<p>After more than a year in preview <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://microsoft.github.io/RTVS-docs/">R Tools for Visual Studio</a>, the open-source extension to the Visual Studio IDE for R programming, is nearing its official release. RTVS Release Candidate 1 is <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://microsoft.github.io/RTVS-docs/installation.html">now available for download</a>, giving you the opportunity to try out the new features ahead of the official announcement.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://revolution-computing.typepad.com/.a/6a010534b1db25970b01b7c8d95a55970b-popup"><img title="RTVS_screenshot" alt="RTVS_screenshot" src="http://revolution-computing.typepad.com/.a/6a010534b1db25970b01b7c8d95a55970b-800wi" border="0"></a></p>
<p>We'll cover the features in detail with the general availability release of RTVS 1.0, but in summary the new features include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://microsoft.github.io/RTVS-docs/remote-execution.html">Remote Execution</a>: type R code in your local RTVS instance, but have the computations performed on a remote R server. You can also switch between local and remote workspaces at will.</li>
<li><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://microsoft.github.io/RTVS-docs/sqlserver.html">SQL Server Integration</a>: work with database connections and SQL queries, and create stored procedures with embedded R code.</li>
<li><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://microsoft.github.io/RTVS-docs/plotting.html">Enhanced R Graphics Support</a>: multiple floating and dockable plot windows, each with plot history.</li>
</ul>
<p>RTVS works with all flavours of R on Windows: CRAN R, Microsoft R Open, and Microsoft R Client &amp; Server. It requires Visual Studio 2015 (including the free Community edition).
