What is Logto?

Logto shows a single sub-package bump — no substantive changelog content

The only visible changelog entry for Logto is a monorepo sub-package release (@logto/[email protected]) with no content beyond the version tag itself. This is a UI string sub-package, likely published automatically alongside a larger Logto release that isn't captured here.

What is quarto?

Quarto relicenses its VS Code extension to MIT, removing the last legal friction for commercial bundling and forking.

Quarto's VS Code extension is shipping monthly with a consistent focus on cell editing quality and Positron (Posit's scientific IDE) integration depth. Recent releases added live diagnostics in .qmd code cells (squiggly underlines from language servers), LSP memory optimization that avoids starting the language server in non-Quarto workspaces, Julia cell execution in Positron, and a suite of cell editing tools — comment reflow, insert-cell split behavior, and option comment highlighting. The v1.137.0 MIT relicense is the most significant standalone move in the window.

◆ Current state

Quarto relicenses its VS Code extension to MIT, removing the last legal friction for commercial bundling and forking.

◆ Current state

Quarto's VS Code extension is shipping monthly with a consistent focus on cell editing quality and Positron (Posit's scientific IDE) integration depth. Recent releases added live diagnostics in .qmd code cells (squiggly underlines from language servers), LSP memory optimization that avoids starting the language server in non-Quarto workspaces, Julia cell execution in Positron, and a suite of cell editing tools — comment reflow, insert-cell split behavior, and option comment highlighting. The v1.137.0 MIT relicense is the most significant standalone move in the window.

◆ Where it's heading

The Positron integration thread is consistent across six releases: Quarto is building toward being the canonical authoring surface for Posit's scientific stack. The MIT relicense and the public CLI API (added in v1.128) together suggest Quarto is preparing for a world where other tools embed or extend it, not just where Quarto ships a standalone extension.

◆ Prediction

The next likely moves are external tools using the public CLI API to query Quarto availability, and potentially other IDEs or platforms bundling the MIT-licensed extension rather than building their own Quarto integration.
