## [1.1] - 2024-02-25

### Added

- RenderCV is now a $\LaTeX$ CV framework. Users can move their $\LaTeX$ CV themes to RenderCV to produce their CV from RenderCV's YAML input.
- RenderCV now generates Markdown and HTML versions of the CV to allow users to paste the content of the CV to another software (like [Grammarly](https://www.grammarly.com/)) for spell checking.
- A new theme has been added: `moderncv`.
- A new theme has been added: `sb2nov`.

### Changed

- The data model is changed to be more flexible. All the sections are now under the `sections` field. All the keys are arbitrary and rendered as section titles. The entry types can be any of the six built-in entry types, and they will be detected by RenderCV for each section.
- The templating system has been changed completely.
- The command-line interface (CLI) is improved.
- The validation error messages are improved.
- TinyTeX has been moved to [another repository](https://github.com/sinaatalay/tinytex-release), and it is being pulled as a Git submodule. It is still pushed to PyPI, but it's not a part of the repository anymore.
- Tests are improved, and it uses `pytest` instead of `unittest`.
- The documentation has been rewritten.
- The reference has been rewritten.
- The build system has been changed from `setuptools` to `hatchling`.
