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:
 ** NOTES **
- Versions of RKWard 0.5.0 or higher are designed
for KDE 4, and cannot be used with KDE 3. For KDE
3 use the 0.4.x versions.
- The build system was changed to CMake. Read
INSTALL for details on how to build RKWard.
- Due to clashes with kate default shortcuts, the
shortcuts for Run->Run Line, Run Selection, and
Run All were changed to Shift+F7, Shift+F8,
Shift+F9, respectively.
- The tabs in the main workplace view no longer
have a close button that is shown when hovering
the mouse over the respective icon. Rather, there
is a single button to close the current tab, shown
at the right of the tab bar.

behavior of the MDI windows (Settings->General)
