Quest 5.10 is now available. The main update in this release is a refreshed UI for the Editor - it now works much better on high DPI screens, and has new toolbar and menu icons. The embedded Chromium version has been updated to v147. There are also a large number of bug fixes - see the full release notes.

I did say over a year ago in the Quest 5.9 announcement that “bigger changes are coming”, and that bigger change is Quest Viva which I haven’t posted much about here yet. This is a project to finally bring Quest fully cross-platform, with a new Player and Editor that can run everywhere fully offline.
We’ve already got a version of the Player which can run cross-platform in a Docker container, but there is more work to do to get that running under WASM so that any browser can play a Quest game without there needing to be a server component.
I’ve also made a start on a version of the Editor which will also run offline in a browser using WASM.
The ultimate goal is that you’ll be able to create and play Quest games using an offline browser-based web app (or the same thing packaged with Electron etc), which should address a lot of the historic pain points (connection issues, servers going down…). Hopefully should have something to play with in the next few months.
