[R-SIG-Mac] R 3.4.1 precompiled binary for Mac?

[Simon Urbanek]

Don,

apologies for the delay, I was traveling (DSC/useR!) and we had an issue with the package signing of the R installer package that required direct access to the build machine so it couldn't be resolved until today. You can always use the nightly build from r.research.att.com (which doesn't require signing) - that one is used for the package builds.

Anyway, R 3.4.1 is now available from the main Mac server http://r.research.att.com/bin/macosx and will propagate to mirrors as they sync with the master.

Cheers,
Simon
