Hi all,

I've created a new source-tarball and a new .deb with the current state of 
rkward:

http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/rkward_0.3.5.tar.gz
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/rkward_0.3.5_i386.deb

The most noteable addition since the last version a few days ago is Pierre's 
syntax highlighting for the console. Some other minor improvements have been 
done as well.
This new version of rkward should compile with pre-releases of R 2.3.0, but 
currently there is a grave bug in R when used embedded 
(https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-April/037217.html). Hence rkward 
will not be able to do anything real at all with current R. In debian, a 
version of R that still works is r-base 2.2.1-6. The version that does not 
work is 2.2.1-svn37668-1. Other distributions may or may not have this 
problem, but again: If you have the choice, you should not update R, yet. It 
sounds like the bug will be fixed soon, however.

Of course, once again, it would be nice, if you could do some testing. As I do 
not have much time tomorrow, and don't know about Friday, yet, the most 
likely date for the release is Saturday or Sunday - unless some more grave 
problems are found.

Regards
Thomas
