CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week
New packages

  package. Includes animated versions of plot, barplot, persp,
  contour, filled.contour, hist, curve, points, lines, text, symbols,
  segments, and arrows.
* aoos (0.0.1)
  Maintainer: Sebastian Warnholz
  Author(s): Sebastian Warnholz
  License: GPL-3 | file LICENSE
  http://crantastic.org/packages/aoos
  Another implementation of object-orientation in R. Private and public
  methods are part of the class-definition. Allows to write a lot of

* CpGFilter (1.0)
  Maintainer: Jun Chen
  Author(s): Jun Chen
  License: GPL-2

  mixed effects models to all samples including the un-replicated
  samples. Including the large number of un-replicated samples
  improves ICC estimates dramatically. The method accommodates any
  replicate design.

* heritability (1.0)
  Maintainer: Willem Kruijer
  Author(s): Willem Kruijer, with a contribution from Ian White (the internal

  Public attention is an interesting field of study. The internet not
  only allows to access information in no time on virtually any
  subject but via page access statistics gathered by website authors
  the subject of attention as well can be studied. For the omnipresent
  Wikipedia those access statistics are made available via

  well as as web API. This package provides an easy to  use,
  consistent and traffic minimizing approach to make those data
  accessible within R.
