similar to: R 1.7.1 beta is out

The countdown to R version 1.8.0 has begun. As a novelty, we now make preliminary source tarballs available somewhat earlier in the process. They will be found in http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base with names of the form R-1.8.0alpha_2003-09-10.tar.gz The first one was created a moment ago; subsequent ones will be created by a cron job that runs at 05:00 local (Wisconsin) time.

The release countdown for R 1.8.0 has now entered the beta phase. Apart from a change of name of the daily snapshots, this means that there we are now in feature freeze, i.e. we will not add features or change the API from now on. We will try to fix bugs and documentation errors though. The same thing is assumed for the group of recommended packages that we ship with the release. Code freeze is

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

I've rolled up R-1.7.1.tgz a short while ago. This is a patch version mainly fixing up an assortment of issues (see below). Note also that it comes with an updated set of recommended packages, fixing a couple of nasty issues in at least foreign and nlme. You can get it from http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.7.1.tgz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. Binaries

A new version is available from ftp.stat.auckland.ac.nz:/pub/R/R-0.61.tgz and soon from CRAN mirrors everywhere. As usual, there is at least one unfixed bug in the release, but this time, we hope that we have set things up so that future bugfixes can be released more or less immediately. Merry Christmas! The R core team. **********************************************************************

I'm happy to announce that there is now a real bug tracking system for R. Hopefully, this will make it easier for us to keep track of unresolved bugs, which has been difficult because of the massive amount of email that we receive. The system, which is of the JitterBug variety is available through the web at http://r-bugs.biostat.ku.dk or via email to r-bugs at biostat.ku.dk (which is

Due to a glitch with the CVS version management software (quite likely my own fault), R-0.62.0 got shipped without the "tests" directory. Apart from preventing "make tests" from working, it also has untoward consequences for "make clean" and the like. So there's an updated version in R-0.62.1.tgz in the usual places. For good measure, there's also a patch

R-0.61.2.tgz is now available from the Auckland FTP site, from where it should spread to the CRAN sites during the next day or two. Unless you're in a big hurry or actually living in New Zealand, please don't get it from Auckland. There is also an R-0.61.1-0.61.2.diff.gz which can be used to patch an existing R-0.61.1. Instructions for patching are in the VERSION file in same directory.

I've just put up R-0.61.3.tgz and R-0.61.2-0.61.3.diff.gz for anonymous FTP on ftp.stat.auckland.ac.nz. As usual: Don't get it from there unless you are in a desperate hurry. It will migrate to the CRAN sites within a day or two. (See the FAQ for the list of CRAN sites. And see the footer for the FAQ location....)
