With Posit::conf(2023L) Conference now in the rearview mirror, we’re excited to announce the release of quarto-webr version 0.3.6! This release brings a series of improvements to the Quarto extension based on community feedback. Most notably, the run selected code shortcut has been improved to now also run the current line if no selection is present and advance to the next. We’ve also worked on improving the getting started documentation by adding a walkthrough video, a new page containing community examples, and providing examples of how code cells could be used to explore what-if scenarios.
