Bug fix: correct grobX()/grobY() boundary points.

Bug fix: spurious “font metrics unknown” warnings in "mixed" mode.
Bug fix: CJK fallback width on Windows was ~6x too narrow.
Bug fix: layout-cache collisions between unresolved text fonts.
Hardened the OTF MATH reader against malformed fonts that could hang R.

CRAN release: 2026-06-01

Accept raw latex code from other packages, like xtable::print.xtable() / knitr::kable() / booktabs output.
New MicroTeX commands \thickhline and \cline{a-b}.
New itemize and enumerate list environments. Lists may nest.
Bug fix: $…$ inside tabular cells no longer chops the table.
Bug fix: starred alignment envs (align*, eqnarray*, …) now render.
Bug fix: latex_wrap() is now vectorised over its input, matching its documented contract, and errors on NA input instead of rendering “NA”.
Bug fix: the \mark{} macro survives a microtex_release() / re-init cycle.
gp$col transparency is now honoured (alpha passed through to MicroTeX).
Macro expansion warns on circular definitions instead of silently producing wrong output.

Self-contained load_font() example so CRAN’s donttest additional checks no longer fail on the unreliable CTAN font download.
New commands.

Support the \def command
New function grobMark.
Bug fix ggplot2 integration.
Bug fix coloring body.
ggplot2 integration respects latex_options.
Defer systemfonts registration of the bundled Lete and STIX fonts to first render. This avoids the XType: Using static font registry. notice that older macOS SDKs emit on Core Text font registration, which had caused spurious WARN/NOTEs on r-oldrel-macos-arm64.
