I'm appalled to have to say
"ESS Release 5.6 was *NO* good! "
In trying to fix a long-standing windows-only problem
(C-c C-l does not automatically start R initially, as it does on
other platforms),
I've managed to last-minute "break" ESS before releasing,
i.e., in ESS 5.6, the windows-only problem has become
a ``platform-independent feature''
and C-c C-l (load-file) does not work at all AFAICS.
The rest seems ok (and that's why I hadn't noticed the break).
I plan to release 5.7 later today.
PLEASE! Do not release 5.6 for Debian / SuSE / Windows /... !
Martin
