Next release of R, August 31st

I'm trying to make a habit of announcing upcoming releases on r-devel,
to give package maintainers a chance of staying in sync, and to
encourage everyone to report bugs in the prerelease versions.

So: R-1.3.1 is scheduled for release on August 31st. In order to be
able to get a solid round of testing on different platforms,
maintainers of the group of recommended packages are requested to
respect a feature freeze starting on August 24th. This means that only
critical bugfixes should go into these packages. The list of
recommended packages are (hope I didn't forget any...)

  KernSmooth
  VR
  boot
  cluster
  foreign
  nlme
  rpart
  survival
  mgcv
