Call to test current R 2.13.0 beta and RCs - especially new GUI features!
I notice that this version hangs when I run the examples for the ezMixed function in the ez package. Some play (https://gist.github.com/909934) reveals that is might have something to do with the custom progress bar I use in ezMixed, but I can get more minimal examples just using the progress bar to work, and furthermore, if one simply runs through the code in ezMixed line-by-line (instead of using it as a function), the hang does not occur. When I replace the custom progress bar with the standard text progress bar, the function works fine. Any thoughts? Mike On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 7:19 PM, Simon Urbanek

It's the time of the year to test the new upcoming R release, but this time I'd like to ask as many users as possible to give the new R a spin, because there are many new features in the Mac GUI which increases the likelihood of bugs. It can be downloaded, as usual, from http://r.research.att.com/ and for those of you that like deep links you probably want http://r.research.att.com/R-2.13-branch-leopard.pkg The new features in R itself can be found in the usual place, but this time the focus is also on the GUI and you can get list of new features in the GUI at https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/Mac-GUI/NEWS Essentially the internal editor has been much re-written thanks to Hans-J?rg Bibiko and thus is much faster, more versatile (encoding selection, better auto-competion) and features shortcuts you know from Xcode (like <Ctrl><H> for help on the current function). Other parts have been improved as well, help pages are now searchable and so is the history, you can use <Cmd><Enter> in most web views and other lists like Data Manager can be sorted. Finally, for your safety document auto-save feature has been added such that open documents are automatically restored even in the [unlikely ;)] case of an R crash. So, please, consider testing the release candidates in the next week or two and report any bugs you should find. This is true both for R itself and the R.app GUI. Thanks, Simon
