Announcement text:biblatex-abs-annote v0.1.1 is a new biblatex supplement for producing annotated bibliographies. For each entry it renders, beneath the citation, the abstract and a user-written annotation drawn from standard biblatex fields (annote is accepted as a synonym for annotation); either field may be omitted per entry without special handling. The package composes with any biblatex style by patching the sixteen standard drivers, and all label, font, indent, and spacing choices are customizable. biblatex-abs-annote is the LaTeX component of the cross-format ab-annotate toolchain (GitHub: cwimpy/ab-annotate), which provides the same behavior for Typst and Quarto from a shared .bib file. Suggestions and bug reports are welcome.

Now if a whole align block has been added or removed, it can be mark with just a simple change of the envormoment name, overcoming the limitations in v1.0 of needing to manage aling tabs. The new environments are highly customizable, and per-line support is still available via the \removedeqline command and it's friends, which got minor bug fixes.
xreview 2.0 also introduces some convenience macros such as \remspace and \remnbsp to handle whitespace near removed text, to ensure both the clean and annotated versions look as good as they can!
