Description:
 RKWard aims to provide an easily extensible, easy
to use IDE/GUI for the R-project. RKWard strives
to combine the power of the R-language with the
(relative) ease of use of commercial statistical
packages. While RKWard is far from finished, it is
already useful to R experts looking for an IDE
interface to the R language. For R novices, it
provides graphical dialogs for a limited but
growing number of statistical and graphing
features.

Changelog:
 --- Version 0.4.7 - Apr-11-2007
- some fixes for GCC 4.3
- fixed: the presence of user objects called
"missing", "assign", or "get" would confuse some
RKWard internals
- several existing plugins have been improved in
various ways
- use maximum permissible width in the object
viewer
- fix a crash that occurred during startup under
some circumstances
- when flushing the output, also delete all graphs
- add support for a "technical details" section in
plugin help files

a radio or dropdown control in plugins

paired test
- show current working directory in the statusbar
- add run selection action to all HTML windows

problems

console, the console does not become blocked for
piping
- make "run current line" advance the cursor to
next line after running
- warnings and errors are highlighted in command
log / console (warnings only for R >= 2.5.x)
- plugin generated commands are run in a local()
environment, allowing for more concise code

means)

encoding of CHARSXPs

the navigation bar) can be defined

using a thin red border

rk.print.literal () for use in plugins

the interface is switched from dialog to wizard or
vice versa

whether code display is shown by default, and at
what size
