Description

Recently I knew that I needed to update quarto-cli on my windows machine because RStudio ran into error with something like python -null which prevented me from creating a new project. Then found out it was due to Quarto. After I updated the quarto-cli to the latest version, the error disappeared.

Since Quarto is under active development, how users could know when there was a new version released?
Will there be any notification built into RStudio to get users notified?

Research direction

Define the expected notification behavior and its ownership before locating an entry point; the issue provides no file, test, or implementation boundary, and it is over two years old without a linked pull request.
