I've rolled up R-2.1.1.tar.gz a short while ago. This is a maintenance release containing mainly bugfixes. See the full list of changes below. You can get it from http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.1.1.tar.gz (give it some time to arrive there) or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. If you're *really* impatient, www.biostat.ku.dk/~pd/R-release should work too. Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course. There is also a version split for floppies. For the R Core Team Peter Dalgaard These are the md5sums for the freshly created files, in case you wish to check that they are uncorrupted: 94d55d512a9ba36caa9b7df079bae19f COPYING d8045f3b8f929c1cb29a1e3fd737b499 COPYING.LIB 70447ae7f2c35233d3065b004aa4f331 INSTALL 1504edf0958138c034375749c3a189ee NEWS 88bbd6781faedc788a1cbd434194480c ONEWS 4f004de59e24a52d0f500063b4603bcb OONEWS e755b0ba5851ec261000af6b5c510335 R-2.1.1.tar.gz 97ff97d7094ef8d4cb0615bc9c3c4fe0 R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.aa 40bbb45da53c04fefcaa8370ca84df81 R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.ab 1fe3281097b6bce8c5d1eef2d1105f6a R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.ac eaaa59c6f78b47ca45439f59f4bc99a2 R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.ad 7b3f0fba58926784052632133b926311 R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.ae 7bf0703625535bec3da0a5e66e6c1d28 R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.af d1da10e9d40f1266a5aa8d71e5def67e R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.ag e90ea3c12153908184a4cb5307ffde09 R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.ah 03f19a0d058aba30c686400fc3f85d76 R-2.1.1.tar.gz-split.ai e755b0ba5851ec261000af6b5c510335 R-latest.tar.gz 56a780cdec835c5c598f8dfc0738f7f3 README Here is the relevant bit of the NEWS file: CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.1.1 NEW FEATURES o bug.report() now reports the locale in use. o upgrade.packageStatus() allows user input "c" to cancel the upgrade, just as update.packages() does. o glm() now accepts 1D arrays (e.g. tables) as a response, dropping them to a vector whilst preserving names. o df() with one infinite df now works (to match pf()). o Added tclServiceMode() function to the tcltk package to allow updating to be suspended. o The Encoding: field of a DESCRIPTION file is now documented, and used by packageDescription() and library(help=). o There has been progress on translations: existing translations have been revised and expanded, and French and Korean have been added. The Windows installer supports a wide range of languages for installation. BUG FIXES o lm(qr=FALSE) now works. o predict.glm() not longer loses names for "response" predictions. (PR#7792) o Typo in menu(graphics=TRUE) meant it failed on Unix if tcltk was not available. o When names.dist() was removed, the result of cmdscale() lost its rownames. The example also lost the labels. o R CMD check assumed 'tar' was GNU tar and so supported -z. o read.table() was not handing escaped quotes inside quoted fields in the first five lines of the file. (PR#7789) It was also not handling correctly EOF in the first five lines when reading from stdin(). (PR#7772) o 'make uninstall' was incomplete. o make.packages.html() called by help.start() was failing if there were installed packages with help titles invalid in the current locale. o printCoefmat(signif.legend = FALSE) was non-functional. (PR#7802) o Some as.date.frame() methods failed because the expression deparsed into multiple lines. (PR#7808) o setRepositories() had a typo. (PR#7810) o Printing arrays/data frames with multibyte characters in the column labels was sometimes misaligned or using excessive space. (PR#7803) o The Tcl/Tk console did not support multibyte characters. o as.POSIXlt() could give infinite recursion if passed a corrupt "POSIXct" object (generated by an incorrect call to c.POSIXct, PR#7826). o update.packages() was not passing 'type' correctly to install.packages(). o Printing the result of an unbalanced model.tables() call sometimes got confused if terms() had rearranged interaction terms. (PR#7829) o .Platform$pkgType was wrong on the CRAN MacOS X build, and .install.macbinary() was missing. o as.personList() as used by citation() got confused by names containing "and". (PR#7797) o Subscripting an array by a matrix containing zero or negative values or the wrong number of columns was not handled consistently. (PR#7824) o select.list(multiple=TRUE) now detects and tries again for invalid text input. o add1.[g]lm could give strange results with interaction terms when the model and the upper scope had different orders for the main effects. (PR#7842) o A bug had sneaked into the anova.mlmlist() code, affecting the Greenhouse-Geisser epsilon. Code wrongly assumed a matrix to be symmetric. (Thanks to Bela Bauer.) o anova.mlmlist() and mauchley.test() are now more tolerant to rank deficiency in the M and X matrices (also when they are implicitly generated via model.matrix()). o anova.mlm had a scoping issue (PR#7898) o pf() with infinite df is allowed again. It is now more accurate for extreme ratios of dfs, especially when there is a non-centrality parameter. o df() was inaccurate for large df (1e16 or greater). o dt() was inaccurate for large df (1e9 or greater) with a non-centrality parameter. o runmed(*, algorithm="Turlach") seg.faulted in rare cases. o strwrap() now makes a reasonable job of text that is invalid in the current locale. o Reading with encoding "UCS-2LE" will remove any Byte Order Mark, as most implementations of iconv fail to handle BOMs (which are present in 'Windows Unicode' files). o unique() for a list was incorrectly reporting `unimplemented'. o The parser's contextstack was not protected against overflow, e.g. more than 50 unmatched '('. (PR#7859) o source(file, chdir = TRUE) was not checking that 'file' was a filepath (rather than a URL). For 2.1.0 only, it did not work even if 'file' was a filepath. o Hershey fonts were being sized based on pixels not points so came out too small on devices where pixels were noticeably different from points (e.g., win.printer() and high-resolution screens). Fix means that default size of Hershey fonts may be slightly different, for example, smaller by default on PostScript and PDF. o The branch cuts in the complex versions of the inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions were non-standard. (PR#7871) o truncate() on file() connections was limited to files < 2Gb. It now works for larger files at least on 64-bit OSes and others where ftruncate supports such files. (Related to PR#7879) o proj.aovlist() did not work correctly on objects fitted from a data frame with row names. o The coding standards recommendations had nuke-trailing-whitespace where newer versions of ESS need ess-nuke-trailing-whitespace. (PR#7888) o package.skeleton() missed the first newline in the DESCRIPTION file. o pbirthday() reported p = 1 too often when coincident > 2. o plot(1:3, exp(1:3), log = "y", ylim = c(30,1)) {reversed log-scale axis} now works, based on Uwe Ligges' suggestions. (PR#7894) o install.packages() was aborting when a package in a bundle was chosen from a menu. It failed if more than one package in a bundle was chosen from the command line. o qcauchy() suffered from underflow in the extreme tails. (PR#7902) o Printing of raw matrices/arrays was not implemented. (PR#7912) o getCallingDLL()'s default first argument did not correspond to its description and has been changed. The mismatch caused symbols in .C/.Call/.Fortran calls without a PACKAGE= argument to be potentially looked up in the wrong namespace. o Binary save() of raw vectors was not working correctly on big-endian platforms. (PR#7812) o as.Date.factor() now accepts a format argument. o Workaround added for FreeBSD which does not have alloca.h _and_ does not allow alloca() to be declared. o identify() now respects 'cex'. (PR#660) Warnings from identify() are now printed immediately even on consoles with delayed printing. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ??ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
