I have re-built all the compiled packages for R 1.2.0 for Windows, and the set available in CRAN/bin/windows/contrib are now for rw1020. If you are upgrading to rw1020, please replace all the compiled packages you have downloaded by ones from this set. There a few packages available for the first time: RMySQL mlbench netCDF and a few that are not yet running on 1.2.0 on any platform hdf5 locfit wle (crashes with an array overrun). Beware of the following (from the current rw-FAQ) 3.5 Loading a package fails. ============================ Is the package compiled for this version of R? Many of the packages need to be compiled for a fairly recent version, and in particular a substantial minority need to be re-compiled for `rw1020'. You can tell the version the package was compiled for by looking at the `Built:' line in its `DESCRIPTION' file or at the `Version' tab of its DLL (if it has one) in the `libs' directory. (Right-click on the DLL in Windows Explorer, and select `Properties' or use the `DLL.version' function inside R.) If there is no `Built:' line or version tab, the package was compiled too long ago. Packages built with the wrong version may well refuse to load, but they might also load and crash R when in use. They might also run and give incorrect results. Packages for rw1011 and earlier are still available in CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/Old, but will not be updated (and I have taken rw1011 off my machine).
