Duncan's 'R changes' feed at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel showed a steady flow of bugfixes and patches in 2.8.0 yet http://developer.r-project.org/ is silent on the topic. Is there any expectation of a point release before 2.9.0 rolls around in April? Cheers, Dirk -- Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions.
