  • The Object Explorer, for inspecting deeply-nested R objects,
  • The modern theme, including a dark IDE theme to accompany the dark editor themes,
  • The Connections tab, for managing connections to external SQL data stores,
  • Improvements to Git integration, making it easier to manage git branches from within the IDE, alongside a small set of other miscellaneous features that made their way into the v1.1.
