 ## New features
 
-* Added a new `input_submit_textarea()` input element, which is similar to `shiny::textAreaInput()`, but includes a submit button to only submit the text changes to the server on click. This is especially useful when the input text change triggers a long-running operation and/or the user wants to type longer-form input and review it before submitting it.

+* Added toast notifications based on [Bootstrap's Toast component](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/components/toasts/): Use `toast()` to create customizable toast objects, `show_toast()` to display a toast message, `hide_toast()` for manual dismissal, and `toast_header()` for structured headers with icons and status indicators.
