[RkWard-devel] RKWard 0.2.9

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi all,

RKWard development has slowed down a bit since the last release, since other 
things have been taking up much of my time. However, development is still 
making progress and today I released version 0.2.9.
The new release has relatively few "visible" changes. Internally, however, the 
data editor has been reworked almost entirely. The benefits are that it 
should be better prepared to deal with large amounts of data. Also, it can 
now handle R factors, and the bug with the "type"-field being almost 
impossible to edit has been fixed.
A few further bugs have been fixed, too, and I started turning to the 
plugin-infrastructure again. For the next release I plan some major changes 
there. Most importantly, I plan to make it possible to define "components" 
that can be reused in different dialogs. In the mid-term, BTW, it will also 
be possible to define such components in pyQt or similar.
Also, the next release will have support for creating some R graphs. The real 
solution to graphing will have to be different from that, using e.g. XmGrace 
or other graphing solutions you suggested, but it will do for some eye-candy, 
I hope.
Well, as usual, I'd be glad if you could give the new release a try and report 
bugs/suggestions etc.
