The updated package has been submitted to CRAN and will propagate to
mirrors over the next day or so.
It is maintained on R-Forge at http://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/writexls
, where downloads will be available as well. There is a transient
problem at the moment with R-Forge and the build system, so there may
be delays using R-Forge to get the updated package builds.
Package: WriteXLS
Version: 1.8.1
Description: Cross-platform perl based R function to create Excel
(XLS) files from one or more data frames. Each data frame will be
written to a separate named worksheet in the Excel spreadsheet. The
worksheet name will be the name of the data frame it contains or can
be specified by the user.

Changes since version 1.8.0:
The data frames will be written to the Excel file in the order that
they appear in 'x'. Note that this is a change in the default
behavior, where due to Perl's file globbing, they would previously
have been written in alpha sort order. The prior default behavior
could result in a mis-match between the data frames written to the
Excel worksheets and the user specified worksheet names as indicated
in the 'SheetNames' argument (added recently in version 1.7.1), if
present.
As a result of the above change, File::Glob is no longer used and has
been removed as a required Perl module for the package. References to
File::Glob have been removed from the testPerl() function and all
supporting files.
The INSTALL file has been copied to the 'inst' package folder, so that
it is installed in the main package directory. It will therefore be
available both on the CRAN mirror page for the package and on the
user's system as referenced in the help files.
