This is a minor update to RStudio 1.4 that contains fixes for a handful of important bugs.

(#6608)X-RStudio-Request header for specifying originating URL behind path-rewriting proxies (Pro #1579)X-RStudio-Root-Path header or the new www-root-path for specifying the exact path prefixes added by a path-rewriting proxy (Pro #1410).www-url-path-prefix was deprecated and removed. Use www-root-path instead.Note: RStudio Server Pro now requires a Postgres database when using its internal load balancer; this database must be set up prior to upgrade from earlier releases. If you have a multi-node RStudio Server Pro installation, consult the Administration Guide for instructions before upgrading.
Note: RStudio Server Pro uses a new location for user state;
.rstudiois now.local/share/rstudio. This is a breaking change if you have symlinked .rstudio and can make downgrade more complicated. See the Administration Guide for more information, including instructions for using the old location if desired for compatibility with previous releases.

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:
The docs on source code editing options include more details.
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:
For more details see the docs on appearance and layout options.
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:
More details as well as screenshots with examples can be found in the manipulate documentation.
