I've rolled up R-1.4.1.tgz a short while ago. This is a patch upgrade,
fixing the most important bugs that cropped up after the 1.4.0 release.
A set of recommended packages which have been tested with R-1.4.1 has
been bundled up. Binary distributions are expected to include these
packages.
You can get the files from the developer site
ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.4.1.tgz
ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.4.1-recommended.tgz
or
http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.4.1.tgz
http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.4.1-recommended.tgz
or wait for them to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you. This may not
happen right away due to circumstances in Vienna. Binaries for various
platforms will appear in due course.
There are also versions split for floppies and a patch file against 1.4.0.
For the R Core Team,
Peter D.
Here's the relevant part of the NEWS file:
CHANGES IN R VERSION 1.4.1
BUG FIXES
o scan(multi.line = FALSE) now always gives an immediate error
message if a line is incomplete. (As requested in PR#1210)
o read.table() is no longer very slow in processing comments:
moved to C code and fewer lines checked.
o type.convert() could give stack imbalance warnings if used
with as.is = TRUE.
o predict.mlm ignored newdata (PR#1226) and also offsets.
o demo(tkttest) was inadvertently changed in 1.4.0 so that it would
evaluate the requested test, but not display the result.
o stars(scale = TRUE) (the default) now works as documented (and
as S does). Previously it only scaled the maximum to 1. (PR#1230)
o d0 <- data.frame(a = 0); data.matrix(d0[0, 0]) and
data.matrix(d0[, 0]) now work.
o plot(multiple time series, plot.type = "single") was computing
`ylim' from the first series only.
o plot.acf() has a new `xpd = par("xpd")' argument which by
default
*does* clipping (of the horizontal lines) as desired (xpd = NA was
used before, erronously in most cases).
o predict(smooth.spline(.), deriv = 1) now works.
o identify() failed when x is a structure/matrix. (PR#1238)
o getMethod() returns NULL when optional=TRUE as promised in the
documentation.
o setMethod() allows "..." to be one of the arguments omitted in
the method definition (but so far no check for ... being missing)
o Allow round() to work again on very large numbers (introduced
in fixing PR#1138). (PR#1254)
o Rinternals.h is now accepted by a C++ compiler.
o type.convert() was failing to detect integer overflow.
o piechart() was defaulting to foreground colour (black) fills
rather than background (as used in 1.3.1 and earlier). Now
background is used, but be aware that as from 1.4.0 this may
be transparent.
o La.eigen(*, only.values=TRUE) does not segfault anymore in one
branch (PR#1262).
o cut() now produces correct default labels even when
include.lowest = TRUE (PR#1263).
o reformulate() works properly with a response.
o cmdscale(*, k = 1) now works properly.
o Options by = "month" and "year" to seq.POSIXt() will
always
take account of changes to/from daylight savings time: this
was not working on some platforms.
o glm.fit.null() now accepts all the arguments of glm.fit() (it
could be called from glm.fit with arguments it did not
accept), and is now documented.
o cov.wt(cbind(1), cor = TRUE) now works.
o predict(glm.object, se.fit = TRUE) was failing if the fit
involved an offset.
o detach() on package:base would crash R. (PR#1271)
o print or summary on a manova() object with no terms, no names on
the response and intercept = FALSE (which is not sensible)
would give an error.
o seek() on file connections was ignoring the `origin' argument.
o Fixed new environment handling in library() to avoid forcing
promises created by delay()
o arima0() could leak memory: now released via on.exit().
o qr.coef(qr,*) now keeps the names of qr$qr.
o read.00Index() no longer fails on data indexes not generated by
Rdindex (PR#1274).

R and R-recommended 1.4.1 Debian packages available
Debian packages of R-1.4.1 and R-1.4.1-recommended [1] have been uploaded for i386 and are currently available at http://incoming.debian.org. These will run on any current "testing" (aka "woody") 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 1.4.0 packages for alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, powerpc, s390 and sparc. We will look into the currently missing architectures (mips, mipsel) but these might have compiler problems which prevent the build process from completing. If someone can and wants to build 1.4.1 on Debian "stable" (aka "potato") for the i386 platform, please let me know by email. We would need to alter the debian/* files slightly but this could easily be arranged for.

Hi!
help.search("CORR") points to a function in the "boot"
package.
I don't know how to use packages.
boot.corr(data) does not work.
I have 1.4.1 and I installed the R-base and R-recommended rpm.
Thanks.
