[R-SIG-Mac]R 150 for MacOS (Carbon R) released

[Stefano Iacus]

I have just updated the CRAN with the latest build of R 150.
The archive also contains all the base and recommended packages.

It will be mirrored in a couple of days or so.

Contributed packages will follow in few days.

Here the Changes for version 1.5.0

		Macintosh-specific changes to R
		===============================

rm150
=====

* using dev.off() when a user close a windows instead
   of killing directly the device
* changed MPWBuild to take care of changes in the src/include
   directory
* fixed a bug with path length (Thanks to T.Lumley)
* fixed a problem with building help files. In particular,
   html help files now have correct links
* added system() functionality under MacOS X. When R is
   running under MacOS X, it is now possibile to run BSD
   shell commands via the system() R command. Very limited
   at the moment but working.
* fixed the problem with the error message: "negative length vectors
   are not allowed". Now you should not experiment this anymore.
* MacZip not needed anymore.


Note for developers:
--------------------

For the people who want to build R from sources: you should the replace 
the file src/macintosh/MPWBuild with the one you find in this prebuilt 
distribution of R for Macintosh. See details in the file README_MAC.TXT 
inside rm150 folder.
