RKWard 0.7.1 release candidate is available

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi!

The RKWard 0.7.1 release is nearing. I'm targeting an official release
this Thursday, January 23rd. This mail is to inform you about the
release candidate packages for our primary platforms. Barring any
severe issues, these will be simply be renamed to the official release
on Thursday.

Known issues:
- The installation procedure on Mac is still not so smooth, due to
  issues with the Apple Gatekeeper. Procedure detailed at
  https://rkward.kde.org/RKWard_on_Mac.html .
- The Windows installer may appear to "hang" at around two-thirds
  completion, but actually, the progress bar is simply not updating.

Information for (Linux / BSD) packagers:
- Two R package source archives (rkward.tgz and rkwardtests.tgz) are
  now installed to ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/rkward/rpackages . From there
  they will be installed to the user's home directory, when first
  starting RKWard, or when using RKWard with a new version of R. These
  packages are interpreted code, only (but will be byte-compiled by R
  during the second step).
- The -DR_LIBDIR cmake option is now obsolete. Nothing is installed to
  that directory (or any auto-detected system-wide R library location).

Regards
Thomas
