+📣 **update on the major release**: The vast majority of things related to creating a PDF are done. 
+Major changes include: 
+- The codebase no longer uses `Decimal`.
+- The codebase no longer uses external files (some people were experiencing issues with that when trying to pack their code into an executable.)
+- `Annotation` objects have become part of the `LayoutElement` hierarchy.
+- `LayoutElement` objects are characterised by 2 methods: `get_size` and `paint`.
+- The codebase is fully checked using `mypy`.
+- The codebase is fully checked using `pydocstyle`.
+- The codebase is tested even more thoroughly (1200+ tests!)
+
+Next up is reading a PDF, after which I can work on modifying a PDF in a way that is fully consistent with the ISO standard.
