Is it worth updating to 4 while 5 just got released?

[cderv]

Probably not... I was not aware of 5 being out. Really recent... Thanks for the heads up !

[cderv]

Though this will depend on Pandoc support to be able to provide some new feature like scroll maybe 🤔 We'll see

I am very interested in the expected timeline for this.

Also, would be interested in a basic guide to dropping in an updated version of revealjs in my quarto stack manually until such a time as an official release!

That's not a thing that will ever work well in Quarto, so please don't expect it.
