With version 0.5.0, we are introducing several major improvements including:

• datetime support for time series plotting,
• relative sizing for diagrams,
• and significant performance improvements through integration with the package Komet.

With version 0.4.0, we finally get

• color bars,
• plot smoothing,
• a tutorial on ticks,
• $\pi$-based scales,
• individual addressing of the $x$ and $y$ grid

and a lot more.

The new version ships with a set of predefined themes that you can use to quickly change the style of your plots.

Moreover, various improvements to important components of Lilaq have been made along with the addition of a large selection of scientific and colorblind-friendly color maps.

Notably, we have added a new tutorial on data loading with Typst and Lilaq.

With this release, important improvements are made to the defaults, prominently including a new default color cycle.

Today we release the first official version of Lilaq.

This is a first and early release of Lilaq, starting an initiatory testing phase. During this phase, many breaking changes will be made in order to improve the overall quality as much as possible.
