RStudio 2024.09.0
“Cranberry Hibiscus”
Date: 2024-09-23
Posit Product Documentation theme v4.0.2; adds dark mode and several accessibility improvements. (rstudio-pro#6373)
Added ability for RStudio and Workbench to use AES 256 encryption. (rstudio-pro#4011)
RStudio
You can now toggle between R and Python in the Console by clicking the language’s logo in the Console pane header. (#11613)
Allow customization of the project scratch path location. (#14875)
Restart commands are now run after restoring the search path + global environment by default. (#14636)
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. (#14727)
The “Soft-wrap R source files” preference now applies to all source files, and has been relabelled appropriately. (#10940)
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
. (#14641)
RStudio now uses a glimpse-like display for data.frame list-column entries. (#14257)
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. (rstudio-pro#5317)
Workbench jobs launched on Kubernetes or on Slurm with Singularity support now default to using the same container image as the parent session. (rstudio-pro#5875)
Workbench’s Prometheus metrics now track R and Python jobs launched, in addition to sessions. (rstudio-pro#6271)
When launching sessions on Slurm, environment variables set by the Slurm scheduler itself should now be available to sessions. (rstudio-pro#5148, rstudio-pro#4692, rstudio-pro#3255)
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. (rstudio-pro#5895)
The New Project dialog in RStudio Pro now defaults to the R version of the current session, rather than the system default. (rstudio-pro#4244)
Workbench jobs launched from RStudio Pro now default to the R version of the current session, rather than the system default. (rstudio-pro#5903)
Added support for Jupyter Notebook 7. (rstudio-pro#6266)
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. (rstudio-pro#6265)
In VS Code sessions, Workbench now preserves the open directory or workspace on a per-session basis. (rstudio-pro#6491)
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. (rstudio-pro#6269)
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. (rstudio-pro#5909)
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. (rstudio-pro#6280)
Added visual credential controls to the New Session dialog to quickly sign into and select credentials for new sessions. (rstudio-pro#6287)
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. (rstudio-pro#6287)
Updated Admin Guide with additional guidance for Kubernetes installations on
accessing license files from secrets
and
specifying PostgreSQL database passwords as environment variables
. (rstudio-pro#5312)
Improved performance of Workbench when automatic user provisioning is enabled by adding support for the Workbench NSS library to communicate over unix socket. (rstudio-pro#6591)

We have removed support for decrypting or providing encrypted database passwords for the internal PostgreSQL database. Instead, we now strongly recommend a more robust authentication mechanism, such as SSL certificate-based authentication. When a password appears to be encrypted, Workbench will log a warning, and attempt to use it as an unencrypted password. For more information please see the
Posit Workbench admin guide section on PostgreSQL
.
RStudio

Adds
-l
(long) option to
rserver-url
. When
/usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/rserver-url -l <port number>
is executed within a VS Code or Jupyter session, the full URL where a user can view a server proxied at that port is displayed (rstudio-pro#3620)
Support
launcher-local-proxy
load balancing option to ensure that session requests are always proxied from the local workbench server in a cluster. Eliminates the need to open a range of ports in the firewall for sessions to be reached by other workbench servers (rstudio/rstudio-pro#3670)
Redesigned the session launch dialog from the homepage to show all session types at once (rstudio-pro#3646)
Enabled the Job Launcher with the Local Launcher by default in clean installations of Workbench (rstudio-pro#3571)

Sets the
UVICORN_ROOT_PATH
environment variable to the proxied port URL for port 8000 in VS Code and Jupyter sessions, allowing FastAPI applications to run without additional configuration. (rstudio-pro#2660)
Workbench now checks for the
code-server
binary in the
WORKBENCH_VSCODE_PATH
environment variable (if present) then the
vscode-exe
setting in
vscode.conf
, or falls back to the preinstalled version and finally the
PATH
. This allows more flexibility when launching sessions on Kubernetes or Slurm clusters. (rstudio/rstudio-pro#3942)

Fixed mislabelling of Shiny app in Proxied Servers list (#117)
Posit Workbench Jupyter Sessions
Workbench now checks for the
jupyter
binary in the
WORKBENCH_JUPYTER_PATH
environment variable (if present), then the
jupyter-exe
setting in
jupyter.conf
, and finally the
PATH
. This is allows more flexibility when launching sessions on Kubernetes or Slurm clusters. (rstudio/rstudio-pro#3942)
Fixed an issue where Workbench would not install the
jupyter
extension automatically if the configured
jupyter
path was a symlink to the actual install location. We now follow the symlink. (rstudio/rstudio-pro#3942)
Disabled

SIGTERM
signal, as they have for
SIGUSR2
(rstudio/rstudio-pro#2585)

Change the label of the “Jobs” section on the homepage to “Workbench Jobs” to disambiguate. Likewise, change the “Launcher” pane title in the IDE to “Workbench Jobs” (rstudio-pro#3138, rstudio-pro#3453)
Session status information on the homepage has been upgraded! Additional information about a session’s processes is easily accessible with a drop-down. Visual updates and cues help improve the user experience. Back-end updates improve the stability and responsiveness of session operations and status changes (rstudio-pro#2443)
Change the “Jobs” tab to “Launcher Diagnostics” in the session information pop-up to further distinguish it from various other references to “jobs.” Hide the “Job Name” field, as it was confusing where it was displayed in the session information details. (rstudio-pro#3453)

Ubuntu 22.04 (“Jammy”) and Fedora 35 Compatibility:
Ubuntu Jammy builds of RStudio using libssl3 to enable installation on Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish 22.04 LTS (#10902)
Fixed incompatibility between QtWebEngine and newer glibc by disabling Chromium sandbox, see disclaimer below (#9854)
For Ubuntu 22.04 (“Jammy”), Fedora 35, and other distros with with newer versions of glibc (>= 2.34) the RStudio Desktop application now disables the Chromium security sandbox in order to workaround a library conflict between the version of chromium used in Qt 5.12 and the platform libraries. The sandbox is a second level security mechanism that prevents untrusted Javascript code from exploiting unknown security problems from using a set of protected system services.
While we will continue to support the Chromium security sandbox for other versions of Linux and in our upcoming Electron version on all platforms, we believe the product security for RStudio Desktop on Ubuntu 22.04 and Fedora 35 will not be significantly affected even with this security feature disabled. Software security is not a perfect science so we want to be clear about the implications so users can make informed choices.
RStudio Desktop is a developer’s tool that is commonly runs custom code outside of the browser sandbox. Users already must take care to trust the code they run, and are protected by the language and library interfaces they use, as well as a trusted supply chain of package managers. RStudio Desktop either accesses all files on the local system, or connects through an explicit process to trusted servers.
See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/0e94f26e8/docs/linux_sandboxing.md#the-sandbox-1 for more details.

Logging
In an effort to help make the RStudio Team products more cohesive, logging has been changed significantly.
By default, server logs will now be written to file instead of syslog. Warnings and errors will still log to syslog. This can be controlled by the
warn-syslog
parameter in
logging.conf
.
By default, server logs will now be written under
/var/log/rstudio/rstudio-server
.
Logs can now be written in JSON lines format.
Reloading the logging.conf configuration by sending a SIGHUP to the
rserver
process will now cause all RStudio managed subprocesses to also refresh their logging configuration.
Logging can now be partially configured using environment variables (
RS_LOGGER_TYPE
,
RS_LOG_LEVEL
,
RS_LOG_MESSAGE_FORMAT
, and
RS_LOG_DIR
).
Log files will now rotate by time in addition to the existing rotation by file size. This can be controlled by the
rotate-days
parameter in
logging.conf
.
For more information, see section 2 of the Admin Guide.
RStudio Workbench
Load-balancing configuration is now automatic, stored in the internal database, and doesn’t require editing config files. Added supporting
rstudio-server list-nodes
command to show users the node’s status according to the database. (Pro #2167)
Use of the
[config]
or
[nodes]
headers, or the precense of nodes, in the load-balancing configuration file will lead to warning messages logged. (Pro #2167)

RStudio Workbench
RStudio Server Pro has been renamed to RStudio Workbench to more accurately reflect its cross-language editing capabilities.
BREAKING:
RStudio Workbench’s Linux packages have new file names,
rstudio-workbench-*
instead of
rstudio-server-pro-*
. The operating system package name remains
rstudio-server
, so installs and upgrades will work correctly. Scripts which refer to the
.deb
or
.rpm
file names directly will need to be updated.
Added support for JupyterLab 3 (Pro #2022)
Add support for using OpenID and SAML authentication schemes when a proxy is required for outbound requests (Pro #2427)
Updated product licensing engine (LimeLM) to TurboActivate and TurboFloat to v4.4.3.

VS Code
Visual Studio Code is fully supported on RStudio Workbench and no longer in beta
Added support for Dash, Streamlit, and local web development servers in VS Code sessions
Added RStudio Workbench navigation tools in VS Code sessions
Added a new user settings template file for VSCode settings to allow administrators to specify a default user configuration for VSCode sessions (Pro #2014)
Set environment variables
RS_URI_SCHEME
,
RS_SESSION_URL
,
SERVER_URL
, and
RS_HOME_URL
when VSCode is launched (Pro #2346, Pro #2373)
Updated
rstudio-server install-vs-code
to install
code-server
3.9.3 (Pro #2576)
BREAKING
code-server
3.3.0 moves the executable to a
bin
directory. After upgrading
code-server
, the
exe
setting in
vscode.conf
may need to be updated to include
bin
in the path. This happens if the upgrade is not done by
install-vs-code-ext
or if
vscode.conf
is being programatically managed. If not updated, VS Code sessions will launch with “wrong version number” message.
Related
code-server
change
Change the default behavior of
install-vs-code
to not configure a global extensions directory and allow users to manage their own extensions. If
install-vs-code
was run with a previous release and you’d like to change your configuration, the configuration can be manually removed from
vscode.conf
or the script can be rerun to regenerate
vscode.conf
(Pro #2516)
Added
rstudio-server install-vs-code-ext
script to install the RStudio Workbench VS Code extension in a global directory and upgrade
code-server
to 3.9.3 (Pro #2456)
When a global extensions directory isn’t configured, install the RStudio Workbench extension on the first VS Code session launch per user (Pro #2376)
Disable the extensions marketplace in VS Code sessions when a global directory is configured that the user does not have write access to (Pro #2507)
Improved error messaging for VS Code session errors from
verify-installation
(Pro #2442)
RStudio Server Open Source
BREAKING:
RStudio when served via
http
erroneously reported its own address as
https
during redirects if the header
X-Forwarded-Proto
was defined by a proxy. That could lead to a confusing proxy setup. That has been fixed, but existing proxy installations with redirect rewite settings matching for
https
may have to be adjusted.
BREAKING:
RStudio Server no longer supports Internet Explorer 11.
Added
session-suspend-on-incomplete-statement
option to enable more aggressive session suspension behavior (Pro #1934)
New
env-vars
configuration file simplifies setting environment variables for the main RStudio server process. (Pro #2433)
Refreshed style on sign-in page; sign-in page now has a dark mode that syncs with the operating system’s (#9092, #9093)

Fixed an issue where the Kubernetes Launcher could hang in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environments by lowering the watch-timeout-seconds parameter default down to 3 minutes instead of 5 (Pro #2312)
Fixed issue preventing Kubernetes sessions from starting due to incorrect SSL certificate checking on websocket connections; make websocket connections support the
verify-ssl-certs
option (Pro #2463)

Source editor enhancements
We’ve added some new features & options to the source editor. We’ve also received lots of feedback on more advanced capabilities users want in the editor and we will definitely address this in upcoming releases. New stuff in the editor includes:
Highlight all instances of selected text
Insert spaces for tabs (soft-tabs)
Customizable print margin line
Selected line highlight
Toggle line numbers on/off
Optional soft-wrapping for R source files
The docs on
source code editing options
include more details.
Customizable layout and appearance
One of the most frequently requested features we’ve have is the ability to put the Console and Source views side-by-side. This configuration (and others) are now possible. New appearance and layout options include:
Customize locations of panes and tabs
Change default font size for code views
Select from various editor themes including TextMate, Eclipse, and others.
For more details see the docs on
appearance and layout options
.
Interactive plotting (manipulate)
This release includes a package called manipulate that can be use to create interactive plots within RStudio. Manipulate is very flexible and includes the following capabilities:
Generate plots with inputs bound to custom controls (rather than being hard-coded to a single value)
Variety of control types including slider, picker, and checkbox.
Controls appear next to the plot and can be easily shown and hidden
More details as well as screenshots with examples can be found in the
manipulate documentation
.
Works with R installed from source
The first beta of RStudio was compatible with the binary version of R distributed from CRAN. The current release works with any version of R, including:
R built and installed from source using make install
MacPorts or Homebrew versions of R on MacOS X
The docs on
using different versions of R
describe how RStudio determines which R to run against on each platform.
Character encoding
In this release we’ve significantly improved handling of non-ASCII characters, this includes:
Unicode characters can be used for input and output in the console.
The source editor supports Unicode characters and can open/save files using any character encoding.
A product-wide default encoding can be set, and can be overridden on a per-document basis.
See the
character encoding
documentation for more details.
Improved management of working directories
We’ve added a number of new features to make it easier to switch between working contexts located in different directories. These include:
Option to specify a default initial working directory
Tools - Change Working Dir menu command to change both the working directory and Files pane.
Optional file associations for .RData and .R that initialize RStudio within the opened file’s directory
Windows: Startup in working directory specified for shortcuts
Mac: Startup in folder dragged and dropped on RStudio Dock icon
