[rkward-devel] [rkward-announce] Upcoming release, call for testing and translating RKWard 0.6.2

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi!

After over a year, it's time for a new release of RKWard: 0.6.2. I would like 
to ask you for help in testing, packaging and translating. Details on 
available downloads, and a tentative release schedule can be found at 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rkward/index.php?title=Release_Schedule 
as usual. The targetted release date is October 20, and I would like to ask 
you to provide feedback by October 15.

Note that in the current testing releases, some loose ends are not yet tied 
up. Importantly some documentation is still to be written, and tests to be 
updated. Additional preview releases will be created as we take care of these 
bits, and work to fix any bugs you find.

Key features to look out for in RKWard 0.6.2 are the new RK() graphics device 
(used for plots by default), which finally brings RKWard's graphics features 
to the Mac, but also fixes some problems in corner cases. Also, there have 
been a number of additions to the plugin infrastructure, and the new Data-
>Recode categorical data plugin shows some of them (this plugin needs thorough 
testing, please take a look!). Importantly, plugins can now query the R 
backend for information such as factor levels.

See the release schedule, above, for all relevant instructions and 
downloads.

--- Translators ---

Now is a good time to start updating your translations. As usual, the deadline 
to send your updates ends with the testing phase on October 15, as we will be 
finalizing the sources, shortly after. As a reminder, RKWard is registered 
for translations on launchpad: https://translations.launchpad.net/rkward , and 
it is recommended to upload your translations, there. Sending translations by 
mail is also ok, of course.

Thanks!
Thomas
