We are now starting testing R 2.13.0/alpba/beta/RC and testing and
feedback would be appreciated (whereas reports on problems immediately
after release will try our patience).
Sources are available at
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/
Windows binaries at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rtest.html
and Mac binaries at http://r.research.att.com/, specifically
http://r.research.att.com/R-2.13-branch-leopard.pkg
(and it is best to use the CRAN master rather than mirrors which will
lag behind).
Please report (success as well as failure except on the most common
platforms) here, r-wind...@r-project.org or r-sig-...@r-project.org.
We probably have good coverage of Debian/Fedora i686/x86_64 Linux, Mac
OS X, Windows, Solaris and x86_64 FreeBSD 8.2: reports on other
platforms would be particularly welcome.
There have been a number of confused postings about 64-bit R on
Solaris: the R-admin manual in this version contains detailed
instructions on what works for us (Solaris Studio 12.2 and 12u1, and
gcc4 on Sparc) and what doesn't (gcc on amd64) and why.
Package maintainers should review the results for their packages at
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary.html
and submit updates if needed as soon as possible and definitely well
before April 13. That page is in the process of migration to
R-prerel: for now the most useful columns are r-devel (Fedora),
r-devel (Windows, really R-prerel) and the Solaris x86 column.
