[R-sig-ME] lme4 1.0-4 now on CRAN

[Joshua Wiley]

Hadley is correct.  Installing from source on R 3.0.0 windows works:

> install.packages("lme4", repos = "http://cran.r-project.org", type = "source")
[snip compile info]
> require(lme4)
[snip]
> example(lmer)

lmer> ## linear mixed models - reference values from older code
lmer> (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy))
Linear mixed model fit by REML ['lmerMod']
Formula: Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject)
   Data: sleepstudy
REML criterion at convergence: 1743.628
Random effects:
 Groups   Name        Std.Dev. Corr
 Subject  (Intercept) 24.741
          Days         5.922   0.07
 Residual             25.592
Number of obs: 180, groups: Subject, 18
Fixed Effects:
(Intercept)         Days
     251.41        10.47
