I'm reading the PowerPoint Presentation chapter of Rmarkdown. It states an Rmarkdown requirement rmarkdown >= v1.9. I do a packageVersion('rmarkdown') and learn I'm way behind, I have version 1.10!



I proceed to install.packages("rmarkdown") and it installs 1.10?!? How do I get the newer 1.9 version?

    1.10 is newer than 1.9 Basically the number after the decimal version numbers should be treated as separate numbers, not decimal places. And 1.10 is the latest version on CRAN. compareVersion("1.10", "1.9")

  • Here's my attempt at a joke 1.10 > 1.9 [1] FALSE. And thanks for pointing out the obvious which I didn't realize.

Version numbers are different from decimal numbers:



> package_version("1.9") > package_version("1.10")
[1] FALSE


Each part is interpreted as separate integer. Otherwise version numbers like 1.2.5 wouldn't make much sense, but they are very common especially with semantic versioning.
