Release plans for 2.14.2 and 2.15.0

Peter Dalgaard — 2012-02-13T09:12:38

It is the intention of the R Core Team to release the finalized version of the 2.14.x series at the end of February, and soon thereafter to start the run-in for 2.15.0. I.e.,

2.14.2 "Gift-Getting Season" on Feb 29 (3rd anniversary of R-1.0.0!)

(We'll see about getting the nicknames into the actual sources this time.)

Windows binary of 2.14.0

Duncan Murdoch — 2011-11-01T20:03:48

To all Windows users:

The binary build of 2.14.0 that was uploaded yesterday was missing Cairo 
support.  I have rebuilt it, and uploaded a new copy.

You can tell which one you have by running "svg()", which works on the 
new one, but not the old one.

You can tell which one is on your CRAN mirror by looking at the last 
changed date:  it is today (November 1) for the corrected build.

Sorry for the inconvenience....
