Typsastra v0.4.1 is a maintenance and rebranding release for the complex-script-first Typst environment formerly known as Typstry.

Rebranding

  • Renamed the project and desktop application from Typstry to Typsastra.
  • Introduced a new Typsastra visual identity, including the wordmark, application icon, favicon, installer icons, and bundled example branding.
  • Updated application metadata, documentation, repository links, project archive terminology, MIME information, and platform integration to use the Typsastra name.
  • Existing Typst source remains ordinary, portable .typ content; the rebrand does not change the Typst language or document format.

Preview and editing reliability

  • Added an explicit Reveal Cursor in Preview action for reliable, user-controlled forward synchronization.
  • Added a manual preview recompile control.
  • Fixed preview recompilation after resetting the active main document.
  • Fixed horizontal panning while using fit-to-width or fit-to-page modes.
  • Reduced redundant PDF source-map session resets.
  • Improved save and preview-session behavior after disabling unreliable automatic cursor-driven synchronization.
  • Improved PDF refresh cancellation and memory behavior during rapid edits.

Workspace and language-tool improvements

  • Remembered the last applied typography and font choices.
  • Made font-rescaling changes restart preview reliably.
  • Highlighted the active file in the project explorer.
  • Grouped unknown words and added navigation between their locations.
  • Refreshed the bundled example projects and Typsastra introductory material.

Documentation and performance

  • Published reproducible benchmark results for startup, compilation, preview, project search, memory use, and related performance areas.
  • Added the v0.5.0 roadmap for bidirectional and right-to-left editing.
  • Added the v0.6.0 roadmap for research-productivity tools, discoverability, bibliography workflows, builders, templates, and toolchain visibility.
  • Expanded documentation for manual source synchronization, project workflows, language tooling, and the renamed product.

Platform status

  • Windows and Linux remain the most actively tested platforms.
  • macOS builds remain experimental.
  • Typsastra remains beta software; the v0.4.x line prioritizes bug fixes, performance, reliability, and small additions to existing workflows.
