Thanks,

Changes/New Features in 5.2.0:
* ESS[BUGS]: new info documentation! now supports interactive
processing thanks to Aki Vehtari (mailto:Aki.Vehtari at hut.fi); new
architecture-independent unix support as well as support for BUGS
v. 0.5
* ESS[SAS]: convert .log to .sas with ess-sas-transcript; info
documentation improved; Local Variable bug fixes; SAS/IML
statements/functions now highlighted; files edited remotely by
ange-ftp/EFS/tramp are recognized and pressing SUBMIT opens a
buffer on the remote host via the local variable
ess-sas-shell-buffer-remote-init which defaults to "ssh"; changed
the definition of the variable ess-sas-edit-keys-toggle to boolean
rather than 0/1; added the function ess-electric-run-semicolon
which automatically reverse indents lines containing only "run;";
C-F1 creates MS RTF portrait from the current buffer; C-F2 creates
MS RTF landscape from the current buffer; C-F9 opens a SAS DATASET
with PROC INSIGHT rather than PROC FSVIEW; C-F10 kills all buffers
associated with .sas program; "inferior" aliases for SAS batch:
C-c C-r for submit region, C-c C-b for submit buffer, C-c C-x for
goto .log; C-c C-y for goto .lst
* ESS[S]: Pressing underscore ("_") once inserts " <- " (as before);
pressing underscore twice inserts a literal underscore. To stop
this smart behaviour, add "(ess-smart-underscore nil)" to your
.emacs after ess-site has been loaded;
ess-dump-filename-template-proto (new name!) now can be customized
successfully (for S language dialects); Support for Imenu has been
improved; set ess-imenu-use-S to non-nil to get an "Imenu-S" item
on your menubar; ess-help: Now using nice underlines (instead of
`nuke-* ^H_')
* ESS[R]: After (require 'essa-r), M-x ess-r-var allows to load
numbers from any Emacs buffer into an existing *R* process; M-x
ess-rdired gives a "directory editor" of R objects; fixed
ess-retr-lastvalue-command, i.e. .Last.value bug (thanks to David
Brahm)
* ESS: Support for creating new window frames has been added to ESS.
Inferior ESS processes can be created in dedicated frames by
setting inferior-ess-own-frame to t. ESS help buffers can also
open in new frames; see the documentation for ess-help-own-frame
for details. (Thanks to Kevin Rodgers for contributing code.)
