Shiny v0.10.1 has been released to CRAN. You can either install it from a CRAN mirror, or update it if you have installed a previous version.

install.packages('shiny', repos = 'http://cran.rstudio.com')
# or update your installed packages
# update.packages(ask = FALSE, repos = 'http://cran.rstudio.com')

The most prominent change in this patch release is that we added full Unicode support on Windows. Shiny apps running on Windows must use the UTF-8 encoding for ui.R and server.R (also the optional global.R, README.md, and DESCRIPTION) if they contain non-ASCII characters. See this article for details and examples: http://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/unicode.html

Chinese characters in a shiny app

Please note although we require UTF-8 for the app components, UTF-8 is not a general requirement for any other files. If you read/write text files in an app, you are free to use any encoding you want, e.g. you can readLines('foo.txt', encoding = 'Windows-1252'). The article above has explained it in detail.

Other changes include:

• runGitHub() also allows the 'username/repo' syntax now, which is equivalent to runGitHub('repo', 'username'). (#427)
• navbarPage() now accepts a windowTitle parameter to set the web browser page title to something other than the title displayed in the navbar.
• Added an inline argument to textOutput(), imageOutput(), plotOutput(), and htmlOutput(). When inline = TRUE, these outputs will be put in span() instead of the default div(). This occurs automatically when these outputs are created via the inline expressions (e.g. `r renderText(expr)`) in R Markdown documents. See an R Markdown example at http://shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/inline-output.html (#512)
• Added support for option groups in the select/selectize inputs. When the choices argument for selectInput()/selectizeInput() is a list of sub-lists and any sub-list is of length greater than 1, the HTML tag  will be used. See an example at here (#542)
