I've rolled up R-1.6.1.tgz a short while ago. This is a minor upgrade,
fixing an assortment of minor bugs, and one major one: 1.6.0
introduced a memory leak in deparsing, causing much trouble for people
running simulations.
You can get it from the developer site at
http://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.6.1.tgz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you. Binaries for
various platforms will appear in due course.
There is also a version split for floppies, but due to the inclusion
of recommended packages as binary .tar.gz files, I'm no longer
providing a patch file.
For the R Core Team,
Peter D.
Here's the relevant part of the NEWS file:
CHANGES IN R VERSION 1.6.1
NEW FEATURES
o Added a few "trivial and obviously missing" functions to
tcltk:
tkchooseDirectory, tkpopup, tkdialog, tkread
o barplot() has a new argument `axis.lty', which if set to 1
allows the pre-1.6.0 behaviour of plotting the axis and tick
marks for the categorical axis. (This was apparently not
intentional, but axis() used to ignore lty=0.)
The argument `border' is no longer ".NotYetUsed".
BUG FIXES
o hist(<datetime>, cex.axis = f) now works for x-axis too.
o prompt() gave wrong \usage{.} for long argument default expressions.
o summary(x) gives more information when `x' is a logical
(or a data frame with a logical column which is now quite customary).
o seq.POSIXt(from, to, length.out= . ) could give too long results
o summaryRprof() was counting nested calls to the same function
twice.
o Printing of objects of mode "expression" did strange things if
there were "%" characters in the deparsed expression
(PR#2120).
o as.matrix.data.frame converted missings to "NA" not character
NA.
(PR#2130)
o spec.pgram() was only interpolating zero freq for one series. (PR#2123)
o help(randu) had % unescaped in the example. (PR#2141)
o Making html links would fail if packages-head.html was not
writeable. (PR#2133)
o Sweave.sty was not installed to $R_HOME/share/texmf when
builddir != srcdir. On Windows backslashes in latex paths have
to be replaced by slashes.
o A memory leak in deparsing was introduced when eliminating
static variables (thanks to Achim Zeileis for spotting this).
A similar problem in loading workspaces has been corrected.
o TclInterface.Rd incorrectly used \synopsis for \usage so that
the usage section wasn't output.
o Readline stack off-by-one error. (PR#2165)
o R_ExpandFileName had a memory leak in the case libreadline was
used under Unix-alikes.
o sys.save.image() now closes all connections so it will work even
if the connection list has become full.
o loess() had an unstated limit of four predictors: this is now
documented and enforced.
o ${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron.site is now not read if R_ENVIRON is
set, as documented. Previously it was read unless R_ENVIRON
pointed to an actual file.
o Startup.Rd described the proceesing under Unix-alikes but
incorrectly implied it happened that way on the Windows and
MacOS ports. Neither use Renviron.site, for example.
o besselK(x,*) now returns 0 instead of Inf for large x. (PR#2179)
o The Tcl console code didn't work with Tcl/TK 8.0, and has been
#ifdef'd out. (PR#2090)
o format.AsIs() was not handling matrices.
o sd() was not passing na.rm to var() for matrices and data frames.
o dist() {mva} silently treated +/-Inf as NA.
o setwd() now returns NULL invisibly.
o basename() and dirname() did not check the length of their
input and ignored elements after the first. This affected
undoc {tools}.
o If A had dimnames, eigen(A) had inappropriate dimnames. (PR#2116)
o as.POSIXct.dates had a sign error for the origin (PR#2222)
o The claim that pie charts should be avoiden (in pie.Rd) is now
supported by a quote from Cleveland (1985).
o The vsnprintf() functions supplied for systems that don't
supply their own had a bug in the output of fractional parts,
corrupting data if using save() with ascii=TRUE. (PR#2144)
o pretty() values close to 0 in some cases which are now 0 (PR#1032
and D.Brahm's mails).
BUILD ISSUES
o Toplevel Makefile was missing dependency of "docs" on
"R" (causing
parallel makes to go wrong)
o When building with recommended packages those were installed
into the first path in R_LIBS, if the environment variable was
present.

Looking forward to it. Now: does anyone know if it is possible to get a CD with the whole of CRAN on it, from anywhere convenient for the UK? Being largely obliged to download by modem, it's not practical for me (and quite possibly for many others) to have the whole of CRAN conveniently to hand; yet I'd dearly like to have it so!

> Now: does anyone know if it is possible to get a CD with the > whole of CRAN on it, from anywhere convenient for the UK?Sort of -- I noticed a few months ago that cheapbytes.com now presses an R cd for a modest $4.99. See item 38 on the list at: http://cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/scan/mp=category/se=101.html?id=cTof88sn as well as the product description at http://cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/0070010796.html However, this looks more like "R binaries for a lot of platforms" cd than a CRAN cd with all the modules. But a well-written email telling them where to start on the CRAN file tree, as well as why that may be a good idea, might give rise to another CRAN cd. They probably ship to the UK too. Or other cd vendors might jump at this. You could talk to Chris Lawrence <lawrencc at debian.org> who also sells inexpensive CDs at www.lordsutch.com, and reads this list. Hi Chris :) But then, maybe this is something for the R Foundation to raise a buck or two?

Doug Bates had posted a link a while back, a company selling R on CDROM. Don't remember the name. Would the R Foundation be interested in selling the CD (or subscription of CD) as a mean to raise fund for development? (Sort of like the TeX-live CD, I guess...)

Debian packages of R-1.6.1, including r-recommended, have been uploaded for
i386 and should seen be available at http://incoming.debian.org. [1] These
will run on any current "testing" ("sarge") or
"unstable" (aka "sid")
distribution.
The next archive installation (around 14:00h Central time tomorrow) will move
these files into the package pool from where they will propagate to the usual
mirror sites.
The build daemons for the non-i386 architectures will then complement the
i386 release. We currently have 1.6.1 beta packages for alpha, hppa, i386,
ia64, m68k, mips, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
