R-beta: New version available

[Peter Dalgaard BSA]

A new version is available from
ftp.stat.auckland.ac.nz:/pub/R/R-0.61.tgz
and soon from CRAN mirrors everywhere.

As usual, there is at least one unfixed bug in the release, but this
time, we hope that we have set things up so that future bugfixes can
be released more or less immediately.

Merry Christmas!

The R core team.

                CHANGES IN VERSION R VERSION 0.61

We try to make development more flexible by creating a "CVS branch".
This should make it easier to produce patches for obvious bugs in the
releases, without having to wait for changes in other areas to
stabilize.

NEW FEATURES

    o   New functions "all.vars" and "all.names" added.

    o   There has been a small change in the include file structure.
        All include files now live in RHOME/src/include and are
        copied to RHOME/include when needed.

    o   The "noquote" functions are now documented.

    o   A new `language' demo, "is.things", is provided.

    o   symnum(.) function

    o   The files in R/library/base/data have had a .R suffix added.

BUG_FIXES

    o   A nasty bug which showed when attempt was made to create
        a zero length call has been fixed.

    o   model.matrix(.) now allows a  contrasts argument.

    o   barplot(.) now also works for barplot(table(rpois(100,3))).

    o   make clean ; make    now should work;  ./Makefile.in eliminated

    o   format(.) is now generic;  the default method has a `digits' argument.
