mgcv version 0.8-0 is now on CRAN. mgcv provides generalized additive models with automatic smoothing parameter selection. Models may include smooths of more than one variable. This release fixes one platform dependent problem that could result in convergence problems/ unstable models, provides facilities for using multi-dimensional smooths with very large data sets, provides a mechanism for conditioning smooths on factors, allows terms like s(x)+s(y)+s(x,y) in formulae and has improved convergence diagnostics.
