Quarto 1.11 updates its bundled Deno from 2.7.14 to 2.9.8 for a security reason: Deno 2.7.14 still trusted the compromised eMudhra / emSign intermediate certificate authorities, so an attacker on the network could impersonate any HTTPS site to quarto publish, quarto add, quarto use template, quarto install, and TypeScript scripts run by Quarto.

The 1.11 highlights get a "Dependency updates:" entry, in the same format as the 1.8 highlights, linking the Mozilla bug, the incident site, and the Deno fix (denoland/deno#37046). The entry replaces the placeholder text left from the previous release cycle.

Targets prerelease because the change only applies to the upcoming version.

Companion to quarto-dev/quarto-cli#15186

Quarto 1.11 bundles Deno 2.9.8 because Deno 2.7.14 still trusted the
compromised eMudhra / emSign certificate authorities
(quarto-dev/quarto-cli#15152). Follows the 1.8 'Dependency updates'
list format and replaces the leftover placeholder text.
