Hi
I have noticed several "silent" releases of RStudio since I downloaded it on the 28 Feb.
"Check for updates" doesnt indicate that any updates are available, even though the build number on the download page has changed. Is there any way we can get details on exactly what has been fixed since the last build or are you saving that for "major" branch updates?

   Jan,

   Yes, those releases were "hotfixes" for issues encountered by a small minority of users so we didn't want to nag everyone with an update notice. When we do a major branch update (e.g. 0.92 -> 0.93) then we'll make sure the change gets picked up in "Check for Updates".

   Also wrote up a KB article (which we'll keep updating going forward) with the specifics of what changed in the hotfix releases:

   http://support.rstudio.org/help/kb/test/rstudio-release-history

   We'll also working on a way for users to track ongoing development by getting notified of new things going into the tree and then being able to try them out in our daily build. Stay tuned for that.

   J.J.
