Release Notes
Positron Assistant 🤖
Positron Assistant, our AI client currently in preview, has received several updates in this release. We have made changes to reduce token usage, added an experimental git integration, and added new tools that the Assistant can use (for example, to create documents, view documentation, or to get info on your rectangular data). You can also now control Assistant's access to data in your Python and R sessions. If you have a problem with the Assistant that you want to report, use the commands that begin Positron Assistant: Export the current chat to export your logs.
New keybinding ⌨️
The most upvoted feature request in this release is a new keybinding to execute the current statement in your Python or R Console without advancing to the next one. You can now use Alt+Enter to execute your current statement without moving the cursor. (The existing keybinding Ctrl/Cmd+Enter executes the current statement and does advance your cursor.)
Diagnostics and outlines for R 😌
Our engine for providing R diagnostics has undergone a major upgrade! You'll notice that you no longer get overwhelmed with squiggles in your R code when you open a fresh session. Outlines in .R files have also been improved, especially for R6 methods and targets pipelines.
