Release Notes

New Features

  • [#1744] R: A new Code Action is available for generating a roxygen documentation skeleton.
  • [#1728] By default, Positron no longer tries to save untitled editors when a debug session is started. This is to avoid disrupting the user workflow with a save dialog when a debug session starts. You can change this new default by modifying the debug.saveBeforeStart setting.
  • [#18, #2924] Folding rules are now supported for R comment sections and R code cells, thanks to @kv9898!
  • [#7550] The support for scaffolding a new folder based on templates has been revamped. Try out the improved "Workspaces: New Folder from Template..." command. 📂
