rsconnect now uses httr2 as its HTTP client.
There should be no user-visible changes as a result, but if something does
not work as expected, please file an issue, and you can set
options(rsconnect.httr2 = FALSE) as a temporary workaround. (#1284)

Added support for renv profiles and renv lockfiles that are located outside of
the project root. (#1122)

Resolved a bug where renv.lock files that had multiple repositories were not
being translated faithfully when creating the manifest file. (#1268)

Packages installed locally via pak are resolved against configured
repositories. (#1305)

Added support for overriding R package repository resolution behavior. (#1272)

Push-button publishing from desktop RStudio is now compatible with Connect
servers hosted on Snowflake. This includes support for browser-based
authentication during deployment. (#1289)

The snowflakeConnectionName parameter now respects the default Snowflake
connection name in the connections.toml file (when it exists), making it
optional in many cases. This is only applicable to Connect servers hosted on
Snowflake. (#1283)

Added support for using identity federation to authenticate against Connect
when running in Posit Workbench, when available. This allows deploying to
Connect servers without the need to store long-lived credentials. (#1287)

Upgraded to use v1 APIs for deploying to Connect servers, which enables
new features for specifying settings in the manifest file. (#1280)

Removed support for log streaming from shinyapps.io due to loss of support
for this feature on the shinyapps.io platform (showLogs(streaming = TRUE)).
If this feature is important to your workflow, please file an issue and we
will consider reintroduction of log streaming via rsconnect in Connect Cloud.
(#1292)

Removed several functions, including addConnectServer() and
discoverServer(), as well as HTTP backends other than libcurl,
which were deprecated in rsconnect 1.0.0. (#1282)

Added support for deploying from manifest.json files created by
writeManifest(): use the manifestPath argument of deployApp() and related
functions to specify the path to an existing manifest file. (#1259)

urlEncode() now uses curl::curl_escape() instead of RCurl::curlEscape(),
as RCurl is a Suggests dependency. (#1265)

The User-Agent header in requests made from rsconnect will now be of the
format RSConnect/x.y.z instead of rsconnect/x.y.z in order to satisfy web
application firewalls that enforce Pascal case.

Fix an opaque error when creating a manifest using Python <= 3.10 with a
version requirement in a pyproject.toml file. A warning is shown rather
than an error when the tomllib package is not present. (#1226)

Address CRAN test failures caused by some openssl configurations. (#1255)

Fix account registration from RStudio. (#1250)

SPCS/Snowflake authentication supports Connect API keys for user
identification. The connectSPCSUser() function now requires an apiKey
parameter, and the API key is included in the X-RSC-Authorization header
alongside Snowflake token authentication. This aligns with updated Connect
server requirements where Snowflake tokens provide proxied authentication
while API keys identify users to the Connect server itself.

Support deploying to Posit Connect Cloud. Use connectCloudUser() to add
Connect Cloud credentials.

rsconnect now sets the rsconnect.max.bundle.size and
rsconnect.max.bundle.files options to their default values on startup
if they have not yet been set. (#1204)

The default rsconnect.max.bundle.size limit has increased to 5 GiB. (#1200)

getLogs() returns log lines for a shinyapps.io hosted application. (#1209)

Python environment inspection errors include the path to the target Python
binary. (#1207)

Improve cookie expiration date handling. (#1212)

Improve documentation and advice for deployApp(envVars...).

Removed support for publishing to Posit Cloud. (#1215)

Existing Posit Cloud account records may be removed by using
removeAccount("yourname", "posit.cloud").

Existing Posit Cloud deployment records may be removed by using
forgetDeployment(name="deployment", account="yourname", server="posit.cloud").

Removed the Posit Cloud-exclusive space argument from deployApp(). (#1215)

Address user registration for Posit Connect deployments hosted in Snowpark
Container Services when there is more than one configured Snowflake
connection. (#1189)

Process cookie expiration dates in addition to the cookie max-age. Some
servers return already-expired cookies. (1187)

Removed unused internal methods from Connect client. (#1182)

Fixed processing error during server validation, which prevented
registration of new Connect accounts. (#1166)

When waiting for initial Connect account authorization, allow HTTP 401
responses. (#1167)
