-level. To integrate them into a paragraph, use a [`box`] as with other | |
elements. | |
- A colon is now required in an "everything" show rule: Write `{show: it => ..}` | |
instead of `{show it => ..}`. This prevents intermediate states that ruin your | |
whole document. | |

## January 30, 2023 | |
[Go to the announcement blog post.](https://typst.app/blog/2023/january-update) | |
- New expression syntax in markup/math | |
- Blocks cannot be directly embedded in markup anymore | |
- Like other expressions, they now require a leading hash | |
- More expressions available with hash, including literals (`[#"string"]`) 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}` | |
- Math module also reexports all of `{sym}` | |
- 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 | |
- Contains all math-related functions | |
- Variables and function calls directly in math (without hash) access this | |
module instead of the global scope, but can also access local variables | |
- Can be explicitly used in code, e.g. `[#set math.vec(delim: "[")]` | |
- Delimiter matching in math | |
- Any opening delimiters matches any closing one | |
- When matched, they automatically scale | |
- To prevent scaling, escape them | |
- To forcibly match two delimiters, use `lr` function | |
- Line breaks may occur between matched delimiters | |
- 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 | |
- Multi-line math with alignment | |
- The `\` character inserts a line break | |
- 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 | |
- More math features | |
- New text operators: `op` function, `lim`, `max`, etc. | |
- New matrix function: `mat` | |
- New n-ary roots with `root` function: `[$root(3, x)$]` | |
- New under- and overbraces, -brackets, and -lines | |
- New `abs` and `norm` functions | |
- New shorthands: `[|`, `|]`, and `||` | |
- New `attach` function, overridable attachments with `script` and `limit` | |
- Manual spacing in math, with `h`, `thin`, `med`, `thick` and `quad` | |
- Symbols and other content may now be used like a function, e.g. | |
`[$zeta(x)$]` | |
- Added Fira Math font, removed Noto Sans Math font | |
- Support for alternative math fonts through `[#show math.formula: set | |
text("Fira Math")]` | |
- More library improvements | |
- New `calc` module, `abs`, `min`, `max`, `even`, `odd` and `mod` moved there | |
- New `message` argument on `{assert}` function | |
- The `pairs` method on dictionaries now returns an array of length-2 arrays | |
instead of taking a closure | |
- The method call `{dict.at("key")}` now always fails if `"key"` doesn't exist | |
Previously, it was allowed in assignments. Alternatives are `{dict.key = x}` | |
and `{dict.insert("key", x)}`. | |
- Smarter editor functionality | |
- Autocompletion for local variables | |
- Autocompletion for methods available on a value | |
