R-1.6.1beta available

R 1.6.1 has been scheduled for November 1.

We're makin interim beta versions available via

http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base

(ftp://cran.us.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base used to work, but
apparently FTP access has been disabled)

The filename is R-1.6.1beta_*.tar.gz, where * is the creation date. 

If you want to help ensure that the final 1.6.1 works satisfactorily
on *your* platform, it might be a good idea to make a test build of
the beta and report any errors back (to the r-devel list, not to me
personally, please!).

New versions will be made available each day until the final release,
barring hardware trouble and build script failures.
