R 4.0 not supported about rtvs HOT 7 CLOSED

It is not arbitrary. New version of R has different R.dll with potential different C/C++ API. It may need new host process executable and for RTVS to know which host to launch.

Yes, it is same repo. Master is for 2017 and 2019 branch is off master. Unfortunately, there is no extension for 2017 since package is bundled and hence has to be built internally and distributed with VS update.

For 2019 I am planning to look into 4.0 some time this week.

We are talking https://github.com/Microsoft/R-Host here.

Published update. R 4.0 works for me.

@MikhailArkhipov are you referring to the VS 2019 plugin or the VS 2017 workload? I presume the VS 2017 workload will not be updated as this is no longer a Microsoft-supported product.

from rtvs.

Yes, 2019. 2017 may be updated, but it will have to be on 2017 update schedule. I am checking how 2017 gets serviced. Stay tuned.

Thank you @MikhailArkhipov, it is great to see that RTVS is still being supported. Thanks also for pointing out the 2019 branch of this repo.

For 2017 I would suggest submitting an issue though VS feedback button. This way it will go to the VS issue tracking. This GH repo is not being watched by VS servicing.
