• Improvements to the julia engine:

  • juliaup integration: Use specific versions of Julia in your notebooks.
  • R and Python support: Include {r} and {python} executable code cells via the RCall and PythonCall packages.
  • Caching: Save time rendering long-running notebooks by caching results.
  • Revise.jl integration: Automatically update function definitions in Julia sessions.

• Updated LaTeX and Beamer template partials:

  These changes reflect the updates made in Pandoc 3.5 to separate the LaTeX and Beamer document templates and introduce some additional partials for both. If you have custom formats that provide custom templates or partials, you may need to update them to work with the new partials.

• Typst updated to 0.13.0

• Pandoc updated to 3.6.3
