v0.41.0

[etrepum]

v0.41.0 is a monthly release with a huge number of fixes and features from a lot of new contributors. The most notable fixes are related to IME, non-ascii keyboard layouts, and markdown.

Breaking Changes

--lexical-indent-base-value CSS moved to root element #8132

The --lexical-indent-base-value CSS custom property is now only read from the root element of the editor, so any CSS or code to set this value must target that rather than an indented element in the document. This allows the indent to be computed while the document is being rendered without layout thrashing.
