rendercv --version

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 2.0 migrated from LaTeX to Typst. YAML schema changed significantly. Old v1.x YAML files are not compatible.

fix

Update YAML to match new schema: use 'education' section with 'institution' instead of 'school', etc. See migration guide.

affects: >=2.0

gotchaThe `rendercv` command-line tool must be run from the directory containing the YAML file, or specify full path with `-y`.

fix

Use `rendercv render -y /path/to/cv.yaml` to avoid CWD issues.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `design.seperator_between_connections` field was renamed to `design.separator_between_connections` in v1.18.

fix

Use `separator_between_connections` (correct spelling).

affects: <1.18
