- Autoformat: Reserved keywords are formatted to be lowercase [#2098](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2098)

- Imports: can now import from absolute file paths [#2113](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2113)
- Render: linear and radial gradients are now available for `fill`, `stroke` and `font-color` [#2120](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2120)

#### Improvements ๐Ÿงน

- Sequence diagram: edge groups account for edge label heights [#2038](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2038)
- Sequence diagram: self-referential edges account for edge label heights [#2040](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2040)

- Sequence diagram: Image shape actors can use spans and notes [#2056](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/issues/2056)
- Globs: Filters work with default values (e.g. `&opacity: 1` will capture everything without opacity explicitly set) [#2090](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2090)
- Render: connection label fills have a bit of padding and border-radius for better aesthetics [#2094](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2094)
- Sequence diagram: the padding between message labels and message endpoints are slightly increased [#2096](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2096)
- Render: code syntax highlighter dependency upgrade caused some slight subtle color changes in code snippets [#2119](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2119)
