  Fixed

• FPDF.write_html(): Fixed rendering of content following <a> tags; now correctly resets emphasis style post </a> tag: hyperlink styling contained within the tag authority. - issue 1311
• FPDF.footer() does not "leak" its text style to the table of contents anymore
• FPDF.table(): Fixed heading styles containing underline failing to render.
• FPDF.ln(): the method now allows a value of 0 to be provided for h.
• font optimization: only include fonts effectively used in the final PDF document. Fonts added via set_font() or add_page() but not actually used in the document are no longer included in the final output. This reduces file size and improves performance, especially for documents with many fallback fonts. - issue 1382
• a KeyError was raised in some specific cases when auto-downscaling images - issue 1409

  Changed

• heading rows of tables are never rendered "alone" on a page anymore
