v0.39.0

[etrepum]

v0.39.0 is a monthly release primarily focusing on bug fixes

Breaking Changes

JSON serialization for ElementNode only includes textFormat and textStyle when necessary #7971

Previously the derived properties textFormat and textStyle would always be serialized to JSON if not set to the default values. These should only be useful when the ElementNode does not currently have any TextNode children, to preserve formatting choices, and will be recomputed when reconciled. Now they are only reconciled when they are determined to be useful (in an ElementNode with no direct TextNode children that is not a root or shadow root).
