New features

This release of Watson Studio includes the following features:

Use shared, custom, platform-level CA certificates in RStudio® IDE in projects with default Git integration: You can now use shared, custom, platform-level CA certificates in RStudio IDE in projects with default Git integration. In earlier releases, Git certificates were related to user profiles. Custom platform-level certificates are installed by admins in a centralized location as Kubernetes secrets (in the cpd-custom-ca-certs secret) so that multiple users can use the same certificate while working with multiple services. The secret is automatically inserted when RStudio IDE starts so you automatically have access to these certificates. For more information, see Working in RStudio with default Git integration and Creating a secret to store shared custom certificates.
