o SOAR v0.99-11 - Minor update to conform with changing requirements for package vignettes. o SOAR v0.99-10 - Minor bug fixed in Search() to use abbreviated names for the home and R_HOME directories. o SOAR v0.99-8 and v0.99-9 Changes to v0.99-7 - the functions Ls, LsUtils and LsData are now allowed aliases for Objects, ObjectsUtils and ObjectsData respectively, purely as convencinces. - lib.loc now has default "." rather than getwd(). This overcomes a small bug if SOAR is being used at the top level of an externam memory device on Windows, e.g. at location E:\ on some machines. - The vignette has been expanded to mention the 'track' package of Tony Place as a possible alternative. This uses a different mechanism from that used by SOAR and for some users might be more convenient. - The Appendix on an earlier version, 'ASOR', has been removed from the vigentte as now obsolete. Users of ASOR may obtain a copy of the old vignette from the mainteiner if need be. o SOAR v0.99-7 - This release corrects several installation glitches in versions 0.99-{4,5,6} and installs a correction to the code that makes the package work on MAC OS X. The correction is due to Prof. Brian Ripley. o SOAR v0.99-5. Chanbes to V0.99-4: - Minor change to vignette Makefile to conform to new package protocols. No change in functionality. o SOAR v0.99-4. Changes to V0.99-3: - minor bug fixes to StoreUtils, StoreData, and other variants on the basic commands, which did not find the right directory in some circumstances. o SOAR v0.99-3. Changes to V0.99-2: - minor coding change to the Data and Utils variants to correct a potential enigma with their operation. Invisible to the user. - The function Search now has an argument, 'abbrev', which allows the user to lop off the leading section of long lib.loc names. The default is not to lop. See help file for more details. - Many changes, extensions and clarifications in the vignette. The most important change is a new sub-section on "Windows and other traps" drawing attention to a potential problem with SOAR on Windows filesystems caused by file-name case insensitivity. As the problem is not exclusively confined to the Windows operating system, all users are urged to read and take in this section before proceeding to use the package. o SOAR v0.99-2 released on CRAn on 2001-04-07. This corrected a potentially serious bug (on Windows alone) and required a change to the encoding scheme. Caches created either with ASOR or with SOAR v0.99-1 are automatically converted to meet the new file name encoding scheme o SOAR v0.99-1 released on CRAN on 2010-04-06. When used with caches created with the unofficial pre-release 'ASOR' package, these caches are (permanently) changed to meet the new file name encoding scheme of SOAR o SOAR v0.99-3.
