Peter Dalgaard is travelling today, so this is a 'heads up' on the effects of having gone today into feature freeze on 2.3.0. R-devel (the SVN trunk and the tarballs made available from ETHZ) is now labelled '2.4.0 Under development' and will shortly include changes intended for 2.4.0 (and not for 2.3.0). The pre-release code for 2.3.0 is on the SVN branch R-2-3-patches: daily

This example is caused by R's messing with formula environments. That's explained in ?formula, but should it not be explained in ?model.frame ? Simple test: data <- data.frame(y=rnorm(100), x=1:100) testit <- function(formula) { weights <- runif(100) glm(formula, weights=weights, data=data) } testit(y ~ x) weights is looked for in the environment of the formula, not of

Versions of the V&R libraries, VR_5.3pl025-1.tar.gz, and of tree_0.2-2.tar.gz (giving most of the functionality of S's tree system including all that I have ever used) are now available on CRAN's Vienna node, and will propagate. There is an early draft of an R user's complements on Venables & Ripley available from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS2/Compl.shtml This is

Summary: loglin will fail if there is a global variable called c. I have fixed this for 0.64.2 and 0.65.

At http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/win32/ I have made available ports to Guido Masarotto's rw0630 version of a large number of packages, basically all those on CRAN except purely data collections. Please read the instructions in the README file. Also there is a set of dlls in new/iodlls.zip that enable most (but not yet all) of these to work with the rw63-io version, and new/bdr0631.zip, a

Charles Raux raised the problem of having object names with accented chars in. This is supposed to work, but depends on the machine being set to a locale that allows accented chars, and knowing correctly which they are. Windows being what it is, this is a problem. It seems that with the standard runtime crtdll.dll that rw1011 uses, Windows 9x does not know about locales, whereas NT does but

In looking over the bugs list, it seems to me that most of them are things we can no longer do anything about, because they are on old versions or broken systems or were features or .... There are now so many they obscure the bugs needing attention. I am about the remove the following. If anyone thinks they are still relevant, could you please send a follow-up to R-bugs with details under 1.2.0
