similar to: 1.7.0 scheduled for April 16

The release of version 2.3.0 has been scheduled for April 24, 2006. The first alpha release should be available later today, once I have reviewed the build scripts. The detailed release schedule is as follows March 27: Declare start of release process. The build process is assumed to be essentially in place at this time. There is a "grand feature" freeze (minor tweaks

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

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

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 process leading up to the release of 1.9.0 is detailed below. Package maintainers may want to take notice of important dates and make sure that their packages still work with the alpha/beta releases or work on making a 1.9.x comaptible version. As usual, everybody is encouraged to try out the preliminary releases and report back so that we can get the last wrinkles ironed out before release.

This is to announce that we plan to release R version 2.7.0 on Tuesday April 22, 2008. The following information is mainly for developers, package maintainers and repository maintainers. The planned procedure is Mar 25: "Grand Feature" Freeze 2.7.0 alpha Apr 8: Feature Freeze 2.7.0 beta Apr 15: Code Freeze 2.7.0 RC Apr 22: Release 2.7.0 GFF: No

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

As the subject says, the core team has decided to release R-1.5.1 next Monday, mainly to "officialize" the bug fixes in the current r-patched. It would be helpful that you check it out and report back if you find any bad problems, especially if you have an uncommon platform. (Or very minor nits. The intermediate ones are "out of bounds" at this stage.) -- O__ ---- Peter

I've set up for daily distribution builds of the current development version. These are available at http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/ The current one is R-1.7.0beta_2003-03-26.tar.gz (and it's pretty useless to wait for them to be mirrored elsewhere...) Notice that these are made using "make dist" (like the final release will be) and thus they may have

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

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__

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

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:

As of 19:00 GMT we'll declare a feature freeze on the set of recommended packages. We will then have one week to ferret out as many problems as we can before final code freeze and platform testing. At the same time R-base is code-frozen, i.e. only critical bugs will be fixed. If you want to help making R 1.5.0 as bug-free as possible, it could be a good idea to install the set of

The planned release of R 1.1.0 will be next Thursday. The development version is going into feature freeze tomorrow, meaning that we'll only do testing and fix simple bugs during the next week. Those of you who prefer to find bugs before releases instead of afterwards may want to try it out and tell us what crawls out. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_
