 ### Added
 
+* Added comprehensive form diagram creation methods to `FormDiagram` class:
+  * `create_cross()` - Creates cross discretisation with orthogonal arrangement and quad diagonals
+  * `create_fan()` - Creates fan discretisation with straight lines to corners
+  * `create_parametric_fan()` - Creates parametric fan diagrams with lambda parameter control
+  * `create_cross_with_diagonal()` - Creates cross discretisation with diagonal lines
+  * `create_ortho()` - Creates orthogonal discretisation
+  * `create_circular_radial()` - Creates circular radial form diagrams with equally spaced hoops
+  * `create_circular_radial_spaced()` - Creates circular radial form diagrams with hemispheric spacing
+  * `create_circular_spiral()` - Creates circular spiral form diagrams
+  * `create_arch()` - Creates arch form diagrams with semicircular projection
+  * `create_arch_equally_spaced()` - Creates arch form diagrams with equally spaced nodes
+* Added support assignment methods:
+  * `assign_support_type()` - Assigns supports based on type ("corners" or "all")
+* Added corner detection functionality:
+  * `corner_vertices()` - Identifies corner vertices on boundary with configurable angle threshold
+* Added comprehensive mesh creation functions in `diagram_rectangular.py`:
+  * `create_cross_mesh()` - Creates cross pattern meshes
+  * `create_fan_mesh()` - Creates fan pattern meshes
+  * `create_parametric_fan_mesh()` - Creates parametric fan meshes with lambda interpolation
+  * `create_cross_with_diagonal_mesh()` - Creates cross meshes with diagonals
+  * `create_ortho_mesh()` - Creates orthogonal grid meshes
+* Added circular mesh creation functions in `diagram_circular.py`:
+  * `create_circular_radial_mesh()` - Creates circular radial meshes
+  * `create_circular_radial_spaced_mesh()` - Creates hemispherically spaced circular meshes
+  * `create_circular_spiral_mesh()` - Creates circular spiral meshes
+* Added arch mesh creation functions in `diagram_arch.py`:
+  * `create_arch_linear_mesh()` - Creates arch meshes with semicircular projection
+  * `create_arch_linear_equally_spaced_mesh()` - Creates arch meshes with equally spaced nodes
+
 ### Changed
 
+* Refactored parameter passing from `xy_span=[[x0, x1], [y0, y1]]` to `x_span=(x0, x1), y_span=(y0, y1)` for better API consistency
+* Changed `center` parameter from list to tuple in circular diagram functions for immutability and consistency
+* Updated function signatures to use single-line format for Black compatibility
+* Improved code formatting and linting across all diagram generation files
+* Fixed various spelling errors and documentation formatting issues
+* Renamed `create_delta_form()` to `create_cross_with_diagonal()` for better clarity
+* Updated support assignment to use `is_support` attribute instead of deprecated `is_fixed`
+* Removed deprecated `form.parameters` usage from all form creation methods
