##
[0.16.0](hugr-py-v0.15.4...hugr-py-v0.16.0)
(2026-04-01)

This release changes the default text serialization format from JSON to
`MODEL_WITH_EXTS` (the JSON format is now deprecated).
It also adds the ability to link packages and modules from Python,
renders operation type arguments in HUGR visualizations, introduces a
new `debug_info` module for attaching source-level debug metadata to
nodes,
and introduces multi-version support in `ExtensionRegistry`, allowing
different versions of the same extension to coexist in the same
registry.


### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

* `ExtensionRegistry` may now contain multiple versions of the same
extension. `.extensions` is now an iterator of the latest versions
instead of a dictionary. `.register_updated` and `.add_extension` have
been replaced with a singular `.register`.
* Default `EnvelopeConfig` changed from `EnvelopeFormat.JSON` to
`EnvelopeFormat.MODEL_WITH_EXTS`.
* Substituted `hugr-py/src/hugr/tys.py::_type_str` with
`hugr-py/src/hugr/utils.py::name_w_args`.
