Hi, R 4.6.0 is scheduled to be released on Friday, April 24. RKWard 0.8.2 will not work with that, so I'd like to publish RKWard 0.8.3 on the same day, which means we'll have roughly one week left for testing, if we want to reserve another week for release preparations.
Your help in covering some of the testing matrix would be very much appreciated. In particular, testing with R 4.6.0 pre-releases, and testing on Windows and MacOS will be very helpful. Two further areas you may want to watch out for are the addition of custom script previews (rk.register.script.preview()), and a new choice between HTML renderers. As detailed, earlier, we now also support QWebView as an HTML rendering engine(*), and this is the default choice for Windows and MacOS, now. Builds that support both allow to configure which to use in the "General" settings pane. Certain details are not yet implemented for the QWebView based renderer. Please let me know, what you find missing. You can find RKWard development builds at the usual place (https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/education/rkward/master/). Regards Thomas (*) The internal details are more confusing than this, as QWebView is just a wrapper around different rendering plugins, including a QWebEngine-based one, which is still the default on current Windows and Linux builds. Nonetheless, the embedding mechanisms seems to differ enough that we are not affected by the same set of bugs. On MacOS, QWebView uses the system native WebView, which - in untested theory(!) - should resolve a lot of the problems we have been seeing, and brings down the binary size by a third.
