First off, I've released a third technology test for StatPaper. A brief
list of changes:
* Automatically detect Darwin or Fink installations of R (preference
in that order)
* The OpenMath package is part of the application and bootstrapped
during the local kernel launch process (read: you don't have to do
anything except launch StatPaper)
* Backend cleaned up and modified to allow for pagination. There are
still some gotchas but it does a much better job now. It also has much
better caret tracking and should always keep the caret in view.
* The ability to delete blocks (yay!)
* You can save files as a "package" (similar to Keynote), which
contains an XML file and the PDF files used for plots.
* Internally the notion of linking blocks is supported. This will
become important when drag-n-drop rearrangement of blocks is supported
so that code execution will update the appropriate set of blocks
* A smarter plot layout (that will eventually be attached to a plot
management panel)
I'm sure I've missed other things so I encourage y'all to check it out
at its new home http://statpaper.sf.net
You can also check out a copy from CVS in the usual SourceForge manner
(the OpenMath package is also in CVS)
Feedback is, as always, welcome.
