Thursday, 30 April 2009 Tfry

After a long time without news, a new RKWard release is finally available for download. Most importantly RKWard 0.5.0c addresses problems that have arisen due to changes in KDE and in R.

However, RKWard 0.5.0c also comes with a whole set of plugins dealing with Item Response Theory, contributed by Meik Michalke.

Bug fixes and maintenance:

  • Fix assorted installation problems
  • Updated translations: German, Spanish
  • Fix immediate crash issue with R 2.9.0 (requires recompilation against R 2.9)
  • Fixed some shortcut problems with KDElibs 4.2.x
  • Fixed: Several icons would not be loaded
  • Fix device window capturing Qt 4.4.3 (possibly other versions were broken as well)
  • Fix device window capturing with R 2.8.0

New features and improvements:

  • Extended boxplot plugin
  • Support data.frames in barplot plugin
  • New set of plugins: Item Response Theory (by Meik Michalke)

Version 0.5.0c is available on the download page. For feedback and support, contact us on the mailing list.

Note: A backport of the applicable fixes to KDE 3 is planned, but will take some more time to complete.
