I've been using a cvs2cl.pl (http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl), a nice little perl script to auto-generate GNU-style changelogs from CVS log information. This site also has a proposed XML format for changelogs, and cvs2cl can optionally produce this instead. Finally, they have an XSLT sylesheet that will convert the XML changlong format into an HTML/XHTML page. How about we borrow this tool

There appears to be no "is.formula()" function in R-1.9.1. May I suggest that is.formula <- function(x) inherits(x, "formula") be added to base, since formula is a fundimental R type? Gregory R.

I have a revised version of the gregmisc package, which I've converted into a package bundle each of which has a namespace: gplots, gmodels, gdata, gtoools. Of course, there are interdependencies among these namespaces: gsun374: /tmp [11]> cd gregmisc/ gsun374: gregmisc [12]> grep import */NAMESPACE gdata/NAMESPACE:importFrom(gtools, odd, invalid, mixedsort)

Dear Greg, Thanks for the new release. The decomposition of the SSQ is just what I need! Regards, Martin.

As I've mentioned a number of times. I find it very useful to have lowess() become a generic function so that a lowess.formula() can be defined. Below is a patch that makes both changes, as well as updating the corresponding help documentation. Gregory R.

What I am doing : create a simple correlation matrix on 41 variables, then plot an heatmap with this program : library(gplots) mat<-cor(temp.alln,use="pairwise.complete.obs") hm<-heatmap.2(mat,symm=T) HM<-format(round(mat[hm[[1]],hm[[2]]],2)) library(RColorBrewer) brewer.pal(10,"Spectral")->mp heatmap.2(mat, symm = TRUE, col = mp,

Looking over the contents of various packages, including my own, it is clear that lots of things end up 'hidden away' in packages where they don't belong. My gregmisc package is a particularly egregious example, containing something from almost every functional category. I propose that from time to time the R community go through the complete set of packages and 'refactor'

With the recent changes in R 1.9.x, it is now impossible to properly call plot on a formula() where the formula is provided via a named first argument. On today's R-1.9.1-alpha: > x <- 1:10 > y <- rnorm(x,0.25) > > plot(x~y) > > plot(x=x~y) Error in terms.formula(formula, data = data) : argument is not a valid model > > plot(formula=x~y) Error in

Today's R 1.9.0 beta: > m1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] NA NA NA NA [2,] NA NA NA NA [3,] NA NA NA NA [4,] NA NA NA NA > class(m1[1,1]) [1] "list" > cbind(m1,m1) Error in cbind(...) : cannot create a matrix from these types > rbind(m1,m1) Error in rbind(...) : cannot create a matrix from these types > version _

Perhaps one could create a utility function has.element <- function(list, name) name %in% names(list) and then have $ generate a warning (not an error!) when the named element does not exist. This would be helpful in debugging code. Yesterday I spent quite some time tracking down an error that turned out to be $ returning a NULL because the data file I read in had a variable mis-named.

When the R_HOME environment variable is set, R issues a warning messages when it starts up.

In R-1.5.0pre (2002-04-08) on Solaris 2.6, the window that X11() creates has a title like: R Graphics: Device 2 (ACTIVE) o iyeP )( y except the funny characters at the end have umlauts and other accents (i.e. extended ASCII characters), and they may be different each time X11() is invoked. There is no loss of functionality; it just looks a little ugly. I saw this behavior in R-1.3.?, it
