R devel - Nov 2003 - R-1.8.1 scheduled for November 21

The release of R-1.8.1 is scheduled for Friday, November 21. 

Automatic generation of daily alpha releases should start tomorrow
(I'll do the first by hand later today) and switch to beta status on
Friday, November 14.

It would be good if package maintainers could get any planned changes
done as soon as possible, and test their packages carefully against
the alpha/beta releases.

FYI: Yesterday evening Debian packages of 1.8.1 alpha were uploaded which
will be available via the 'unstable' portions of the usual Debian
mirrors.
As of right now, ia64, hppa, sparc, arm and powerpc have already built
packages too. I intend to do another release of '1.8.1 beta' next
Friday.

Regards, Dirk
