v1.2.0

• The new fmt_number_si() function format numeric values with SI prefixes and an optional unit (which could be also 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)

• The stub() helper now works with tables having a multi-column stub (#2066). (#2069)

• Fixed issue where loading in the Unicode conversion file (for LaTeX output tables) fails (#2048). (#2049)

• Added fix to make LaTeX Unicode conversion operations optional (as well as make them work in-line) (#2037, #2041). (@thebioengineer, #2042)

• 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)

• We now correctly handle tables with a multicolumn stub in the RTF output format (#2045). (#2061)

• Added better support for LaTeX tables with a multicolumn stub (#2044). (#2051)

• The countrypops dataset has been updated to include population values up to 2024. (#2057)

• GitHub Actions workflows were updated. (@olivroy, #2077)
