I've put up R-0.63.1.tgz up for FTP from Auckland some minutes ago.
As usual, don't get it from there unless you are desperate, but wait
for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you within a day or two.
For those who *are* desperate, I've left a copy in
ftp://blueberry.kubism.ku.dk/pub/R-devel/R-0.63.1.tgz
(Be gentle, that's my desktop PC!)
The person who fetched R-0.63 *from New Zealand* last time might
prefer ftp.stat.auckland.ac.nz, though...
There's also a version split in two for floppies and a patch file if
you prefer that.
Here is the relevant part of the NEWS file:
CHANGES IN R VERSION 0.63.1
NEW FEATURES
o new function mosaicplot().
o xy.coords(.) has a "recycle = FALSE" argument, used in text().
o RNGtype() allows to choose different Random Number Generators.
__EXPERIMENTAL__
o print.default(.) now also works with a `right = TRUE' argument.
{{ print.matrix(.) is bound to become deprecated... }}
o new help page `Memory' on the usage of command line options
--vsize and --nsize. Error message if R runs out of memory
points to help(Memory).
o rowsum() and improved na.omit() added from survival4
o backsolve(.) has new arguments "upper.tri = TRUE, transpose =
FALSE"
o hist() has new "right = TRUE" argument;
"right = FALSE" gives [a,b) intervals
o help() has "htmlhelp" argument, allowing to suppress htmlhelp
after
help.start(). This is desired for ESS.
o quantile(.) has an "names = TRUE" argument for speed.
It is much better documented now.
BUG FIXES
o build-help --dosnames should now also work for text help,
latex and examples.
o seq() should work better now (fuzz-factor 1e-7 inserted)
o multiple arguments to return caused value to be a pairlist
o data.frame choked on long names from deparse()
o data.edit now works (dataedit doesn't need pairlist()s anymore)
o as.pairlist(NULL) is ok
o ts(1:5, start=2, end=4) now work. Further plot(ts(..), ts(..))
o eigen() returns $vectors in any case [S compat].
o apply(cbind(1,1:9, 2, quantile) doesn't drop quantile names anymore
o array(1, dim=(1:3)[c(F,F,F)]) is now valid == array(1,NULL) == c(1);
the same for array(a,d, list())
o fix problem with step() and offsets
o drop attributes on matrix subsetting
o kappa(.) now works [dtrco now in load table (ROUTINES)].
o pmin() and pmax() now preserve attributes.
o handle null models arising in drop1(), step, etc.
o partial matching problem with $ indexing
o matplot(.) works with lwd (vectors)
o par("cex.axis") now has the desired effect...
o which(.) now omits NAs in its argument.
o rbind.data.frame caused character-to-factor coercion a bit too often
o couple of messups in dotplot
o z[[1]] <- ~x probl fixed as suggested by J.Lindsey
o do_modelframe could lose contrast attributes
o "make check" needed standardisation of locale
o unlist(...,recursive=F) got names wrong
