2022-08-24

• We removed the generic latest tag from all products (excluding content images). Now latest variants of images are os-specific. When pulling the latest version of a product replace the latest tag with the desired os. I.E. rstudio/rstudio-connect:latest is now rstudio/rstudio-connect:bionic.

2022-08-01

• We flatted the folder structure for more consistency and better organization of various operating systems. For instance, instead of occasional subdirectories for OS (i.e. bionic or centos7), we now have Dockerfile.bionic and Dockerfile.centos7. Apologies in advance for any merge conflicts this might cause!
