rm141 ===== * no particular fixing rm140 ===== * Added the Preferences panel. The settings in .Renviron are now superseeded by the prefences settings .Renviron can be still used to simulate the Environment for the Sys.getenv() call. * Added the item "Link Packages Help" to the "Help" menu. * Fixed a bug that leaves help menu items ghosted after using them. * Some MRC Apple's Compiler specific fixing. * Fixed problems with current working directory in different points (.Rprofile, .Renviron, etc) * Solved the problem of line endings that are different from MacOS and OS X. Now text files generated under both systems are fine to R. * Makefiles and perl scripts have been fixed so that now R builds via MPW shell scripts and help files are generated as well. * A bug in the internal file viewer that suppressed the "_" symbols from the text has been fixed. * This version of R is slower at startup but faster than then previous release (by a factor of 10%) in calculations. * The initial window at startup has been suppressed in this release in the hope to provide am applescript analogous to pass initial arguments to R. * The about box now reports informations on the current release of R * Added the zlib capability so now R can manage gzipped files and connentions * Fixed some wrong links in html help files * Finally fixed copy and paste of graphic windows contents and saving of them onto files. For some reason the previous algorithm did not copy text characters under MacOS X. * Fixed a bug that appear when trying to reading files or directories on a different volume w.r.t. the current working directory of R. * Added two functions file.edit() and new.file(). The file.edit() function is similar to file.show() but let the user edit the opened file. It it the equivalent to the menu command "Open File for Editing..." while new.file() is the equivalent to the "New Window" menu command with the difference that you can specify the name of the new file to edit. For more details see man pages. * Added three functions to manipulate a User menu in the R Console menubar. With add.menu.cmd(label,command) the user can add menu item "label" to which is associated an R command. Respectively with del.menu.cmd(label) and get.menu.cmd(label) the user can remove or get the command associated to the menu "label". See the help pages for details and examples. * Added three functions to manipulate a User menu in the R Console menubar. With del.usr.cmd() the whole user menu is removed. Respectively with del.num.cmd(menunum) and get.num.cmd(menunum) the user can remove or get the command associated to the menu numbered "menunum". See the help pages for details and examples. * Fixed some problems with windows naming (duplicates and so forth) * Windows (both text and graphic) now appears only after repositioning * lwd parameter in graphic functions re-implemented even if not yet perfectly working. * lty & lwd paramter now works for all the graphic call apart for Circle. * fixed a bug in the function edit(). Now it behaves correctly. If you call it without parameters, the last temporary edited file will be shown. See man pages of edit(). Consequently it is now fixed the problem with the function fix(). * Refresh of graphic windows fixed. One time only and the bottom part of the window is correctly redrawn. rm131 ===== * Added the "Config" menu * Fixed a bug in the lapack module. Complex functions are now available. * Added MPW makefiles to build standard libraries and modules * Added experimental script to build R via Apple's MRC compiler * Now R needs a new shared library "f2c" lib that will increase portability for all fortran based packages * Added support for apple events. R begins to be a scriptable application. Very limited support by now but will increase soon. Some demo scripts have been added. * link.html.help() function has been added by picking windows code. rm130 ===== * Fixed a bug when saving from menus * Added module support * Fixed a bug that crashes R under System 8.6 due to a calling to a non-existent function under 8.6 * Stack and memory settings changed to work on System 8.6 * R main project file and packages project files have been changed * Added back the "Save" menu * file.choose() works correctly now * Now R takes track of file names associated to each window * Fixed a bug with printer dialog * Now R can handle "user breaks" in evaluation and printing loops rm123 ===== This is the first Carbon version of R for MacOS and MacOS X. This version IS NOT a competitor of the MacOS X version based on the X11 device. This version will run under both MacOS and MacOS X natively taking advantages of the new Aqua Interface under MacOS X. A lot of work and many changes have been done to release this version. Even tought most of the known bugs have been fixed it is not excluded that new ones have also been introduced. Numerical issues has been solved, now R passes all the test. Macintosh porting of R-1.2.3, (April 26 2001). ===================================================== * first Carbon version of R for MacOS and MacOS X * cut and paste bug fixed * external editor interaction implemented * gui rewritten and added help menu * macintosh device rewritten * adoption of navigation services for file dialogs * several minor bugs fixed (see the on-line help) * no longer needs a copy of the WasteLib library on the user hard disk * ATSUI technology has been adopted to render text in the graphic device * R is partly configurable via the .Renviron file * numerical issues fixed, now R passes all the tests Macintosh porting of R-1.2.2, (Feb 26 2001). ===================================================== * the GUi is now organized better. It also possibile to "source" files by menus. * sources have been merged with the standard distribution * the InfoZip code has been eliminated. Now it is assumed that the external MacZip application is available. If not, R asks the user to install it. * implemented the startup command line * re-direction of stdin/stdout implemented. Useful to make checks. * several bugs fixed. In particular one "malloc" memory bug has been removed. Macintosh porting of R-1.2.1, beta 2, (Jan 19 2001). ===================================================== * getenv() in now working. The .Renviron file is assumed to be in "etc" directory * "etc" is assumed to contain the history file, the image session and the environments variables * a new command line has been added. It is possible to specify options as in the Unix/Win implementations * packages have been recompiled * few other bugs fixed What's new from R for Mac R-1.2.0, beta 1, (Jan 07 2001). ========================================================== * dir.create() now implemented * help.start() now works. It launches the default browser associated to the file extension "htm" and/or "html". The same behaviour as nder Windows systems. * internal unzip implemented using InfoZip What's new from R for Mac R-1.2.0, beta 1, (Jan 07 2001). ========================================================== * dir.create() now implemented * help.start() now works. It launches the default browser associated to the file extension "htm" and/or "html". The same behaviour as nder Windows systems. * internal unzip implemented using InfoZip What's new from R for Mac R-1.1.1, beta 1, (Dec 10 2000). ========================================================== Sources for MacOS avalaible! This version is only an update to version 1.2.0 of R sources. This is intended to release sources for MacOS developers. * memory allocation problems have been fixed. * Packages have been rebuilt to version 1.2.0. * proc.time and system.time are now partially implemented. They give results in seconds only for total system time and process time. The system time is calculated as the number of seconds passed from booting your machine. * Memory settings are now ignored since from version 1.2.0 of R there is no more (really) a need to fix VSize and NSize. If R runs out of memory it only suffices to increment the Memory of the "R application" from the Finder. The default is set to 25Mb but you can change it as you prefer up to the maximum of the memory currently avalaible on your Macintosh system. * the Sys.timezone() implemented by a trick. The timezone string can be read from the system but not set. The function getenv still doesn't exists on Macintosh. * command history is now saved and loaded. do_savehistory and do_loadhistory fully implemented. Macintosh porting of R-1.1.1, beta 1, (Dec 10 2000) ==================================================== * tempfile() is now supported. Temporary files are stored in a directory "tmp" that it is assumed to be in the main R folder. If it doesn't exist, R create it. All temporary files will be stored there. * unlink() is implemented. It can delete only files and dirs created from the current R session. Wildcards not allowed yet. * Dynamic libraries are fully implemented grace to the code give to me by Luke Tierney. (There is a problem with DLLName. Every function must be searched for global and not for a specific package when calling .C/.Fortran etc) * Most of the packages have been compiled but the tclk one. * tclk demos disabled * Packages. The following packages have been compiled or simply added to the base one: ctest (ex:tested) eda (ex:tested) lqs (ex:tested) modreg (ex:tested) mva (ex:tested) nls (ex:tested, does not work "SSlogis") splines (ex:tested) stepfun (ex:tested) ts (file AnIndex to be built) wavethresh (examples and help files to be built) * Metric Information for graphics device partially working. You can write expressions and symbols in plots but it is not yet perfectly working. * data(women) doesn't load! Can't understand why...yet. * XDR loading/saving has been implemented. I use the code from B. Ripley that (seems) to work fine with very little modifications. * Load and Save of image is now implemented correctly. * Load and Save implemented from menu too. If you save from menu an icon will be added to the file. You can double-click on a R file to start the application or load a file in R if the application is running. You can also drag&drop the file on the R icon to launch R. * Help files are now displayed correctly with colors as under Windows What else still remains to do! ============================== There are lots of things that have to be implemented and fixed. Not all the avalaible packages have been compiled. If you have any particular need please let me know and I will compile and made available the package. There is not an automatic install procedure for building packages under MacOS yet. This current version containes wavethresh and multiv packages but no help files and examples are avalaible yet. If you need them you should only copy the directories "help" and "R-ex" of the Windows distribution in their respectively directory under this distribution. Hystory ======= What was in R for Mac pre-alpha 2 and 1 ======================================= * dir, setcwd, getcwd * macdevice pdated to WasteLib 2.0
