Same for TeX: quarto install tinytex now pulls from tlnet.yihui.org, refreshed daily, not whichever CTAN mirror is stale that week. Same mirror R's tinytex took in March. Font fallbacks also stopped crashing LuaLaTeX on TeX Live 2026. quarto.org/docs/download/changelog/1.10/

We move the bundled tools every release, and 1.10 is a big one: Pandoc 3.8.3 → 3.10, Typst 0.14.2 → 0.15.1, plus dart-sass 1.101 and Deno 2.7.14. Quarto ships its own copies, so every fix those projects landed since 1.9 arrives with the upgrade.

The one piece of real new work is accessibility. The built-in axe check now maps each violation to its WCAG level and sorts by impact — and axe-core is bundled, so scans run offline and readers' browsers stop pulling a script from a CDN.

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.

IDK works for me using beads_rust. Heads up Project is kind of stale as the developer moved to an other one but PR still merged if some fix pushed. Also I use it mainly to search and organize - AI is creating beads for me using command line.

Christophe Dervieux @cderv.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

- agentsview as AI session explorer. Useful to find back past session info, and follow work too. I have it opened when I work. - rtk as a way to save tokens. This is configured as a claude hook and used automatically. (3/3)

Christophe Dervieux @cderv.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

- roborev for local AI code review . It is opened as daemons in background, and configure as a git hook, so it is triggered at each commits. And I also call it manually too. This helps me check code quality of what AI agents can code. (2/3)

This bucket contains tools I encountered along my journey for my dev workflow. Today I use - beads_rust as a local task tracker for when I work with AI so I can save between session. I use Beads Task-Issue Tracker for a GUI. I stopped using beads (the go version) (1/3)

- Possibly shipping this with another type of extension. We don't have yet a Brand Extension type but we are thinking about it. This would be the right way to distribute this, as with other extensions like filters or shortcode.

110

Christophe Dervieux @cderv.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

There is no built in way for this. I mean `_brand.yml` needs to be locally present. Though several tools can help - pre-render script for a project making sure local version is sync with an online one. - extension for project template that would ship the file as starter pack for any new project

110

Christophe Dervieux @cderv.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

So if your extension is just styling you may be able to use _brand.yml file only and "distribute" this file. Though depending on what you customize a theme through .scss is interesting. Using a Format extension for Reveals allows to customize configuration of the default format and ship resources.
