Hmisc 4.0-0 is now on CRAN.  The package has undergone a massive update.
The most user-visable changes are;

- support for Rmarkdown html notebooks

- advanced html tables using the htmlTable package and summaryM function;
can copy and paste into word processors

- support for plotly interactive graphics, e.g.
  options(grType='plotly')
  plot(describe(mydata))

- new function ggfreqScatter

- new object markupSpecs that drives LaTeX and html translations

- describe function computes new statistics and relabels Unique as Distinct

The full list of changes is below.  You can look at examples of html
notebook reports produced using the new Hmisc at
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/Hmisc .  These include interactive plotly
graphics.
