 - `QUARTO_R_QUIET` environment variable can be used to set `quarto.quiet` option, which overrides any `quiet = TRUE` argument passed to `quarto_*` functions. This can be useful to debug Quarto rendering inside other packages, like **pkgdown**. Overrides will also now happens for [GHA debug logging](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/monitoring-and-troubleshooting-workflows/troubleshooting-workflows/enabling-debug-logging).
 
+- `.libPaths()` from the calling R session will now be passed by default to all call to quarto as a subprocess. This should solve issue with **pkgdown** or when building vignettes (thanks, )
+
 # quarto 1.4.4
 
 - `quarto_preview()` now looks at `quarto preview` log to browse to the correct url when inside RStudio viewer (thanks, @aronatkins, #167).
