quarto 1.4.4

CRAN release: 2024-07-20

• quarto_preview() now looks at quarto preview log to browse to the correct url when inside RStudio viewer (thanks, @aronatkins, #167).

• This package now uses the x.y.z.dev versionning scheme to indicate development, patch, minor and major versions. This follows Tidyverse package version conventions.

• Adapt tests for CRAN checks issues due to Quarto v1.5.54 regression (though it is fixed upstream).

• Approval check in quarto_add_extension() and quarto_use_template() now works correctly (thanks, @eveyp, #172).

quarto 1.4

CRAN release: 2024-03-06

• This version is now adapted to Quarto 1.4 latest stable release.

• Add registration of vignette engine to use quarto as a vignette builder, and use .qmd file as vignette. See vignette("hello", package = "quarto"). (thanks, @dcnorris, #57).

• New quarto_binary_sitrep() checks possible difference in Quarto binary used by this package, and the one used by RStudio IDE (thanks, @jthomasmock, #12).

• New is_using_quarto() to check if a directory requires using Quarto (i.e. it has a _quarto.yml or at least one *.qmd file) (thanks, @hadley, #103).

• New quarto_create_project() calls quarto create project <type> <name> (thanks, @maelle, #87).

• New quarto_add_extension() and quarto_use_template() to deal with Quarto extensions for a Quarto project. (thanks, @mcanouil, #45, @remlapmot, #42).

• quarto_render() and quarto_inspect() gains a profile argument (thanks, @andrewheiss, #95, @salim-b, #123).

• quarto_render() gains metadata and metadata_file arguments. They can be used to pass modified Quarto metadata at render time. If both are set, metadata will be merged over metadata_file content. Internally, metadata will be passed as a --metadata-file to quarto render (thanks, @mcanouil, #52, @maelle, #49).

• quarto_render() and all other relevant functions gain a quarto_args argument. It allows to pass additional options flag to quarto CLI. This is for advanced usage e.g. when new options are added to Quarto CLI that would not be user-facing in this package’s functions (thanks, @gadenbuie, #125).

• Add quiet argument in most functions to remove warnings and messages. It default to FALSE in most function to match with quarto CLI default.

• In quarto_render(), execute_params now converts boolean value to true/false correctly as expected by quarto render (thanks, @marianklose, #124).

• Error message now advises to re-run with quiet = FALSE because quarto_render(quiet = TRUE) will run quarto render in quiet mode (thanks to @gadenbuie, #126, @wlandau, #16).

• rsconnect R package dependency has been moved to Suggest to reduce this package’s overall number of dependencies. rsconnect package is only required for publishing using quarto_publish_*() functions. Users will be prompted to install (when in interactive mode) if not installed.

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
