--- title: 0.7.0 description: Changes in Typst 0.7.0 --- # Version 0.7.0 (August 7, 2023) ## Text and Layout - Added support for floating figures through the [`placement`]($figure.placement) argument on the figure function - Added support for arbitrary floating content through the [`float`]($place.float) argument on the place function - Added support for loading `.sublime-syntax` files as highlighting [syntaxes]($raw.syntaxes) for raw blocks - Added support for loading `.tmTheme` files as highlighting [themes]($raw.theme) for raw blocks - Added _bounds_ option to [`top-edge`]($text.top-edge) and [`bottom-edge`]($text.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`]($text.script) argument to text function - Added [`alternative`]($smartquote.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]($place) in containers - Fixed overflowing containers due to optimized line breaks ## Export - Greatly improved export of SVG images to PDF. Many thanks to [@LaurenzV](https://github.com/LaurenzV) for their work on this. - Added support for the alpha channel of RGBA colors in PDF export - Fixed a bug with PPI (pixels per inch) for PNG export ## Math - Improved layout of primes (e.g. in `[$a'_1$]`) - Improved display of multi-primes (e.g. in `[$a''$]`) - Improved layout of [roots]($math.root) - Changed relations to show attachments as [limits]($math.limits) by default (e.g. in `[$a ->^x b$]`) - Large operators and delimiters are now always vertically centered - [Boxes]($box) in equations now sit on the baseline instead of being vertically centered by default. Notably, this does not affect [blocks]($block) because they are not inline elements. - Added support for [weak spacing]($h.weak) - Added support for OpenType character variants - Added support for customizing the [math class]($math.class) of content - Fixed spacing around `.`, `\/`, and `...` - Fixed spacing between closing delimiters and large operators - Fixed a bug with math font weight selection - Symbols and Operators **(Breaking changes)** - Added `id`, `im`, and `tr` text [operators]($math.op) - 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` ## Scripting - Fields - Added `abs` and `em` field to [lengths]($length) - Added `ratio` and `length` field to [relative lengths]($relative) - Added `x` and `y` field to [2d alignments]($align.alignment) - Added `paint`, `thickness`, `cap`, `join`, `dash`, and `miter-limit` field to [strokes]($stroke) - Accessor and utility methods - Added [`dedup`]($array.dedup) method to arrays - Added `pt`, `mm`, `cm`, and `inches` method to [lengths]($length) - Added `deg` and `rad` method to [angles]($angle) - Added `kind`, `hex`, `rgba`, `cmyk`, and `luma` method to [colors]($color) - Added `axis`, `start`, `end`, and `inv` method to [directions]($stack.dir) - Added `axis` and `inv` method to [alignments]($align.alignment) - Added `inv` method to [2d alignments]($align.alignment) - Added `start` argument to [`enumerate`]($array.enumerate) method on arrays - Added [`color.mix`]($color.mix) function - Added `mode` and `scope` arguments to [`eval`] function - Added [`bytes`] type for holding large byte buffers - Added [`encoding`]($read.encoding) argument to read function to read a file as bytes instead of a string - Added [`image.decode`]($image.decode) function for decoding an image directly from a string or bytes - Added [`bytes`] function for converting a string or an array of integers to bytes - Added [`array`] function for converting bytes to an array of integers - Added support for converting bytes to a string with the [`str`] function ## Tooling and Diagnostics - Added support for compiler warnings - Added warning when compilation does not converge within five attempts due to intense use of introspection features - Added warnings for empty emphasis (`__` and `**`) - Improved error message for invalid field assignments - Improved error message after single `#` - Improved error message when a keyword is used where an identifier is expected - Fixed parameter autocompletion for functions that are in modules - Import autocompletion now only shows the latest package version until a colon is typed - Fixed autocompletion for dictionary key containing a space - Fixed autocompletion for `for` loops ## Command line interface - Added `typst query` subcommand to execute a [query]($reference/introspection/query/#command-line-queries) on the command line - The `--root` and `--font-paths` 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-paths`) over system and embedded fonts when both exist - Fixed `typst watch` not working with some text editors - Fixed displayed compilation time (now includes export) ## Miscellaneous Improvements - Added [`bookmarked`]($heading.bookmarked) argument to heading to control whether a heading becomes part of the PDF outline - Added [`caption-pos`]($figure.caption.position) 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]($enum). 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 ## Development - 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](https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/1842) that the CLI world had ## Contributors
