Quarto V1.4 is officially released:

> **[Quarto - Quarto 1.4](https://quarto.org/docs/blog/posts/2024-01-24-1.4-release/)**
>
> Quarto 1.4 brings new formats for dashboards and Typst, a new manuscript project type, a cross-reference overhaul, Shiny for Python support, and a ton of other updates.

The full changelog is massive, but at least for Scrivener users the big changes are more flexible cross-referencing and bundling [Typst](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/typst-a-new-markup-page-layout-engine-to-take-on-latex/134674). Quarto therefore now integrates Pandoc, custom filters and templates, and the Typst PDF engine, so you can go from flexible plain text to complex layout finalised PDF (alongside HTML/DOCX/websites etc.) without any other dependencies…
