RStudio 2024.09.0

What's new in this version:

New:
- Posit Product Documentation theme v4.0.2; adds dark mode and several accessibility improvements
- Added ability for RStudio and Workbench to use AES 256 encryption
- You can now toggle between R and Python in the Console by clicking the language’s logo in the Console pane header
- Allow customization of the project scratch path location
- Restart commands are now run after restoring the search path + global environment by default
- The “Save as Image” dialog now includes a “Use device pixel ratio” check box, controlling whether plots are scaled according to the current display’s DPI
- The “Soft-wrap R source files” preference now applies to all source files, and has been relabelled appropriately
- RStudio now supports Electron flags set via ~/.config/rstudio/electron-flags.conf or ~/.config/electron-flags.conf on Linux / macOS. On Windows, the paths are %LocalAppData%\RStudio\electron-flags.conf and %LocalAppData%\electron-flags.conf
- RStudio now uses a glimpse-like display for data.frame list-column entries

Posit Workbench:
- Quitting Jupyter and VS Code sessions from the home page no longer force quits them immediately; instead, they are given time to exit gracefully, as with RStudio Pro sessions
- Workbench jobs launched on Kubernetes or on Slurm with Singularity support now default to using the same container image as the parent session
- Workbench’s Prometheus metrics now track R and Python jobs launched, in addition to sessions
- When launching sessions on Slurm, environment variables set by the Slurm scheduler itself should now be available to sessions
- The launcher-sessions-forward-container-environment flag has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use launcher-sessions-forward-environment=0 to disable environment variable forwarding instead
- The New Project dialog in RStudio Pro now defaults to the R version of the current session, rather than the system default
- Workbench jobs launched from RStudio Pro now default to the R version of the current session, rather than the system default
- Added support for Jupyter Notebook 7
- Replaced code server binary with PWB Code Server. PWB Code Server is bundled with the PWB VS Code Extension, so a separate install is no longer required. It is a fork of VS Code 1.93.0
- In VS Code sessions, Workbench now preserves the open directory or workspace on a per-session basis
- Fixed an issue preventing potential data leakage between users in the same browser session. (vscode-server#17)
- Disabled Jupyter Notebooks by default on fresh installs of PWB
- Workbench now respects the SLURM_CONF environment variable, which can be used to point to a non-standard location for the Slurm configuration file. (launcher#767)
- Workbench now does a better job of tracking which Slurm jobs it owns, allowing multiple independent Workbench servers to use the same Slurm cluster, or a single Workbench server to use the same backing Slurm cluster with different configurations. (launcher#908)
- Preview of the workbench api, using api-tokens for launching sessions and session status. See documentation for details.
- Added support for just-in-time provisioning of local user accounts for Proxied Auth, OpenID Connect, and SAML Authentication. Just-in-time provisioning creates users on first login, and can serve as an alternative to SCIM-based provisioning for Identity Providers that do not support the SCIM protocol
- Workbench now has a native integration for Snowflake that includes support for managed Snowflake OAuth credentials, allowing end users to sign into a Snowflake account from the home page and, using their existing identity, be immediately granted access to data and warehouses
- Added visual credential controls to the New Session dialog to quickly sign into and select credentials for new sessions
- Added an Edit Credentials dialog to allow users to select and sign into Workbench-supported cloud providers, with a few additional controls over the selection widget
- Updated Admin Guide with additional guidance for Kubernetes installations on accessing license files from secrets and specifying PostgreSQL database passwords as environment variables
- Improved performance of Workbench when automatic user provisioning is enabled by adding support for the Workbench NSS library to communicate over unix socket

- Fixed a pagination issue in the SCIM API that could prevent more than 100 users from being provisioned via Okta
- Fixed various bugs that could cause NSS requests to fail when automatic user provisioning is enabled
