Yes RDCOMClient is not always up to date with the latest version of R. The
software has to be compiled again for each new version of R. If you want to
use this version of RBloomberg, then you need to remain at the previous
version of R until a new version of RDCOMClient is released. (You can still
download R 2.10)

If possible, you should switch to the Java-based RBloomberg using the
Version 3 API. See findata.org for more information.
