Quarto 1.10 shipped Friday. The highlights page lists one feature. The changelog lists 74. Mostly preview friction: stale pages, _brand.yml ignored until restart, format: changes needing two renders. If you work in Positron, that's your whole day. A boring release. Best kind.

Good news for Europe: posit::conf's virtual pass now includes auto-subtitles in French, Spanish, Portuguese, German & Italian 🎉 Plus a virtual workshop on 9/14, multiple time slots, and recordings within hours — easy to catch afternoon US sessions next morning. Join us virtually!

I am excited beyond description to lift the veil on what we have been working on in 2026: Please meet ggsql! A new extension of the SQL language for creating visualisations using the grammar of graphics. Read all about it in the blog post or visit the website at ggsql.org

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

dplyr 1.2.0

dplyr 1.2.0 fills in some important gaps in dplyr's API: we've added a new complement to `filter()` focused on dropping rows, and we've expanded the `case_when()` family with three new recoding and re...

Cette semaine, j'ai eu l'occasion de présenter une nouvelle fonctionnalité de #quarto lors des Rencontres R à Mons, en Belgique : Comment personnaliser ses documents HTML et PDF avec Quarto grâce au fichier _brand.yml ! Curieux ? ▶️ cderv.github.io/rr2025-quart... Hâte de découvrir vos usages !

Update for #quarto users producing PDF with LaTeX Since Quarto 1.8.10, the default PDF engine is now LuaLaTeX instead of XeLaTeX. This follows the recommendation in LaTeX NEWS issue 40, Nov. 2024, from the “LATEX Tagged PDF” project. Please, try it out. We don't expect much impact, though.

Hey #Quarto users ! Next v1.7 release is coming soon ! Part of the updates are about Pandoc 3.6.3 bundling with updated LaTeX templates. Latest pre-release 1.7.19 have this change: github.com/quarto-dev/q... If you are a #quarto extension developer, please try this out! Docs update soon.

I want to highlight that v0.1.1 of {ellmer} has been on CRAN for a few weeks now. This version includes a ton of improvements when using an LLM hosted on Azure, AWS, Databricks, or Snowflake from #rstats -- which is pretty common in enterprise settings. 🧵 ellmer.tidyverse.org/news/index.h...
