 # Changelog
 
+## [1.20.0] - 2026-04-30
+- a `GridVisualizer` can now be indexed with a single index
+- `UnicodePlots`: multiple plots are now displayed even without `Term` loaded, but only one by one
+
 ## [1.19.1] - 2026-04-27
 - several small fixes in `UnicodePlots` extension.
 - fix in slice plotting: use `simplexgrid` constructor for the resulting grid to ensure a consistent grid.
