+#### Features 🚀
+
+- `tala-seeds` can be specified in the source code through `vars` (see manual for more)
+
+#### Improvements 🧹
+
+- Containers expand to fit large labels
+- Edge labels are placed more intelligently to avoid overlaps
+- Nodes with multiple edges to another node with long edge labels are positioned more intelligently
+- Two nodes with > 2 edges with labels strongly prefer being in horizontal orientation to each other. This increases the chance of their multiple edge labels being readable.
+- Hierarchies with multiple parents are more centered
+- Up to 20% faster
+
+#### Bugfixes ⛑️
+
+- Fixed rare panic when hierarchies with containers were used
+- Various edge cases that affect layout have been fixed
+- Fixes rare panic with multiple edges with arrowhead labels on the same table column
+- Fixes rare panic using step shapes connected to other shapes
