Yes. Doesn't help the issue that CRAN no longer has packages for 3.2.x

Like I said, the options are
a) Use the 0.7.0 preview on Windows. This "should" work, but you'll have 
some minor UI differences between that and 0.6.5b on Mac.
b) Roll your own bundle with R 3.3.3 as outlined in my previous mail.
c) Wait for me to do this. In fact I'm just getting started to, but I 
cannot promise when I will get around to finish this.

Yeah, totally annoying when things just break behind (y)our back(s). 
Don't worry, we'll find a workable solution before Monday.

(And staying on top will become considerably easier, once we finally 
have a KF5-based 0.7.0, and can work with a supported toolchain, again; 
we're mostly just missing some build scripts on Mac, and some finishing 
touches, there).
