R 4.4 now available

The project software environment has been updated. Version 2024-05-13 is the default now: it includes R 4.4 as the default R. Many packages were updated as well.

Note: if you had installed R packages locally in your project before, you have to re-compile them.

The default "R Statistics" compute server image also includes R 4.4 by default as well.

As usual, there are also a ton of upgrades for the Python 3 (system-wide) environment, and various underlying Linux packages.

If you run into problems, please let us know in support. You can also always switch back to the previous environment in Project Settings → Control → Software Environment and select "Ubuntu 22.04 // Previous".
