Michael, Thanks a lot for the suggestions!

Re: [R] changelog for MASS?
Hmmm...sorry -- the only thing I can suggest is maybe striking some sort of deal that you change when it gets however many months out of date: if you look here (http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/MASS/), you can see the last time each version of MASS was updated and by seeing what you have, you can see about how out of date you are. In the context of MASS, I wouldn't worry so much: it's tied to a book, not active research, so I don't think it gets updated too often in big ways. The other thing is to actually compare differences in the source code, though that might be more trouble than it's worth.

Re: [R] changelog for MASS?
Thanks Michael, But I can't see the dates on the NEWS so I have no idea what changed from last version or from whichever version we actually have installed. Do you see what I mean?

It's on CRAN, where you can also see the record of updates: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MASS/index.html Specifically, http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MASS/NEWS Hope this helps On Sat, Nov 12, 2011 at 8:55 AM, Xu Wang wrote: > Does anyone know where I can find a changelog for MASS? > > It's difficult to know whether I should ask my company to update the package > or not.

[R] changelog for MASS?
Does anyone know where I can find a changelog for MASS? It's difficult to know whether I should ask my company to update the package or not. We are usually required to show the changelog, but I can't find one.
