[R-gui] rgtk2 on cran

2 messages · Michael Lawrence, Uwe Ligges

I am pleased to announce that RGtk2 (version 2.8.5) is now on CRAN. 
Currently it is only the source package, but I am hoping that the CRAN 
maintainers will put the Windows version up there soon.

Also, unless any major issues arise, this is probably the last release 
of the 2.8.x series. Development has already progressed to the 
2.9.x/2.10.x series which will bind to the GTK/GDK/GdkPixbuf 2.10.x, ATK 
1.12.x, Pango 1.14.x, and cairo 1.2.x API's.

Thanks for your interest,
Michael

Hope too -- within the next 24 hours on CRAN.
Due to the Windows binary package maintainer was travelling, he was not 
able to fix a little bug that caused a hang up of the build process 
since June 22nd.
