They are daily/nightly builds of the current R-devel and R-patched -  
they are not "official", but very close the CRAN releases, because  
they use the same building scripts (on the same machine). You are  
encouraged to use those (namely R-patched) when reporting bugs.

The content of the R-2.2.0.dmg image is the R 2.2.0 sources build,  
but it differs slightly from the release, because it contains only  
the framework package (and there are two other minor details) - I'll  
remove it soon, because the CRAN version should be used now.

Just a side note in case you were busy using the installers for R- 
devel and R-patched - should the installer ever prevent you from  
installing an R-framework package due to version conflict, run the  
following in the Terminal:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/R-Framework.pkg

Cheers,
Simon
