Windows binaries at CRAN (bin/windows/Windows-NT/base) have been updated to R-1.2.2. See below for a list of Windows-specific changes. guido masarotto (for the R-core team) ============================ Windows-specific changes to R ============================ The long-running saga of importing R metafiles into Word is over; lines are now visible in screen previews in Word. It was necessary to use `geometric' rather than `cosmetic' pens to achieve scalable line widths in metafiles: Word was failing to show lines drawn with `cosmetic' pens. bringToTop() now works with MDI child windows as well as SDI windows. Rcmd build/check use a different check for a directory, to work around a bug in (some versions of) Windows Perl. The datetime code has been modified to work around a problem reported on a Win98 machine which caused times to be reported in GMT. (This seems a bug in a particular version of msvcrt.dll and few machines were affected.) A side-effect of the changes is that the timezone names reported are usually more sensible (but sometimes less). File etc/Makeconf-tests was missing from rw102Xsp.zip. Rcmd SHLIB now supports compilation from C++ sources. Rterm now saves and resets the console window title. On Win2k, system(intern=TRUE) was failing to reset stderr to the console. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- 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 !)
