I've just uploaded a Windows binary of R 1.6.1 to CRAN.  It should be
visible at <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/> by tomorrow,
and will hopefully show up on the mirrors around the same time.

Besides the (mostly bug fix) changes in all versions of R, this
Windows version contains the following changes:

 - Changed titles on help windows so topic name shows when minimized.

 - Dependencies were not being generated properly in packages using
C++.

 - share/R/firstlib.R was not being included in the binary
distribution.

Important for downloaders:  the main file to download is called
rw1061.exe.  (This file was called SetupR.exe before 1.6.0.) The
series of rw*.zip files is no longer being distributed.  The mini-R
files are as before.
