similar to: R-1.5.1 scheduled for Monday, June 17

The release of R-1.9.1 is scheduled for Monday, June 21. Automatic generation of daily alpha releases should start Monday, June 7 and switch to beta status on Monday, June 14. It would be good if package maintainers could get any planned changes done as soon as possible, and test their packages carefully against the alpha/beta releases. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3

We plan to put out R-1.4.1 on Wednesday. This is mainly to get the fixes that we have already made into an official version, and to clean up the problem with the Windows build. Several on the core team are under fairly heavy load at this time, so we'll probably be reluctant to fix further bugs unless they are clearly serious and/or trivial to fix. Those of you that have unusual platforms

We have now (actually a few days ago) declared a "Grand Feature Freeze" on the development sourcs, meaning that we might still add functionality and fix bugs, but we will not do any further major changes. It should be noted that there has been a couple of quite big changes compared to the 1.6.x series, notably namespaces and the methods package. Also, many more packages are now loaded

(Resent, now with correct date in subject. Doh!) This is to announce that we plan to release R version 2.7.1 on Monday, June 23, 2008. Release procedures start tomorrow, Friday June 13. The source tarballs will be made available daily (barring build troubles) by a cron job running at 4AM CET, and the tarballs can be picked up at http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/ a little later.

This is to announce that we plan to release R version 2.5.1 on Thursday June 28, 2007. The following information is mainly for developers, package maintainers and repository maintainers. The planned procedure is June 14: Feature Freeze 2.5.1 beta June 21: Code Freeze 2.5.1 RC June 28: Release 2.5.1 FF: Feature set complete, only bugfixing from now on CF:

The release schedule has now been set with a release date on April 18. The detailed procedure can be found at http://developer.r-project.org/ (it is not quite there yet, but will appear after a short propagation delay.) The main point for non-developers is that we start making alpha tarballs on March 21 and beta tarballs on April 4. Only very simple and/or critical bugs are fixed in the last

The release of R-1.8.1 is scheduled for Friday, November 21. Automatic generation of daily alpha releases should start tomorrow (I'll do the first by hand later today) and switch to beta status on Friday, November 14. It would be good if package maintainers could get any planned changes done as soon as possible, and test their packages carefully against the alpha/beta releases. -- O__

The core team has decided to release R 1.5.0 on April 29th. Somewhat earlier than maybe expected, but we realized that we needed a phase-shift away from our usual cycle with main releases in June and December since it was placing feature freezes just when several members were in a creative phase due to end of teaching. The roadmap is as follows April 8 feature freeze on r-base April 15 code

I've rolled up R-1.5.1.tgz a short while ago. This is a patch upgrade, fixing the most important bugs that cropped up after the 1.5.0 release. A set of recommended packages which have been tested with R-1.5.1 has been bundled up. Binary distributions should include these packages. You can get the files from the developer site ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.5.1.tgz

For the benefit of package maintainers (and others) we thought it would be a good idea to publish the release schedule well ahead this time. The plan follows below. Not everyone in R-core has had a chance to complain, but I'm off to the ISI tomorrow, so I thought it had better be done now. Platform testing has been a major problem with the previous releases. For some reason, people with

For the (slightly) adventurous among you: We plan to roll out R 0.62.3 next Friday. In order to root out remaining bugs before the release, I'd like to encourage you to try it out on your system. Since there is a risk of destabilising things whenever you mess with the configure scripts, we won't attack installation problems on unusual platforms after this week. We also won't take

I'm trying to make a habit of announcing upcoming releases on r-devel, to give package maintainers a chance of staying in sync, and to encourage everyone to report bugs in the prerelease versions. So: R-1.3.1 is scheduled for release on August 31st. In order to be able to get a solid round of testing on different platforms, maintainers of the group of recommended packages are requested to
