Dear list members,
I've uploaded a new version of the Rcmdr package to CRAN. There are many
additions and (I hope) improvements, as indicated in the relevant portion
of the CHANGES file, reproduced below. As usual, comments, suggestions, and
bug reports are appreciated.
John
-------------------------------------------
Version 0.8-4
o Minor bug fixes and additional input-error checks (many suggested by
Tony Christensen).
o Documentation for Recode, Compute, linearModel, and
generalizedLinearModel dialogs. More extensive documentation for the Commander.
o Changes to list*() utility functions to ensure that all objects of a
given class are found, and not masked by local variables or objects in the
base package.
o Many small changes to ensure that objects in the global environment
are not masked by objects in the base package.
o Added Graphs -> Line graph.
Version 0.9-0
o More flexible customization. All config files are now in the etc
subdirectory, including:
- Rcmdr-menus.txt: defines the Rcmdr menus
- log-exceptions.txt: a list of functions that are prevented from
printing output when executed from the log window.
- compareModels.demo: contains a demonstration of how to add a
dialog to Rcmdr. Rename this file to compareModels.R and uncomment the
corresponding menu-definition line in Rcmdr-menus.txt.
o Some more functions in the package are exported to support writing
extensions.
o Made active-data-set and active-model "information fields" into
buttons that can be used to select the active data set and model.
o Added "Subset active data set", "Remove cases with missing
data",
and "Set case names" to Data -> Active data set menu.
o Added many error checks for adequate variables in the active data set.
o Ensured that focus returns to the proper window after an error.
o Commands generated by View and Edit Data Set buttons now appear in
the log and sessions windows.
o As an option, bound double-left-mouse-click to default button in all
dialogs.
o Added more sophisticated interface for linearModel and
generalizedLinearModel dialogs (suggested by Bob Stine).
o Where appropriate, previous field-values are retained in linearModel
and generalizedLinearModel dialogs (suggested by Sandy Weisberg). Models
are numbered.
o Generalized-linear models dialog now only shows appropriate links
for the currently selected family.
o Added "Data -> New data set" menu, which opens data editor
with
empty data frame.
o Much improved stem-and-leaf display using stem.leaf function
(courtesy of Peter Wolf).
o Added "grab.focus" option to allow disabling focus grabs on
systems
where this causes problem.
o Added "File -> Options" menu to set options and restart the
Commander.
o On exit, the Commander cleans up global variables used for program
control (from correspondence with Kjetil Brinchmann Halvorsen).
o Added distribution plots to the Distributions menu (suggested by Yan
Wong).
o Small interface changes and bug fixes.
