Release Notes
Positron Assistant 🤖
Positron Assistant, currently available as a preview feature, is now more powerful and versatile. New slash commands (/fix, /explain, and /doc) are available to debug, understand, and document code. These commands can even be triggered automatically; for example, you can convert a chat into a Quarto document just by asking, "Can you convert this to Quarto?", even if you don't specify the /exportQuarto command as part of your message.
"Fix" and "Explain" support for Console errors has also been introduced. With a single click, the Assistant can fix or explain an error, acting as a coding partner for troubleshooting. You can try it out by enabling the positron.assistant.consoleActions.enable setting.
Ways you already use Assistant have been enhanced. Code completions and inline chat are now available in notebooks, giving you access to the features you love no matter where you code. Assistant now also integrates with Git by default, letting you seamlessly chat about your project's history and providing suggestions when writing commit messages. Assistant can also now use the data summary tool for R objects, similar to what you have already been able to do in Python.
Convert your Data Explorer filters to code 💥
The Data Explorer now provides a Convert to Code button to make your analysis more reproducible. With one click, you can copy code to your clipboard that reflects the filters and sorts you have set up via the Data Explorer UI. Paste the code into the Console, a script, or a notebook to continue your data exploration with runnable, reproducible code. This feature currently supports both pandas and polars Python dataframes, with additional backends coming soon!
DuckDB for Python 🦆
The Connections Pane now supports managing and exploring native DuckDB connections in Python, as has already been possible for R. Connect to local or remote DuckDB databases, explore their schemas, and interactively preview your DuckDB tables.

Release Notes
Positron Assistant 🤖
Positron Assistant, our AI client currently in preview, has received several updates in this release. We have made changes to reduce token usage, added an experimental git integration, and added new tools that the Assistant can use (for example, to create documents, view documentation, or to get info on your rectangular data). You can also now control Assistant's access to data in your Python and R sessions. If you have a problem with the Assistant that you want to report, use the commands that begin Positron Assistant: Export the current chat to export your logs.
New keybinding ⌨️
The most upvoted feature request in this release is a new keybinding to execute the current statement in your Python or R Console without advancing to the next one. You can now use Alt+Enter to execute your current statement without moving the cursor. (The existing keybinding Ctrl/Cmd+Enter executes the current statement and does advance your cursor.)
Diagnostics and outlines for R 😌
Our engine for providing R diagnostics has undergone a major upgrade! You'll notice that you no longer get overwhelmed with squiggles in your R code when you open a fresh session. Outlines in .R files have also been improved, especially for R6 methods and targets pipelines.

Release Notes
Positron is out of beta! ❤️
Stable releases of Positron are now available! Thank you to all our beta users who have been testing and giving feedback on our prereleases over the last year.
Daily builds 🪩
For users who are interested in trying out new features at a faster cadence, we now provide a channel of daily builds; you can opt in to these builds by changing the update.positron.channel setting to "dailies".
Migrating to Positron 💫
Our revamped Welcome page now includes two migration walkthroughs for users coming to Positron from other code editors and IDEs:
- One walkthrough shows users coming from VS Code what is different about the Positron UI, how to manage Python interpreters and Python-specific settings, and what to know about extensions in Positron.
- The other walkthrough shows users coming from RStudio how to navigate the UI, use familiar keyboard shortcuts, think about folders and workspaces, and configure formatting settings.
Bring up the Welcome page with the command Help: Welcome.
Positron Assistant 🤖
Positron Assistant, an AI client that provides LLM integration within Positron, is available in preview this release! Positron Assistant supports Chat via Anthropic as well as GitHub Copilot for inline completions. Use Positron Assistant to generate or refactor code, ask questions, get help with debugging, and get suggestions for the next steps in your data science projects. Compared to other IDE AI tooling, Positron Assistant offers novel data science and Positron-specific context. We have built out key integration points that allow the LLM to parse and interact with the current state of the Positron IDE, and will continue to expand these capabilities over time.
A few examples of these integration points include Positron’s:
- Variables pane, providing names, dimensions, and column names of dataframes and Python/R based database connections, as well as metadata for arrays, lists, and other objects in memory
- Plots pane for describing the current plot or suggesting variations and next steps for iterating on the current plot
- Console, available to the model for viewing inputs and code outputs, as well as allowing the user or an AI agent to execute code in the console and view the output
- Session state, providing what language is active in the console session (R or Python, including version), what packages are loaded, and what packages are installed
All of that Positron-specific context is in addition to the core capabilities of what traditional software-oriented GenAI clients have (active files, selected lines of code, files in project, training data in the model, etc).
For more information please see the Positron Assistant section of the user guide.
