@vevetron Can you keep me in the loop as well for this one please?

The latest image (2024-5.24) has R version 4.3.1 (2023-06-16) -- "Beagle Scouts"

We get our R version from the image directly - https://hub.docker.com/layers/jupyter/datascience-notebook/python-3.11.6/images/sha256-9504f4f4ab7e89b49d61d7be2e9ff8c57870de2050aa4360f55b2e59193f7486

@fsalemi Is that sufficient?

@fsalemi Are you using the prototype image or the old default image?

[fsalemi]

The new image prototype has the R version 4.3.1. So closing the issue.
