Development version of lme4 now passes its tests

You're correct, Bernd, that the versions available by install.packages
from the repository at R-forge.R-packages.org appear to be out of
date.  Even the tar.gz file scm-latest.tar.gz is out of date
(apparently from January 04).

Those who can build a package from the source files can obtain the
latest version from the SVN archive at R-forge (instructions are given
at the SCM tab on the main project page).  I have just submitted the
package to Uwe's win-builder.R-project.org site to create a binary
Windows package, which I will make available on my web site as
http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/lme4-2008-01-06-wiin32.zip

Stefan: Will someone be able to check on what is happening to the
nightly builds?

I am sorry if I am missing anything but I was unable to download the
windows version of the development version of lme4. Neither
<install.packages("lme4", repos ...> nor the SCM approach
("win32-latest.zip") works properly.

Some of my datasets are very strange... with respect to multilevel
modelling, of course (N ~ 80.000, K = 15, binary dependent variable).
So, it would be interesting to (1) replicate former results. In
addition, (2) I would like to compare lmer results with MLWwiN and Stata
(xtlogit, gllamm, xtmelogit).

Regards,

Bernd
