RStudio 2023.09.1

“Desert Sunflower”

Date: 2023-10-17

Deprecated / Removed

Posit Workbench

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.

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)

- Fixed an issue where files would appear to be blank when opened in projects not using UTF-8 encoding on Windows with R 4.2.0. (#11206)
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)

glibc 2.34+ and Chromium Sandbox:

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.

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)

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 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)
Fixed an issue where the Kubernetes Launcher can sometimes get in a state where communication with Kubernetes hangs until a restart (Pro #2548)
Fixed an issue where Kubernetes Launcher services could sometimes leak and never be cleaned up (Pro #2548)
Fixed an issue causing Kubernetes plugin to fail to deserialize jobs from Kubernetes 1.19 (Pro #2605)
Improved a Slurm Session Launch Delay that may occur due to buffering when using Slurm job steps (Pro #2331)
Fixed an issue where Load Balanced Local Launcher instances could get into a state where they would no longer receive job updates from other nodes due to silent network drops (Pro #2281)

RStudio 0.93.73

Date: 2011-04-11

New

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
Linux: Startup in terminal working directory when run from the command line

The docs on working directories and workspaces go into more depth on these features.
