[ESS] Have M-x R point at the most recent version of R

[Hüsing, Johannes]

Dear ESS-helping crowd,
following the advice on https://r-pkgs.org/setup.html, I installed R version 4.3.1 for MS Windows from CRAN.

How do I communicate to ESS that a new version has been installed? I read the advice on https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/60681/ess-start-process-does-not-include-new-r-version, I used the Emacs customisation dialogue to set ess-rterm-version-paths from C:/Program Files/R/R-4.2.2/bin/x64/Rterm.exe to C:/Program Files/R/R-4.3.1/bin/x64/Rterm.exe. After that, the variable ess-r-runner-prefixes, as well as ess-r-versions resolves to ("R-1" "R-2" "R-3" "R-4" "R-5" "R-6" "R-7" "R-devel" "R-patched"), and both M-x R and M-x R-newest will start R 4.2.2. The variable ess-r-versions-created resolves to (R-4.2.2-64bit), as does its alias ess-r-created-runners. Neither of these is customizable in the Emacs dialog.

Is there a way to proceed to notify ESS about the new version installed? RStudio opened a miniscule dialog window indicating that it detected conflicting versions and had me choose one of them.

Thanks for any hint.
