Added
* support for quadratic and cubic Bézier curves with [`FPDF.bezier()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/Shapes.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.bezier) - thanks to awmc000
* support for escape character for markers in markdown text [issue 1215](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/1215)
* Wrapping words on spaces now considers all common space symbols in addition to regular spaces (' '), addressing issues with word-wrapping for languages like Thai, as per [1190](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/1190) and [#1191](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/pull/1191).
* [`Templates`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/Templates.html) can now be also defined in JSON files.
* support to optionally set `wrapmode` in templates (default `"WORD"` can optionally be set to `"CHAR"` to support wrapping on characters for scripts like Chinese or Japanese) - _cf._ [1159](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/1159) - thanks to carlhiggs
* documentation on how to use `fpdf2` with [Rough.js](https://roughjs.com/): [link to docs](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/CombineWithRoughJS.html)
* documentation on how to use `fpdf2` with [gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/): [link to docs](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/UsageInWebAPI.html#gunicorn)
* new translation of the tutorial in Türkçe, thanks to natgho: [Türkçe](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/Tutorial-tr.html)
* feature to identify the Unicode script of the input text and break it into fragments when different scripts are used, improving [text shaping](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/TextShaping.html) results
* [`FPDF.image()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.image): now handles `keep_aspect_ratio` in combination with an enum value provided to `x`
* [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html): now supports CSS page breaks properties : [documentation](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/HTML.html#page-breaks)
* [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html): new optional `font_family` parameter to set the default font family
* [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html): spacing before lists can now be adjusted via the `tag_styles` attribute - thanks to lcgeneralprojects
* file names are mentioned in errors when `fpdf2` fails to parse a SVG image
Fixed
* [`FPDF.local_context()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.local_context) used to leak styling during page breaks, when rendering `footer()` & `header()` - MR: [1207](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/pulls/1207)
* [`fpdf.drawing.DeviceCMYK`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/drawing.html#fpdf.drawing.DeviceCMYK) objects can now be passed to [`FPDF.set_draw_color()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.set_draw_color), [`FPDF.set_fill_color()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.set_fill_color) and [`FPDF.set_text_color()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.set_text_color) without raising a `ValueError`: [documentation](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/Text.html#text-formatting).
* [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html): fixing rendering of `<hr>` tags, that do not trigger a page break anymore
* [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html): fixed automatic page break when an image does not have enough vertical space to be rendered on a page
* individual `/Resources` directories are now properly created for each document page. This change ensures better compliance with the PDF specification but results in a slight increase in the size of PDF documents. You can still use the old behavior by setting `FPDF().single_resources_object = True`
* line size calculation for fragments when [text shaping](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/TextShaping.html) is used
* [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html): fixed incoherent indentation of long `<ul>` list entries - _cf._ [issue 1073](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/1073) - thanks to lcgeneralprojects
* default values for `top_margin` and `bottom_margin` in `HTML2FPDF._new_paragraph()` calls are now correctly converted into chosen document units.
* In [text_columns()](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/extColumns.html), paragraph top/bottom margins didn't correctly trigger column breaks; [issue #1214](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/1214)
* [`fpdf.drawing.color_from_hex_string`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/drawing.html#fpdf.drawing.color_from_hex_string) did not test or mention accepting lowercase hex values.
* handling of bidirectional text on `FPDF.get_string_width()` [issue 1231]
* new translation of the tutorial in [Indonesian](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/Tutorial-id.html) - thanks to odhyp
* `RecursionError` in some cases when calling [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html) inside [`FPDF.footer()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.footer) - [issue 1222](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/1222)
Removed
* support for Python 3.7, that reached [end-of-life](https://devguide.python.org/versions/#supported-versions) in 2023
* an obscure and undocumented [feature](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/1198) of [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html), which used to magically pass instance attributes as arguments.
Deprecated
* `fpdf.TitleStyle` has been renamed into [`fpdf.TextStyle`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fonts.html#fpdf.fonts.TextStyle)
* [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html): `tag_indents` introduced in the last version - Now the indentation can be provided through the `tag_styles` parameter, using the `.l_margin` of `TextStyle` instances
Changed
* [`FPDF.local_context()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.local_context) used to treat `font_size` as a value in points. Now this is the role of `font_size_pt`, whereas `font_size` allows to set the font size into chosen document units (specified with `FPDF(unit=)`) - MR: [1207](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/pulls/1207)
* [`FPDF.circle()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.circle) : the previous `r` parameter, that in fact defined the diameter, has been replaced by a new `radius` paremeter. The `x` & `y` parameters now define the circle **center**, instead of its top-left corner as it used to be - [issue 1245](https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/issues/1245)
* [`FPDF.table()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/Tables.html) now raises an error when a single row is too high to be rendered on a single page
* [`FPDF.write_html()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.write_html): indentation of HTML elements can now be non-integer (float), and is now independent of font size and bullet strings.
* improved performance of font glyph selection by using functools cache
* Clarified usage of the `style` attribute in [`FPDF.add_font()`](https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.add_font)
