Hello!
New version of R has came out and I would like to thank to all developers
on this matter. So I should probably upgrade. Fine and no problem. For
windows I just grab the latest precompiled binnaries and install them. Then
I see a report on a bug, which is or will be fixed in pacthed version. So
I need to get binnaries from patched build and install them, right?
How often do you people upgrade R on windows? For every patch? I know that
it depends on the bug, but I would just like to hear what are your habits.
I suppose Debian packages of "base R" are updated accordingly to R patches,
aren't they?
Thanks in advance!

On the other hand, I try to help with alpha and beta releases during the build-up to a release. Full details are of course in the changelog, on your Debian box in /usr/share/doc/r-base-core/changelog.Debian.gz and on the web at http://changelog.debian.net/r-base Regards, Dirk

The binaries on CRAN are updated by Duncan Murdoch frequently. Of course, you can get the sources at arbitrary time and compile yourself hourly, if you prefer. ;-) You have to distinguish official releases and patched versions. For official releases: Form the developer page: "The general schedule is to have major releases (x.y.0) biannually". During the last few years, each major release was followed by one minor (bug-fix) release after roughly one month. Uwe Ligges
