* Optimized handling of format specifiers during format string compilation.
For example, hexadecimal formatting (``"{:x}"``) is 3-7x faster when using
``format_to`` with format string compilation and a stack-allocated buffer
(`#1944 <https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1944>`_).

In other cases, especially involving ``std::string`` construction, the speed
up can be lower.
* Added the ``_cf`` user-defined literal to represent a compiled format string.
It can be used instead of the ``FMT_COMPILE`` macro

* Optimized handling of format specifiers during format string
compilation, including but not limited to hexadecimal formatting
(`#1944 <https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1944>`_).
* Added support for ``std::byte`` and other formattable types to ``fmt::join``
