RKWard 0.4.9c - Backport of R 2.10.0-support

Thursday, 18 March 2010 Tfry

RKWard 0.4.9c, is available for download, now. This is a backport of some bugfixes from the 0.5.x-series of RKWard, most importantly providing support for the new help system in R 2.10.x. Also, a number of plugin enhancements has been backported from the main branch.

Most users will not want to use this version! RKWard 0.4.9c is intended for systems which are still limited to KDE 3, only. Where KDE 4 libraries are available, we recommend using RKWard 0.5.2.

The changes in detail:

  • Backport all plugin changes and additions up to RKWard 0.5.2
  • Add support for the dynamic help server introduced in R 2.10.0
  • Backport some improvements in event handling
  • Fix deadlock while handling some Tcl events
  • Fix: Warn before saving file that was modified on disk, externally
  • Fix: Do not try to open mimetypes other than text/html directly in the help browser.
  • Fixed: Screen device in rkward was not seen as interactive by R

We always welcome your feedback!
