 - Project.toml environments now support a `readonly` field to mark environments as read-only, preventing modifications.
   ([#4284])
+- `Pkg.test` now supports a `quiet` keyword argument and `--quiet` flag to suppress the dependency listing output before
+  running tests.

 - `Pkg.build` now supports an `allow_reresolve` keyword argument to control whether the build process can re-resolve
   package versions, similar to the existing option for `Pkg.test`. ([#3329])
 - Packages are now automatically added to `[sources]` when they are added by url or devved. ([#4225])
