The next version of R will be released (barring force majeure) on June
20th, with beta versions available starting Monday.
Please do check them on your system *before* the release this time...
Apologies for the late announcement, but my department moved this week
and I needed to be sure that my set-up survived the move.

We believe we have a workaround and it has been tested by Rainer Hurling, but tests of the actual beta tarball would be helpful. - AIX. I am unclear if R currrently builds on AIX. - Solaris 10. I believe that various people have now succeeded, but it would be good to have positive feedback, especially if anyone has the latest Sun compilers (Forte 9?). - Korean. We have recently had contributed Korean translations of the messages, Windows menus and installer. It looks like Korean to me, but that's as far as it goes. So please test on Windows and on Unix-alikes, the latter in both UTF-8 and EUC-KR if possible. - Bleeding-edge OSes, e.g. anyone running Fedora Core 4 test 3? (These often show up problems with bugs in the pre-release versions of components such as X11 and compilers.) - Windows: R for Windows can now be installed in a wide range of Western European languages, some Eastern European ones, (Simplified) Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Please test these. If you know Catalan, Czech, Dutch, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, (European) Portuguese or Slovenian please consider submitting translations for the following phrases which will otherwise appear in English: en.regentries=Registry entries: en.associate=Associate R with .RData files en.dcom=Register R path for use by the (D)COM server en.user=User installation en.compact=Minimal user installation en.full=Full installation en.CJK=Chinese/Japanese/Korean installation en.custom=Custom installation -- Brian D.

Question: I just downloaded the daily Windows build of "R-devel" and it claims to be a pre-release of R 2.2.0. So ... is the next release 2.1.1 or 2.2.0? Or is there just not a readily-available Windows build of 2.1.1?

Or is there just not a readily-available Windows build of 2.1.1?R-devel is the development version for R-2.2.0. You want to download R-patched (to be R-2.1.1) instead.

R (Version 2.1.1 beta (2005-06-14)) compiles fine using: $ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8) and make check-all passes with no problems. I have also installed all CRAN packages that do not require other 3rd party drivers, etc. and there were no observed errors in those cases. So far, so good. If anything comes up, I will post a follow up. Best regards, Marc Schwartz
Marc, Thanks for the confirmation. Is this using gfortran too? A date of 20050519 should be after the show-stopper bug was fixed, but I am waiting for 4.0.1 to be released (imminent) before doing more tests with gcc4.
