depmixS4 has reached some form of maturity and therefore we have bumped its
version number to 1.0-0 which is now on CRAN:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/depmixS4/index.html

depmixS4 fits hidden (latent) Markov models of multivariate, mixed
categorical and continuous data, otherwise known as dependent mixture
models. Responses or observations can be modeled using GLMs, and
additionally with multivariate normal or multinomial distributions. The
package includes an example of how to add new response distributions.

There is a paper introducing the package in the Journal of Statistical
Software http://www.jstatsoft.org/v36/i07 which is also included as a
vignette http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/depmixS4/index.html

The development version of depmixS4 can be found on the R-forge site:
