Dear R People: When will version 1.9 (for Windows) be ready, please? My reason for asking: there is an interesting library from Bioconductor called tkWidgets. However, it will only work with version 1.9.0 or higher. Are there ways around this, or should I just be patient? Thanks so much in advance! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: hodgess at gator.uhd.edu

I'm not sure if you're looking for functionality specifically found in the devel version of tkWidgets or not though.

We had to do a lot of adjustments this week, including creating a completely new archive site, and we are a bit paranoid right now about security. We think we have the generation of the beta releases set up again but Peter had to leave for ENAR before that could be completely tested. Best guess currently is a source code release during the week of April 11 followed a few days later by the Windows binary. I believe that Duncan Murdoch has beta test versions of the Windows binary for R-1.9.0 available from his web site. I have forgotten the URL. Perhaps someone can remind us.> My reason for asking: there is an interesting library from > Bioconductor called tkWidgets.
