Hi! R 2.10.0 (scheduled to be released October, 26) will have a new dynamic help system, and unfortunately the current released versions of RKWard do no handle that well. Therefore I'd like to provide a new official release of RKWard in time.
I've drafted a tentative timeline at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rkward/index.php?title=Release_Schedule . The targetted release date is October 20. That's fairly soon, but I feel the sources are in relatively good shape. Of course we still need a lot of testing, and that's the main point of this mail: --- Testing --- Please download the 0.5.2-pre1 release (also linked to from http://p.sf.net/rkward/download) and give it a try. If you have an alpha version of R 2.10.0 installed, or are willing to install one, testing with that will be particularily valuable. Please try to browse a few help pages, and produce some output. Also, if compiling from sources, please run make plugintests after make install, and report any failed tests. Please try to provide feedback by October 14, i.e. a week from now. --- Translators --- .po and .pot files are located in the po-subdirectory, as usual. Please provide your updates by October 14. --- Plugin authors --- If you plan to add features to existing plugins before the release, please post to the mailing list, first. @Michael: I did not forget about you, and will provide feedback as soon as I can. I'm confident that the Stata-import plugin will be part of the official release. Please remember to prepare a small sample file that we can add to the sources for automated testing. You may be wondering what's up with the promised new scripting solution. Well, the first part of it is ready for evaluation/discussion/feedback, and I'll write a separate mail on this in the coming days. However, this will not be finished in time for the release, so plugins continue to be PHP-based in RKWard 0.5.2. --- Closing words --- Remeber: There's always many ways you can help, with or without programming skills. Testing is one important way to contribute, but for instance our wiki / website is always in need of love as well. If you have time to spare, your help will be very welcome. Thanks! Thomas
