Math

• Breaking change: Alignment points (&) in equations now alternate between left and right alignment

Scripting

• Added function scopes: A function can now hold related definitions in its own scope, similar to a module. The new assert.eq function, for instance, is part of the assert function's scope. Note that function scopes are currently only available for built-in functions.
• Added assert.eq and assert.ne functions for simpler equality and inequality assertions with more helpful error messages
• Exposed list, enum, and term list items in their respective functions' scope
• The at methods on strings, arrays, dictionaries, and content now support specifying a default value

• Fixed bug with underscore in parameter destructuring
• Fixed crash with nested patterns and when hovering over an invalid pattern
• Better error messages when casting to an integer or float fails

• Fixed automatic figure kind detection
• Made alignment of enum numbers configurable, defaulting to end
• Figures can now be made breakable with a show-set rule for blocks in figure
