RStudio 2023.09.0

What's new in this version:

New:
RStudio:
- Update to Electron 25.5.0
- Add support Quarto Manuscript projects, a new Quarto feature that will be released in Quarto 1.4
- Added option to sign Git commits
- Add section to theme generation that will use theme-specific color(s) to set colors of vim/emacs-mode cursor

Posit Workbench:
- An initial set of Prometheus metrics and grafana dashboard are available for the Workbench server
- Additional support for publishing new content types to Posit Cloud
- Update code-server to version 4.14.1 (VS Code version 1.79.2) bundled with node 16.20.2
- Update rserver-saml to 0.7.0
- Change the default behavior of the load-balancer configuration setting launcher-balancing-enabled to always be true. This has no effect on non load-balanced environments.
- Auto-generate the secure-cookie-key and launcher key pair in load-balanced environments
- Add the secure-cookie-key and launcher key pair to the node table of the database for load-balanced environments.
- Multiple instances of the Slurm plugin can now point at the same backing cluster without interfering with one another, provided they have different names
- The Slurm plugin now has a default-partition setting that allows choosing a different partition than the cluster-wide default. The default partition is also put at the top of the list and highlighted in the UI when launching sessions
- Resource profiles for the Slurm plugin now support setting the partition
- Resource profiles for the Kubernetes plugin now support setting placement constraints
- When launching sessions or Workbench jobs, available clusters are now shown only when there is more than one option
- Non-shared projects on the home page no longer show a superfluous “Owner” field
- Users can now opt to receive desktop notifications when their sessions are ready, which is especially useful on platforms like Slurm or Kubernetes where this may take more than a few seconds
- While waiting to auto-join a session from the home page, the popup now shows additional status information on Kubernetes and Slurm and no longer warns about sessions that take more than 30 seconds to start
- Projects that can’t be found by the server are no longer completely hidden on the home page; rather, they are flagged as potentially moved or deleted
- Workbench now sets the SPARK_CONNECT_USER_AGENT environment variable for all sessions. This can help users of hosted Apache Spark clusters (including Databricks) identify when Workbench users are accessing Spark
- Security audit and file size optimization for VS Code Workbench extension
- Added delete-node-on-exit option for load balancing to cleanup node table and fixed error caused by stale nodes
- Added explicit load-balancing-enabled option to rserver.conf
- Sticky sessions are no longer required to use OpenID Connect authentication

- Fixed bug when resuming session not restoring current working directory for Terminal pane
- Fixed bug preventing HOME from being modified in system init scripts
- Removed unnecessary files from install packages
- Updated Launcher go dependencies to latest versions
- Workbench will no longer log a spurious error about ownership when the r-versions file is on an NFS mount with root_squash set
- The launcher-sessions-clusters, launcher-adhoc-clusters, and launcher-default-cluster settings now apply to all IDEs. Individual settings for Jupyter and VS Code sessions are now marked as deprecated
- Recent projects listed on the home page should no longer have an empty “Last Used” field
- The Slurm plugin no longer warns that some legitimately-supported Slurm versions are not supported
- AWS roles can now be chosen when resuming a session as well as launching a new one
- Fixed rstudio-server active-sessions command and added node-status
- Fixed load balancing to count all types of sessions
- Fixed bug preventing user’s last sign in date from updating on CentOS 7 and PostgreSQL
- Limit logs collected in rstudio-diagnostics to reduce size

Performance:
- Improved performance of group membership tests
- Increased read buffer size for rserver proxy
