R devel - Jan 2002 - 1.4.1 release date

Has the likely release date for R 1.4.1 been set? Apologies if there is some
obvious place on the web site that I could have looked this up at. We are eager
to upgrade to 1.4, but some of the bugs matter to us. We have played around
with the patched code, but have mainly succeeded in demonstrating that we need
to learn more about UNIX code development . . .

Thanks to all for a most excellent program. 

Regards,

Dave Kane

It's generally announced on developer.r-project.org, but currently
that only says that a date hasn't been set.

It's "under consideration"... The release manager (i.e. me) has a
book
deadline on Feb. 1, so wants to keep his nose down, but on the other
hand he also wants to be able to refer to a bugfixed version, so a
release towards the end of January is definitely possible. I should
have a better estimate around the weekend.

At any rate, now is a good time for people to try out their old code
and see if they can scare up some new bugs. Or maybe even debug and
file patches for things already reported.

(Which bugs were bothering you and have they been fixed?)

We have run a large amount of our code through 1.4.0 and noticed nothing amiss
(except the two items below).

The rounding issue and the as.is=TRUE. Both have been fixed (as we can see by
for ourselves in R-patched).
