=======================

* Navigator is out of beta status.

  The word "Beta" no longer appears in the title bar.

* R Studio available from the Navigator **Home** tab.

  R Studio is an open-source integrated development environment (IDE) for the R programming language.
  R Studio has been added to the R channel and can now be installed and launched from the Navigator **Home** tab.
  To install and launch R Studio, in the R Studio pane, click the Install button, then click the Launch button.

* Orange app returns to the **Home** tab.

  Orange app was removed from version 1.3 due to compatibility issues that have since been resolved.
  Orange app is pre-installed starting from version 1.4, so you can click the Launch button to launch it, with no need to install it first.

* Option to disable or enable SSL verification.

  From the top menu bar, select Preferences, select or clear the Enable SSL verification checkbox, then click the Apply button.

* Support for Anaconda Fusion licenses.

  Navigator now supports packages that require a license, including Anaconda Fusion.
  Installing Anaconda Fusion now automatically downloads a Fusion trial license from `Anaconda Cloud <https://anaconda.org>`_.
  This license is generated once per user, so if a user uninstalls Fusion and reinstalls it, the user receives the original license.
  Trial licenses require users to register for a free account on Anaconda Cloud.

* Correct display of "no arch" packages.

  When Navigator installs "no arch" packages, they now appear correctly on the **Environments** tab.

* Friendly warning about updating channels for long-term users.

  If users have created ``.condarc`` files that try to access binstar.org--the original name of anaconda.org--Navigator now warns that binstar.org channels are outdated.

1.3 -- September 27, 2016
=========================

* License Manager dialog.

  You can now easily :doc:`upload licenses <tutorials/manage-licenses>` for applications that require them.

* Applications per environment.

  You can install applications to any environment.
  To do this, on the **Home** tab, click the **Applications** menu, then select the environment in which you want to install an application.
  If an environment is not selected, applications are installed by default in the root environment.

* One-click updates and installs.

  You can install a new package or update an installed package in the active environment.
  See :doc:`tutorials/manage-packages`.

* Clearer indication of option to delete a search filter.

  On the **Environments** tab, when the packages are filtered by a user-defined search string,
  hovering over the X button now turns the cursor into an arrow and the X turns red,
  to emphasize that clicking the X will clear the search string.

* Channels now support tokens.

  The Channel manager now supports security tokens. See :ref:`navigator-add-channel`.
  
* Channel name copy and paste support.

* Navigator in a specific environment.

  Installing Navigator in an environment other than root now makes that environment the default upon Navigator startup, both for the **Home** tab
  and the **Environments** tab.

* Table pre-filtering according to Python version.

  To avoid unnecessary conflicts, the table that displays a filtered view of 
  packages--according to the Installed, Not Installed, Upgradeable and 
  Downgradable filter values--does not display packages that are incompatible 
  with the installed version of Python.

* Dialog size restore.

  Upon restart, the application window's last size and location are preserved, instead of the window's being maximized upon startup.

1.2 -- August 1, 2016
=====================

* Improved condarc support.

  Navigator now reads from and writes to the conda configuration file (``.condarc``). In previous releases, updates made within Navigator
  to the conda configuration were not reflected in the ``.condarc`` file, and vice versa. Starting from version 1.2, when you add channels inside
  Navigator, the ``.condarc`` file is updated, and if ``.condarc`` is updated outside Navigator, Navigator correctly reads the available channels.

* Improved channels support.

  You can now :doc:`manage the channels <tutorials/manage-channels>` on Anaconda Cloud that you want Navigator to consider active.
  Active channels are included when you search for packages and other assets.

* R environment creation support.

  Navigator now allows you to :ref:`install a standalone R language environment or a mixed Python and R environment <navigator-create-environment>`.

* Conda environment file import.

  Navigator now allows you to :ref:`import environment.yml files <navigator-import-environment>`.

* Updates for Enterprise users.

  NOTE: You cannot use an Enterprise version of Anaconda Cloud with Navigator.

  * Simplified preferences.

    Preference options are simplified so that only one URL is needed to set up the API.
    Changing this value affects the URL setting of the anaconda-client configuration.

    NOTE: Changing the :doc:`URL setting in the CLI </anaconda-repository/admin-guide/install/config/config-client>` affects the value displayed in the preferences.

  * Proxy.

    When using Navigator behind a proxy, the settings must be manually set inside the conda configuration file.
    See the `conda proxy documentation <https://conda.io/docs/config.html#configure-conda-for-use-behind-a-proxy-server-proxy-servers>`_.
