-* The new `fmt_number_si()` function format numeric values with SI prefixes and an optional unit (could be obtained from a separate column), automatically selecting the appropriate prefix to keep the mantissa in a readable range (#1999). (#2060)

+* Added the `summary_columns()` function to enable horizontal, row-wise aggregation (#382). (#2067)
+
+* Added the `min_sep_threshold` argument to numeric formatting functions; this controls the minimum number of digits required in the integer part of a number for grouping separators to be applied (#908). (#2064)
 
 * Added the `omit_na_group` argument to the `gt()` function; when `TRUE`, rows with `NA` values in the `groupname_col` be excluded from row group assignment (the default of `FALSE` preserves the old behavior) (#1215). (#2062)
 
-* Update latex Unicode conversions to be optional (default to TRUE) as well as make them work in-line (@thebioengineer, #2037, #2041)
+* Ensure that the `stub()` helper works with tables having a multi-column stub (#2066). (#2069)

+* Fixed a bug where LaTeX spanner widths were based on incorrect column widths (#1922, #2016). (@shannonhaughton, #2079)
+
+* The `fmt_scientific()` function should no longer error when formatting `Inf`/`-Inf` values in a table column (#1516). (#2058)

+* Allow for horizontal alignment within cells of LaTeX output tables (#2001). (@thebioengineer, #2075)

+* Added functionality for handling tables with a multicolumn stub in the Word output format. (@romainfrancois, #2074, #2086)
