Dear Mac users, please consider testing R 2.10.0 beta *before* the release. First, we have now an automated installer generator system for Leopard and Snow Leopard (incl. 64-bit R), so it will be useful to test that it works as desired and second there was one very fundamental change in the GUI (not necessarily visible for the user but it makes sure any new debugging/browser support in R is passed into the GUI) so we want to make sure *before* the release that any issues are ironed out -- but we can only do that with your feedback. The beta releases can be downloaded from http://R.research.att.com/
I'm still having difficulty w/ some of the help features. Specifically on a fresh start of the R GUI selecting "R Help" from the Help menu opens up a blank help window and gives the following at the console: sh: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/share/sh/help-links.sh: No such file or directory Making packages.html . done
Thanks, fixed.
Also, the "magnifying glass" help files on both the R Console and the R Help windows do not open the desired help pages, they only bring focus to the help window.
Thanks, also fixed in the revision 5509. Thanks again for the reports, Simon
Thanks for making R on the mac a pleasant experience.
