+title: Quarto 1.7 
+description: |
+  Quarto 1.7 brings big improvements to dark mode along with updates to Typst, Pandoc, a new `version` shortcode, and improvements to the `julia` engine.
+categories:
+  - Quarto 1.7
+  - Releases
+author: Charlotte Wickham
+date: "2025-04-28"
+draft: false
+image: thumbnail-1.7.jpeg
+image-alt: "Quarto 1.7: half the Quarto logo is light on dark, the other half dark on light"
+---
+
+Quarto 1.7 is out! You can get the current release from the [download page](/docs/download/index.qmd).
+
+We are especially enthusiastic about the improvements 1.7 brings to dark mode: you can now specify light and dark themes via brand, map computational outputs to themes, and have your website theme follow your viewer's preference.
+To celebrate these changes, this site, [quarto.org](/), now has a light and dark mode.
+Toggle the switch in the navigation bar (`<i class="bi bi-toggle-off"></i>`{=html}) to see the difference.
+
+You can read about these improvements and some other highlights below. You can find all the changes in this version in the [Release Notes](/docs/download/changelog/1.7/).
+
+## Dark Mode Improvements
+
+### Specify light and dark themes via **brand.yml**
+
+You can now specify a light and dark brand.
+For example, at a project-level you can provide two brand files:
+
+```{.yaml filename="_quarto.yml"}
+brand:
+  light: light-brand.yml
+  dark: dark-brand.yml
+```
+
+Standalone HTML pages, websites, and dashboards will gain a light switch toggle allowing viewers to switch between the light and dark themes. 
+
+::: {layout-ncol=2}
+
+![`light` brand](light.png){fig-alt="Screenshot of a webpage with a light blue body and charcoal text. A switch toggle in the navbar is 'off'."}
+
+![`dark` brand](dark.png){fig-alt="Screenshot of a webpage with a dark charcoal body and light blue text. A switch toggle in the navbar is 'on'."}
+
+:::
+
+
+By default Typst documents will use the light brand, but you can set the `brand-mode` option to use the dark brand instead:
+
+```{.yaml filename="document.qmd"}
+---
+format:
+  typst:
+    brand-mode: dark
+---
+```
+
+Read about other ways to set a light and dark brand in [Guide > Brand](/docs/authoring/brand.qmd#dark-brand).
+
+
+###  Map computational outputs to themes
+
+A new code cell option, `renderings`, allows you to indicate which computational outputs should be displayed in light and dark mode. 
+Create light and dark versions of your outputs in a single code cell, 
+and add the option `renderings` to specify the order of the outputs.
+For example, this cell creates a `light` version of a plot, 
+then a `dark` version:
+
+```{r}
+#| echo: fenced
+#| renderings: [light, dark]
+plot(1:10) # Shown in `light` mode
+
+par(bg = "#000000", fg = "#FFFFFF", col.axis = "#FFFFFF")
+plot(1:10) # Shown in `dark` mode
+```
+
+Both outputs are produced, but you'll only see the one corresponding to the current state of the light switch.
+Toggle the switch in the navigation bar to see the image change to reflect the theme.
+
+### Respect user color scheme
+
+Set the new `html` format option `respect-user-color-scheme` to `true` if you would like your site to honor the viewer’s operating system or browser preference for light or dark mode:
+
+```{.yaml filename="_quarto.yml"}
+format:
+  html:
+    respect-user-color-scheme: true
+```
+
+## Other Highlights
+
+-  Typst updated to 0.13.0
+-  Pandoc updated to 3.6.3
+-  New [`version` shortcode](/docs/authoring/version.qmd) to insert the version of Quarto used to build your document:
+   
+   ::: {layout-ncol=2 layout-valign="center"}
+   
+   ```{.markdown shortcodes="false"}
+   Rendered with Quarto {{< version >}}
+   ```
+   ::: {.border .p-1}
+   Rendered with Quarto {{< version >}}
+   :::
+
+   :::
+
+-  Improvements to the `julia` engine: 
+   - [`juliaup` integration](/docs/computations/julia.qmd#juliaup-integration): Use specific versions of Julia in your notebooks.
+   
+   - [R and Python support](/docs/computations/julia.qmd#r-and-python-support): Include `{r}` and `{python}` executable code cells via the RCall and PythonCall packages.
+   
+   - [Caching](/docs/computations/julia.qmd#caching-julia): Save time rendering long-running notebooks by caching results.
+   
+   - [Revise.jl integration](/docs/computations/julia.qmd#revise.jl-integration): Automatically update function definitions in Julia sessions.
