Release Notes

New Features

  • [#6296] On Windows and Mac, Positron will now automatically check for a new monthly release, download it, and install the new version in the background. Linux still provides a notification when a new version is available. We are continuing to make (approximately) weekly releases available on GitHub.
  • [#6205] Added a new setting to exclude R installation paths from the UI.
  • [#6265] Added a new command to run R package tests in the Test Explorer UI. The old command is still available and can be mapped to a preferred keybinding, if desired.
  • [#6302] We now package extensions that were previously shipped as built-in extensions as user managed extensions that are installed on first launch.
  • [#5315] Bundled the Posit Publisher extension.

Bug Fixes

  • [#6199] Improved the layout of the Console action bar at narrow widths.
  • [#6480] Fixed an issue with Data Explorer so that it enters the Connection Closed state when its connection is closed.
  • [#6444] Fixed a regression where Python completions did not work in Quarto documents.
  • Fixed an issue starting real_python() with reticulate v1.41.0.
  • Fixed a deadlock in ARK when starting reticulate.
  • When calling repl_python() we now give focus to the Python console.
