                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2026-08-24)                  

Improvements

  - Changed resume pagination to fill pages one rendered line at a time,
    even within multi-line and nested list items. Removed keep-together,
    widow, and orphan hints from the resume so authors retain direct
    control over breaks through content and page geometry (#47).
  - Refined resume list markers with explicit U+2022 and U+25E6 glyphs,
    with better indentation, spacing, optical sizing, and alignment
    matching similar LaTeX templates (#46).
  - Updated the cover letter signature name to upright text at the same
    size as the body copy, following standard letter formatting
    convention (#45).

New features

  - Added liteformats::include_graphics() to embed local images as
    base64 data URIs in raw HTML that can be emitted directly from
    litedown code chunks. Added a bundled signature image to the cover
    letter starter (#20).

Bug fixes

  - Fixed overly aggressive resume pagination that treated complete
    experiences and list-based sections as indivisible, leaving large
    gaps at page bottoms. Resume entries now fill the available page and
    continue across pages at normal paragraph and list boundaries while
    retaining compact list indentation (#8).

Improvements

  - Simplified resume() and cover_letter() to four primary arguments.
    Secondary metadata, typography, pagination, and PDF controls now
    live in classed resume_options() and cover_letter_options() objects.
    The same internal option schema can be reused by future document
    formats, and the canonical YAML configuration is now checked for
    unknown names (#12).
  - Refactored opt-in Google Fonts loading to use bundled font metadata.
    Font family names now request the available weights and styles
    needed for regular, bold, italic, and bold-italic text, prefer
    variable weight and slant ranges, and omit unsupported combinations.
    Full CSS v2 URLs remain supported for custom axes and newer
    families. A maintainer script was added to refresh the catalog
    without Google API credentials (#10).
  - Matched resume section divider rules to LaTeX's 0.4 TeX point rule
    thickness, using a scaled rule to avoid Chromium's 1px minimum for
    CSS borders in PDF output (#21).

Documentation

  - Qualified the namespaces in code examples of the README so they
    become self-contained. Removed configuration, typography, and
    automation details and redirect to the vignette to reduce
    duplication (#14).

                 Changes in version 0.1.0 (2026-08-05)                  

New features

  - Added resume() and cover_letter() formats for self-contained HTML
    and direct PDF output through a Chromium-based browser (#1).
  - Added use_resume() and use_cover_letter() starter documents based on
    reusable Markdown content and packaged HTML, CSS, and pages.js
    assets.
  - Added flexible controls for paper size, margins, spacing, link
    color, ligatures, font scaling, local font embedding, and opt-in
    Google Fonts.

Testing

  - Added testit coverage for starter creation, option handling, HTML
    rendering, font embedding, pagination, and PDF dispatch.

Documentation

  - Added a README quick start and a litedown-built vignette covering
    formats, typography, ATS considerations, semantic resume entries,
    and Makefile automation.
  - Documented complete, matching HTML and PDF calls for both resume and
    cover letter starters.

Maintenance

  - Vendored the MIT-licensed pages.js runtime for offline builds and
    added a maintainer script that refreshes it from the upstream source
    archive.
  - Credited the author and copyright holder of the bundled pages.js
    assets in Authors@R, and documented template styling lessons for
    maintainers.
