# Changelog
+## Unreleased
+- Tables (thanks to [@PgBiel](https://github.com/PgBiel))
+ - Tables are now _much_ more flexible
+ - Added [`table.cell`] element for per-cell configuration
+ - Cells can now span multiple [columns]($table.cell.colspan) or
+ [rows]($table.cell.rowspan)
+ - The [stroke]($table.cell.stroke) of individual cells can now be customized
+ - The [`align`]($table.align) and [`inset`]($table.inset) arguments of the
+ table function now also take `{(x, y) => ..}` functions
+ - Added [`table.hline`] and [`table.vline`] for convenient line customization
+ - Added [`table.header`] element for table headers that repeat on every page
+ - Added [`table.footer`] element for table footers that repeat on every page
+ - All the new table functionality is also available for [grids]($grid)
+ - Fixed gutter-related bugs
+
+- Templates
+ - You can now use template packages to get started with new projects. Click
+ _Start from template_ on the web app's dashboard and choose your preferred
+ template or run the `typst init <template>` command in the CLI. You can
+ [browse the available templates here]($packages/?templates).
+ - Switching templates after the fact has become easier. You can just import a
+ styling function from a different template package.
+ - Package authors can now submit their own templates to the
+ [package repository](https://github.com/typst/packages). Share a template
+ for a paper, your school, or an original work to help the community get a
+ head start on their projects.
+ - Templates and packages are now organized by category and discipline. Filter
+ packages by either taxonomy in the _Start from template_ wizard. If you are
+ a package author, take a look at the new documentation for
+ [categories](https://github.com/typst/packages/blob/main/CATEGORIES.md) and
+ [disciplines](https://github.com/typst/packages/blob/main/DISCIPLINES.md).
+
+- Context
+ - Added _context expressions:_ Read the chapter on [context] to get started
+ - With context, you can access settable properties, e.g. `{context text.lang}`
+ to access the language set via `{set text(lang: "..")}`
+ - The following existing functions have been made contextual: [`query`],
+ [`locate`], [`measure`], [`counter.display`], [`counter.at`],
+ [`counter.final`], [`state.at`], and [`state.final`]
+ - Added contextual methods [`counter.get`] and [`state.get`] to retrieve the
+ value of a counter or state in the current context
+ - Added contextual function [`here`] to retrieve the [location] of the current
+ context
+ - The [`locate`] function now returns the location of a selector's unique
+ match. Its old behaviour has been replaced by context expressions and only
+ remains temporarily available for compatibility.
+ - The [`counter.at`] and [`state.at`] methods are now more flexible: They
+ directly accept any kind of [locatable]($location/#locatable) selector with
+ a unique match (e.g. a label) instead of just locations
+ - When context is available, [`counter.display`] now directly returns the
+ result of applying the numbering instead of yielding opaque content. It
+ should not be used anymore without context. (Deprecation planned)
+ - The [`state.display`] function should not be used anymore, use [`state.get`]
+ instead (Deprecation planned)
+ - The `location` arguments of [`query`], [`counter.final`], and
+ [`state.final`] should not be used anymore (Deprecation planned)
+ - The [`styles`]($measure.styles) argument of the `measure` function should
+ not be used anymore (Deprecation planned)
+ - The [`style`] function should not be used anymore, use context instead
+ (Deprecation planned)
+ - The correct context is now also provided in various other places where it is
+ available, e.g. in show rules, layout callbacks, and numbering functions
+ in the outline
+
+- Styling
+ - Fixed priority of multiple [show-set rules]($styling/#show-rules): They now
+ apply in the same order as normal set rules would
+ - Show-set rules on the same element
+ (e.g. `{show heading.where(level: 1): set heading(numbering: "1.")}`) now
+ work properly
+ - Setting properties on an element within a transformational show rule (e.g..
+ `{show heading: it => { set heading(..): it }}`) is **not** supported
+ anymore (previously it also only worked sometimes); use show-set rules
+ instead (**Breaking change**)
+ - Text show rules that match their own output now work properly
+ (e.g. `` {show "cmd": `cmd`} ``)
+ - The elements passed to show rules and returned by queries now contain all
+ fields of their respective element functions rather than just specific ones
+ - All settable properties can now be used in [where]($function.where)
+ selectors
+ - [And]($selector.and) and [or]($selector.or) selectors can now be used with
+ show rules
+ - Errors within show rules and context expressions are now ignored in all but
+ the last introspection iteration, in line with the behaviour of the old
+ [`locate`]
+
+- Layout
+ - Added `reflow` argument to [`rotate`]($rotate) and [`scale`]($scale) which
+ lets them affect the layout
+ - Fixed a bug where [floating placement]($place.float) or
+ [floating figures]($figure.placement) could end up out of order
+ - Fixed overlap of text and figure for full-page floating figures
+ - Fixed various cases where the [`hide`] function didn't hide its contents
+ properly
+ - Fixed usage of [`h`] and [`v`] in [stacks]($stack)
+ - Invisible content like a counter update will no longer force a visible
+ block for just itself
+

+ - Added basic i18n for Serbian and Catalan
+ - Added support for contemporary Japanese [numbering] method
+ - Added patches for various wrong metadata in specific fonts

+
+- Model
+ - Added [`depth`]($heading.depth) and [`offset`]($heading.offset) arguments to
+ heading to increase or decrease the heading level for a bunch of content
+ - List [markers]($list.marker) now cycle by default
+ - The [`quote`] function now more robustly selects the correct quotes based on
+ language and nesting

+ by default

+ - Fixed that [`math.class`] did not affect smart limit placement
