[rkward-users] Preview of RKWard 0.4.8a

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi all,

if you are subscribed to rkward-devel, you will have noted, that the current 
focus of development is mostly on the KDE4 port of rkward. Still some things 
have happened on the KDE3 side of things as well. Most importantly a number 
of bugs have been found and fixed in RKWard 0.4.8. Therefore, I'd like to 
create a 0.4.8a bugfix release shortly. No non-trivial new features are 
included in this release, only bug-fixes.

------- Testing -------

Most changes in this bugfix release are rather simple, and should not 
introduce any new regressions, however, at least one fix is fairly 
system-specific, and should get some testing on as many different systems as 
possible. Therefore, I would like to ask you to download and test 
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/rkward-0.4.8a.pre1.tar.gz .

Of course there can never be too much testing, but for this particular 
release, even very basic testing would be highly welcome on many different 
systems. I.e.
- Compile
- Start and do some very basic things
If you encounter any problems, please post them to the list. If you don't 
encounter any problems, please post a short message to the list as well, with 
info on:
- your distribution
- your processor architecture
- your version of R installed

-------- Release timeline ---------

0.4.8a will be released between Wednesday the 7th and Sunday the 11th, 
depending on how much time I have available, and the amount of testing 
feedback we get. There will not be a second preview release, unless serious 
problems show up.

-------- Further development --------

Versions 0.4.9 (KDE3) and 0.5.0 (KDE4) have not been scheduled, yet. I think 
they will likely both be released some time in December this year, however.

Regards
Thomas
