There is a new version of the abind package on CRAN (abind_1.1-0). The behavior of the function abind() has been enhanced slightly (it can now accept a list as the first argument), and changed slightly (to no longer add the usually annoying and useless default dimension names). There is also a new function in the package: adrop(), which does approximately what drop() does, but allows control over which dimensions are dropped.

Details:

        * R/abind.R man/abind.Rd
        allow first argument of abind() to be a list of objects to be
        bound -- this avoids the need for do.call() when one wants to bind
        a list of objects

        * R/abind.R man/abind.Rd
        changed argument name 'use.anon.names' to the more intuitive
        'make.names' (the argument 'use.anon.names' still works)

        * R/abind.R man/abind.Rd
        changed default value for 'make.names' to FALSE (now more closely
        behaves like rbind() and cbind()).  This means that dimension
          names for dimensions that have no names are only constructed
          when requested, not by default.

        * R/adrop.R man/adrop.Rd
        added new function adrop().  This is a function like drop(), but it
          allows to user to specify which of the dimensions with extent one
          will be dropped.


Please let me know of any problems.
