##### Highlights
- There is now a distinction between proper paragraphs and just inline-level content. This is important for future work on accessibility and means that first line indent can now be enabled for all paragraphs instead of just consecutive ones.
- The `outline` has a better out-of-the-box look and is more customizable
- The new `curve` function (that supersedes the `path` function) provides a simpler and more flexible interface for creating Bézier curves
- The `image` function now supports raw pixel raster formats for generating images from within Typst
- Functions that accept file paths now also accept raw bytes, for full flexibility
- WebAssembly plugins are more flexible and automatically run multi-threaded
- Fixed a long-standing bug where single-letter strings in math (`$"a"$`) would be displayed in italics
- You can now specify which charset should be covered by which font family
- The `pdf.embed` function lets you embed arbitrary files in the exported PDF
- HTML export is currently under active development. The feature is still _very_ incomplete, but already available for experimentation behind a feature flag.

##### Model
- There is now a distinction between proper paragraphs and just inline-level content **(Breaking change)**
  - All text at the root of a document is wrapped in paragraphs. Meanwhile, text in a container (like a block) is only wrapped in a paragraph if the container holds any block-level content. If all of the content is inline-level, no paragraph is created.
  - In the laid-out document, it's not immediately visible whether text became part of a paragraph. However, it is still important for accessibility, HTML export, and for properties like `first-line-indent`.
  - Show rules on `par` now only affect proper paragraphs
  - The `first-line-indent` and `hanging-indent` properties also only affect proper paragraphs
  - Creating a `par[..]` with body content that is not fully inline-level will result in a warning
  - The default show rules of various built-in elements like lists, quotes, etc. were adjusted to ensure they produce/don't produce paragraphs as appropriate
  - Removed support for booleans and content in `outline.indent`
- The `outline` function was fully reworked to improve its out-of-the-box behavior **(Breaking change)**
  - Outline entries are now blocks and are thus affected by block spacing
  - The `auto` indentation mode now aligns numberings and titles outline-wide for a grid-like look
  - Automatic indentation now also indents entries without a numbering
  - Titles wrapping over multiple lines now have hanging indent
  - The page number won't appear alone on its own line anymore
  - The link now spans the full entry instead of just the title and page number
  - The default spacing between outline leader dots was increased
  - The `fill` parameter was moved from `outline` to `outline.entry` and can thus be configured through show-set rules
  - Removed `body` and `page` fields from outline entry
  - Added `indented`, `prefix`, `inner`, `body`, and `page` methods on outline entries to simplify writing of show rules
- Added configuration to `par.first-line-indent` for indenting all paragraphs instead of just consecutive ones
- Added `form` parameter to `ref` function. Setting the form to `"page"` will produce a page reference instead of a textual one.
- Added `document.description` field, which results in corresponding PDF and HTML metadata
- Added `enum.reversed` parameter
- Added support for Greek numbering
- When the `link` function wraps around a container like a block, it will now generate only one link for the whole block instead of individual links for all the visible leaf elements. This significantly reduces PDF file sizes when combining `link`
