How to find RStudio Preview in the new Posit.co site?

Hi,

I would like to use RStudio Preview for the wonderful new features, but after the website switch, I could not find the pages and download links. So where is it now?

Thanks,
Hsiao-nan

You can find it here

I knew the 'daily builds' there, but is there an official 'preview' edition now? Just like the one on rstudio.com. (At RStudio Desktop - Posit)

They are not building any more 2022 versions so I think the last one there is the preview version, just from a different link.

Okay, thank you!

And I found a link that may point to preview version (https://www.rstudio.com/wp-content/downloads.json), and it's now on rstudio.com, and I'll wait and see when it changes to posit.

I came across the same problem when my RStudio Preview build started prompting for updates to 2022.12.0+353, but homebrew's cask still has 2022.07.02. The JSON find is great, but that doesn't have a link to the built binaries. Is RStudio Preview still going to be a thing under the rebranded Posit name?

Yes it does! It's in the url field. For example here's the snippet where you can get the Windows preview:

      "preview": {
        "version": "2022.12.0+353.pro20",
        "pretty_date": "December 3rd, 2022",
        "desktop": {
          "installer": {
            "windows": {
              "name": "electron/windows/RStudio-2022.12.0-353.exe",
              "basename": "RStudio-2022.12.0-353.exe",
              "url": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/rstudio-ide-build/electron/windows/RStudio-2022.12.0-353.exe",

Yes; the only reason it didn't happen for this release is that the brand-new website doesn't have support for preview releases! We'll be adding this capability in the coming months.
