nightly release, rkward-master-1062-windows-msvc2019_64-cl.exe, regression

[someone]

Thanks very much for responding!
I'm writing a review of software. I'll use the most recent 'official' release.
Thanks
Gene

we don't release on a fixed schedule, and most of the time we do not plan releases far ahead. No timeline is currently set for 0.7.4. However, looking at the current set of changes, I think a release somewhere around late May, early June may be good bet.

0.7.3 was officially released on April 21st. The R 4.2.0 variant was added on April 30.

It's still quite fresh, although we've also made some nice progress,since.

> It includes nightly releases up to what date?

This is harder to answer than one might think: A while before each release, development is "branched" into separate lines: one to become the release, and receiving only conservative changes, another to become the release after that, and also receiving more new features. The second branch corresponds to the nightlies.

Of course both are still connected in that bug fixes and some other small changes are made to both branches in parallel. I'd have to look up the date of branching, but that would have been early to mid April.

> How would I know when it gets updated?

This list always gets a notification of new releases. Alternatively, here's an RSS stream you could subscribe to:
