<pre class="k9mail">Hi!<br><br>After a long silence, we're finally getting ready to release RKWard<br>0.7.0. As this is the first release to be based on the KF5 / Qt5<br>libraries, rather than KDE4 / Qt4, it would be highly appreciated, if<br>you could help with testing to make sure we are not overseeing any<br>important issues. As for new features, the most prominent thing to look<br>out for is the new "split views" feature, which allows to view R<br>scripts (or data) side-by-side in the main window.<br><br>As a complication, the upcoming R 3.5.0 will break RKWard in two ways:<br>RKWard 0.6.5 will not work with R 3.5.0 at all (if there is a need for<br>this, we could consider also releasing a patched 0.6.5-release to<br>support KDE4 installations; right now the focus in on 0.7.0, only).<br>Further, RKWard 0.7.0 _compiled_ with R >= 3.5.0 will not run with R<br>3.4.x and vice-versa.<br><br>To make sure we avoid breakage as much as possible, we'll try to make<br>do with a rather short testing period, and release on April 16th, i.e.<br>roughly a week before the scheduled release of R 3.5.0. In order to<br>make this work, ***I'd like to ask you to provide feedback by April<br>13*** (the earlier the better). Naturally, if anything important comes<br>up, the testing period will be extended as necessary.
