This is to announce that we plan to release R version 2.5.1 on Thursday June 28, 2007. The following information is mainly for developers, package maintainers and repository maintainers.
The planned procedure is June 14: Feature Freeze 2.5.1 beta June 21: Code Freeze 2.5.1 RC June 28: Release 2.5.1 FF: Feature set complete, only bugfixing from now on CF: Only critical bugfixes and platform build issues Maintainers of recommended packages should notice that as they become part of the final R tarball, we expect them to follow a similar freeze pattern (and beware of potential CRAN delays, so please do not cut it too close to the deadlines). The source beta/RC tarballs will be made available daily (barring build troubles) by a cron job running at 4AM CET, and the tarballs can be picked up at http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/ a little later. The various freeze points are marked by changes to the VERSION file this is also done automatically by a cron job which runs just after midnight on the relevant days. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
