Next release of R, August 31st
Hola! A problem I have had for some versions now: When using R html help, different browsers are started on different machines. On one machine, it starts the opera browser, where html search not functions. On my home machine (with a new version of win98), it insists on starting M$ internet explorer, even though netscape is defined as default (when cliking on the relevant help files in "explorador de windows", netscape opens). On still another machine, we have two different versions of netscape installed (4.7 and 6.?, ?), and R insist on using the old version. Would there be a good idea to define browser as an option(), so the exact location of the .exe can be defined? Thanks, Kjetil.

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...)
