I've just uploaded the build of the new R 1.6.2 release to CRAN. It will soon be visible there in
http://www.cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base and by Monday should be available on all the mirrors. See the CHANGES file for windows-specific news about this release. A number of minor bugs have been fixed. One change should help in debugging external code: dyn.load now checks whether or not the DLL it just loaded has messed with the floating point control word. This may turn up bugs in old code that have been hidden for a long time, since the effects of an FPU control word change are fairly subtle. It is also likely to turn up cases where video drivers are messing with the FPU control word. If you see messages like >Warning message: >DLL attempted to change FPU control word from 8001f to 9001f look at the dyn.load help file, and if you still don't know how to fix it, feel free to write to me for help.
