A new release of rgdal, a package providing bindings for the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library for reading and writing spatial data, has reached CRAN. This release changes the error handling mechanisms, and is more fully described in a posting on R-sig-geo: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2011-July/012126.html If any users observe unexpected behaviour following update, please revert to the 0.6-* series, and report with full details to the package maintainer. Extensive checking has been carried out, and no unexpected behaviour observed, but it is not feasible to check all possible use cases, especially erroneous use cases, hence this message. -- Roger Bivand Department of Economics, NHH Norwegian School of Economics, Helleveien 30, N-5045 Bergen, Norway. voice: +47 55 95 93 55; fax +47 55 95 95 43 e-mail: Roger.Bivand at nhh.no _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages at r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
