R Developer Page

This site is intended as an intermediate repository for more or less finalized ideas and plans for the R statistical system. Most parts of the site are open to the public, and we welcome discussions on the ideas, but please do not take them for more than that, in particular there is no commitment to actually carry out the plans in finite time unless expressedly stated.

For general information about R see CRAN and its mirror sites.

The core team can access the source files for this site by


CVSROOT=cvs.r-project.org:/home/rdevel/CVS-ARCHIVE cvs co R-dev-web

any commit to this area is immediately reflected in the web pages.

Release plans

The next release of R will be 0.90.1 and scheduled for 15 December 1999. The planned sequence of releases is 0.90.0 -- 0.90.1 -- 0.99 -- 1.0, with 1.0 getting released on Feb 29, 2000. We may also want a 0.90.2.

Pointers

Some of these are still only planned.
