Windows binaries at CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org) have been updated to R-1.2.1. See below for the list of Windows-specific changes. guido masarotto (for the R-core team) Windows-specific changes to R ============================ Pipe connections now work under RGui and embedded R.dll, although slower than under Rterm, and as they run with no stdin or stdout to inherit what you can do with them is limited. They work better for reading than writing. The installer will no longer crash trying to install addons with a long PATH and R_HOME not set. Similarly, Rcmd accepts long paths. Using Rcmd INSTALL with an incorrect path specification ending in \ no longer runs amok. Internal pager no longer fails when given a file of one line and no line ending. Hyperlinks to other packages in CHTML files launched by help() will now work irrespective of the working directory (but like HTML, only to packages in the same library). The .chm files do need to be re-built under this version. help(, winhelp=TRUE) will now find alias topics as well as main items. Hitting the total memory allocation limit set by --max-mem-size will give a warning (and will usually also lead to an error, and that may suppress printing out the warning). There is a new make target test-Reg to run the regression tests (which now do I/0, so might give different results on Windows). Rcmd build with the latest tar.exe will exclude files as intended. There are further improvements in the GUI console receiving output (e.g. from tcltk interactive functions) during input. If you can, arrange to send output in a single piece, or at least a whole line at a time (although partial lines will now work). For example, don't use print() but capture the output in a text connection and use something like cat(paste(outlines, "", collapse="\n)) to output a single string. The initial rescaling is no longer done for windows(rescale="fixed"), and the scrollbars in that mode are more responsive but move the viewport 20 pixels at a time. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-announce mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Macintosh binaries and sources have been updated to R-1.2.1 You can find them at http://www.eco-dip.unimi.it/R Please remember that this is still at a developer stage. Feedback and interactions with other Macintosh developer is warmly welcome. Macintosh-specific changes to R ============================== * help.start() has been implemented. Now R for MacOS calls the standard HTML browser to visualize the HTML help and manuals. * getenv() in now working. The .Renviron file is assumed to be in "etc" directory. Directory "etc" is assumed to contain the history file, the image session and the environments variables * a command line has been added. It is possible to specify options as in the Unix/Win implementations. If you don't want to specify options, simply type return after starting R aplication. * InfoZip code has been included in this version. Help files are now stored in zipped archive to save disk space. * packages have been recompiled and few other bugs fixed -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-announce mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Hi Stefano! Good work!
As in the last version there was again the problem with plotmath.cell
plotting text outside the box''s boundaries.
Demo("nlm") crashed with error 2 first but after the usual memory
increase everything went well. It would be nice to get a more
explanatory error message, though.
help.start() worked well.
(G3 Powerbook with System 9.04)
Thanks a lot!

Dear Stefano,
First, I would like to thank you for restarting development of R for the
Mac. I''ve been longing for that for a long time.
I''ve just started using your program and the Edit menu has stopped
working
several times. The keyboard shortcuts for the copy/cut/paste functions also
stop working. I''ve had to restart the application several times to
cure
it... Otherwise everything is running smoothly.
Hope this helps,
Ricardo
