In case you haven't already noticed, daily beta versions of R 1.6.2 are being made available via http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/ (also on the rest of CRAN, but the mirroring delays may make that less useful) The plan is to have the final release on January 10, so we are now entering the deep-freeze stage where only critical bugs will get fixed. As usual, it would be a good thing to learn about build troubles and "make check" failures before the release rather than the day after. Maintainers of recommended packages are kindly requested to abstain from making API changes or functionality additions until after the release. -p -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

They won't be daily, but there should be a few more before the 10th. Duncan Murdoch
