A couple of bugs turned up immediately after the release, one of them causing nasty memory corruption when strsplit() was used. Therefore, a set of patches has been supplied on ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base/R-0.99.0-fixes.gz and the rest of CRAN should soon follow. The recipe for patching is (GNU patch assumed) gunzip -dc R-0.99.0-fixes.gz | patch -p 1 For those with broken patch programs or fast connections, there is also a patched distribution in ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base/R-0.99.0a.tgz Files patched: uncmin.c --> demo(nlm) bug character.c --> strsplit/devPS memory corruption printutils.c --> va_list trouble devGTK.c --> gnome/plotmath fix edit.R --> couldn't edit character vectors
