How does one install the new version? The standard command I've used
for other packages
install.packages("quantmod", repos = "http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
installs 0.4.1 which is likely the stable version I suppose.
The quantmod code on R-Forge should not be considered "stable". It's where development changes are applied and tested. If you want the latest from R-Forge, you must build from source, or wait for the R-Forge build process to create the package. See here if you want to build from source. http://stackoverflow.com/q/11105131/271616
Yeah, you're right. I'm not going to mess with that. Hopefully someone will patch the stable version as soon as is reasonable to add this change. Thanks, Mark
