[R-SIG-Finance] RBloomberg News and Upcoming Versions

[Krishna Kumar]

Just a quick note to thank the original creator and you for the work  
on this. This is a work-horse for a lot of routine things I do.  I  
will have a look at the new beta and let you know my feedback.  If  
there is one wish it is not so much RBloomberg (specific) but the  
quirky behavior of the BBG api and the data limits (for large  
retrievals) needs to be better documented. There has been a few posts  
here on this very topic.
