Bug fixes:

predict_merMod() was miscalculating predictions under a specific set of conditions: When the model was fit with lme4::glmer(), the link was not identity, standard errors were simultaneously being calculated, and the user included random effects. This error has been corrected (#144)
When printing summ.glm() results with knitr, the p value for the omnibus chi-squared test is now included in the model statistics, like it already is when using the function in the console. (#138
effect_plot() no longer fails with an error when models weights are specified without a variable name. (#156)

Enhancements:

summ() will now produce model fit statistics for glm.nb models (#142).
effect_plot() now includes the argument facet.by. If you want to plot your prediction variable at multiple values of some other variable, you can pass the name of that variable to facet.by. It will, by default, create a separate plot for each unique level of that variable using ggplot2::facet_wrap(). If you only want specific levels of the facet.by variable, you can specify them by giving a vector of values to the at argument. More than most kinds of plots, you may need to do some further customization to the results of effect_plot() since the plots may not fit the space well, or you may want to rearrange into different row/column configurations, etc. I expect this to be most useful for cases when you have a multilevel model and there is a random slope specified for the pred variable. A version of this feature was requested by Github user 5tokesy (#147).
plot_coefs() now handles fixest_multi objects from the fixest package out of the box. (#123)
The omit.coefs and coefs arguments to plot_coefs() can now be modified using the new argument, coefs.match. You may use regular expressions to more efficiently match coefficient names, which will be most useful when you have models with many coefficients with predictable naming schemes. To have your arguments interepreted this way, set coefs.match = "regex". (#122)

Other changes:

Removed tidy.glht() method because the broom package now implements one. (#139)
Made broom and broom.mixed hard dependencies to help avoid user confusion and a few errors that could occur when one was missing. (#149)
cli is now used to format (colorizing, italicizing, etc.) console output rather than crayon. Please report any issues if formatting doesn't work right for you; there shouldn't be any changes from past releases.
