+
+QuestPDF is an open-source .NET library for PDF documents generation.
+
+It offers a layout engine designed with a full paging support in mind. The document consists of many simple elements (e.g. border, background, image, text, padding, table, grid etc.) that are composed together to create more complex structures. This way, as a developer, you can understand the behavior of every element and use them with full confidence. Additionally, the document and all its elements support paging functionality. For example, an element can be moved to the next page (if there is not enough space) or even be split between pages like table's rows.

+
+## Simplicity is the key
+
+How easy it is to start and prototype with QuestPDF? Really easy thanks to its minimal API! Please analyse the code below:
+
+```#
+using QuestPDF.Fluent;
+using QuestPDF.Helpers;
+using QuestPDF.Infrastructure;
+
+// code in your main method
+Document.Create(container =>
+{
+    container.Page(page =>
+    {
+        page.Size(PageSizes.A4);
+        page.Margin(2, Unit.Centimetre);
+        page.Background(Colors.White);
+        page.DefaultTextStyle(x => x.FontSize(20));
+        
+        page.Header()
+            .Text("Hello PDF!")
+            .SemiBold().FontSize(36).FontColor(Colors.Blue.Medium);
+        
+        page.Content()
+            .PaddingVertical(1, Unit.Centimetre)
+            .Column(x =>
+            {
+                x.Spacing(20);
+                
+                x.Item().Text(Placeholders.LoremIpsum());
+                x.Item().Image(Placeholders.Image(200, 100));
+            });
+        
+        page.Footer()
+            .AlignCenter()
+            .Text(x =>
+            {
+                x.Span("Page ");
+                x.CurrentPageNumber();
+            });
+    });
+})
+.GeneratePdf("hello.pdf");
+```
+
+And compare it to the produced PDF file:
+
+![invoice](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/QuestPDF/QuestPDF-Documentation/main/docs/public/minimal-example-shadow.png)
+
+## Are you ready for more?
+
+The Fluent API of QuestPDF scales really well. It is easy to create and maintain even most complex documents. Read [the Getting started tutorial](https://www.questpdf.com/documentation/getting-started.html) to learn QuestPDF basics and implement an invoice under 200 lines of code. You can also investigate and play with the code from [the example repository](https://github.com/QuestPDF/example-invoice).

-- Improved library performance,
-- Breaking change: changed default font from Calibri to an open-source Lato,
-- Default font files are included with the nuget package, making it safe to deploy on any environment,
-- Default font files are significantly smaller, so output document files should be smaller too (up to 20x reduction in size),
-- When requested font is not available on the runtime environment, library provides list of available fonts,
-- Fixed a rare layout overflow exception with the Inlined element,
-- Fixed a memory leak connected to the HarfBuzz library.
+2022.9.0
+- Implemented font-fallback algorithm,
+- Introduced new Settings API,
+- Significantly reduced memory allocation cost for TextStyle objects,
+- Implemented optional checking if all font glyphs are available,
+- Minor text-rendering optimizations.

+2022.9.1
+- Fixed: text hyperlinks do not work when the CheckIfAllTextGlyphsAreAvailable option or text fallback are used,
+- Fixed: cells with RowSpan (greater than 1) are not always displayed properly,
