This release adds Traditional Chinese support and fixes table layout, text rendering, placeholder handling, and TypeScript compatibility.

New

• Add Traditional Chinese (lang: 'zh-TW') support for UI options, translations, date formatting, and the playground language selector. (#1605)

Fixes

• Tables: Account for cell padding and borders when measuring wrapped text and row height, preventing text from overflowing into or being hidden by the next row. (#1602)
• Tables: Preserve default styles when optional properties such as padding or border width are omitted. (#1597)
• Dynamic layout: Prevent PDF generation from failing when a shrinking table shifts overlapping content above the page content area. (#1599)
• Multi-variable text: Render the text correctly after the last variable is removed, and preserve line breaks while editing. (#1564)
• Placeholders: Keep unmatched braces as literal text instead of throwing and interrupting rendering. For example, ok {1+1} bad {{1} becomes ok 2 bad {{1}. (#1604)
• Empty text: Skip background and border decoration for empty text values in generated PDFs. (#1554)
• TypeScript: Fix @pdfme/pdf-lib declaration imports for NodeNext and Node16 consumers, including projects with skipLibCheck: false. Add packed-package consumer checks to CI and publishing. (#1603)
• Playground: Fix Monaco 0.56 imports and editor service initialization. (#1600)

Dependencies and tooling

• Upgrade pako from 2.1.0 to 3.0.1 and update compression imports. (#1582)
• Upgrade development tooling to TypeScript 7, jsdom 30, and Testing Library jest-dom 7. (#1583, [#1588], [#1589], [#1581], [#1594])
• Update Node.js type definitions and grouped runtime/development dependencies. (#1593, [#1580], [#1592])

Upgrade notes

• Table layouts may change: Corrected row heights can make tables taller and change page breaks or page counts. Check templates with tightly positioned content below tables, large padding, or thick borders.
• Empty text no longer draws its background or border in generated PDFs. If a template uses an empty text field for decoration, use a shape field instead.
