similar to: Version 1.0-0 of the Rcmdr package

Dear r-devel list members, I've prepared a version of the Rcmdr package that uses the new tools for internationalization and localization in R 2.1.x. For the present, this is the development version of the Rcmdr package (1.1-0), available at <http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/index.html>. There is currently a French translation provided with the package, courtesy of

I'd like to announce a new version, 1.3-0, of the Rcmdr package. The Rcmdr package provides a basic-statistics graphical user interface (GUI) to R. Beyond small changes and additions, this new version of the package makes provision for "plug-ins" that permit extension of the Rcmdr GUI without altering and rebuilding the Rcmdr source package or modifying the installed package. An R

Dear list members, I and my students have encountered an intermittent problem using the Rcmdr package (version 0.9-0) under Windows (with the SDI). The problem occurs both in versions 1.7.1 and 1.8.0 of R. The problem seems to occur only in the following context: The "Edit data set" button is pressed in the Rcmdr GUI. This executes the fix() function on the active data frame,

Dear R-announce list members, I've submitted a new package to CRAN, Rcmdr, which provides a cross-platform basic-statistics GUI for R. Rcmdr is based on the tcltk package and uses only standard Tk widgets. It therefore runs under Windows if Tcl/Tk support is installed with R, although it requires the single-document interface (SDI). I've tested Rcmdr with Windows and Red Hat Linux;

Dear R-announce list members, I've uploaded to CRAN a new version of my Rcmdr package, which provides a cross-platform basic-statistics GUI for R. This version has a few new features, but mostly addresses some problems that arose with the original version. The relevant portion of the CHANGES file for the package is appended. As before, suggestions and reports of problems are appreciated.

Dear Andy and Peter, My apologies for chiming in so late, but I was out of town and just caught up with R-help today (and an impressive amount of material accumulates on R-help in a couple of weeks!). Although I develop the Rcmdr package on a Windows system, I test it under Linux as well -- most recently on Ubuntu 7.04 with R 2.5.0. Curiously, the windows for Rcmdr 1.3-5 look normal to me, as I

Dear R-packages list members, I've recently uploaded to CRAN version 1.1-1 of the Rcmdr ("R Commander") package. Based on the tcltk package, the Rcmdr provides a basic-statistics graphical interface to R. The general functionality of the R Commander has not changed much since version 1.0-0. There are some small improvements to the package, but the reason that I'm re-announcing

I've submitted a new, and substantially enhanced, version (1.2-0) of the Rcmdr package to CRAN. Some highlights (from the CHANGES) file: o Added ability to import from Excel, Access or dBase files (contributed by Samir Messad, Renaud Lancelot and Matthieu Lesnoff). o Added ability to read data from the clipboard (suggested by Graham Smith). o Added "Data -> Active data

Dear R-devel list members, I'm considering adding support for other languages than English to the Rcmdr package. I understand that the use of Tcl/Tk by the Rcmdr package means I won't be able to make full use of the internationalization facilities in R 2.1.0. I'm interested, therefore, in whether the following, more limited, strategy (which bears some similarity to the

Dear R users, I'd like to announce a new version, 1.8-1, of the Rcmdr package.

Dear list members, I'm encountering the following problem with package dependencies and imports: The Rcmdr package doesn't declare a formal dependency (via depends or suggests in the package DESCRIPTION) on the rgl package because the latter apparently causes problems on some systems. This allows the Rcmdr package to build and check on systems without rgl present; if rgl isn't

Dear R users, There is a new version (1.5-1) of the Rcmdr package. Here, from the CHANGES files, are changes since the last minor version (1.4-0) was released a year ago: ------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.4-1 o The following updated translations have been added: Catalan (thanks to Manel Salamero), French (thanks to Philippe Grojean), Japanese (thanks to

Dear list members, I’m trying to install R Commander under Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2).

Dear list members, I've attached some email correspondence with Jaro Lajovic (with his permission), detailing a problem with the Slovenian translation file for the Rcmdr package. In brief, while certain UTF-8 characters used in Slovenian used to appear properly in older versions of R, some characters do not display properly in the Rcmdr menus and output window under R 2.7.x. I've
