 ## Major changes
 
-- The heavy **gt** dependency is replaced by the lightweight **lt** package for rendering summary tables (#371). The `lt()` generic is re-exported so `summary()` output can be rendered with `lt()` after only loading simtrial. `as_gt()` is deprecated but kept for one release; it still returns a `gt_tbl` object and now requires the suggested **gt** package to be installed.
