Get latest RStudio version number

Description

Get latest RStudio version number

Usage

latest_version(
  type = c("desktop", "server"),
  stable = TRUE,
  pro = FALSE,
  os = NULL,
  use_cache = TRUE,
  max_cache_age = "1 day"
)

Arguments

type	Either "desktop" for RStudio Desktop or "server" for RStudio Server release metadata.
stable	Set to FALSE to retrieve release metadata of RStudio preview builds instead of stable builds.
pro	TRUE for the proprietary RStudio (Server) Pro edition and FALSE for the open-source RStudio (Server) edition.
os	The OS codename for which the RStudio version was built. If NULL, it will be auto-detected for the current system.
use_cache	Whether or not to return cached results if possible. If FALSE, results are always newly fetched regardless of max_cache_age.
max_cache_age	Duration after which cached results are refreshed (i.e. newly fetched). A valid lubridate duration. Use Inf to disable cache expiry. Only relevant if use_cache = TRUE. Defaults to 1 day (24 hours).
