Changelog

Version 0.8.0 (September 13, 2023)

• 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

February 15, 2023

February 12, 2023

• Shapes, images, and transformations (move/rotate/scale/repeat) are now 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.
• Non-math content like a shape or table in a math formula is now centered vertically
• Support for widow and orphan prevention within containers

February 2, 2023

• Merged text and math symbols, renamed a few symbols (including infty to infinity with the alias oo)
• Fixed missing italic mappings
• Math italics correction is now applied properly
• Parentheses now scale in $zeta(x/2)$
• Fixed placement of large root index
• Fixed spacing in $abs(-x)$
• Fixed inconsistency between text and identifiers in math
• Accents are now ignored when positioning superscripts
• Fixed vertical alignment in matrices
• Fixed text set rule in raw show rule
• Heading and list markers now parse consistently
• Allow arbitrary math directly in content

January 30, 2023

Go to the announcement blog post.

• New expression syntax in markup/math
  • Blocks cannot be directly embedded in markup anymore
  • Like other expressions, they now require a leading hashtag
  • More expressions available with hashtag, 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 hashtag) 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 hashtag
  • 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
  • Autocompletion for symbols and modules
  • Autocompletion for imports
  • Hover over an identifier to see its value(s)
• Further editor improvements
  • New Font menu with previews
  • Single projects may now be shared with share links
  • New dashboard experience if projects are shared with you
  • Keyboard Shortcuts are now listed in the menus and there are more of them
  • New Offline indicator
