gregmisc 2.0.0
==========
gregmisc 2.0.0 has been released and is now available on CRAN.
Important Changes
---------------------------
- Now a package bundle
For this release, gregmisc has been split into a bundle containing 4
separate packages: gdata, gmodels, gplots and gtools. All of your favorite
functions are still present, but they are now better organized into thematic
groups, which should make them easier to maintain.
- Namespaces
Each of the gregmisc packages now provide namespaces, and are fully
compatible with R 2.0.0. The namespaces make it easier to avoid conflicts
with functions in other packages, and prevent local utility functions from
cluttering up the global function namespace.
Consequences for Users
------------------------------------
Instead of attaching the gregmisc package, you will need to attach the
appropriate individual packages. IE, instead of
> library(gregmisc)
you should use one or more of
> library(gdata)
> library(gmodels)
> library(gplots)
> library(gtools)
For more details, including bug fixes, see the ChangeLog file in the source
distribution.

A small practical point: you need to remove.packages("gregmisc")
manually
if you update.packages to this version, or you will be continually asked
to update the gremisc package which no longer exists.
No one has previously ever changed a package into a bundle not containing
a package of the same name, so the update software is not smart enough to
remove the old gregmisc *package* when installing the bundle. (It will
probably continue to be not smart enough in future.)
