I updated to the latest ESS via svn five minutes ago
When I open an file in ESS[S] mode, and type "C-c f" nothing happens...
C-h f ess-f TAB reveals:
ess-find-dump-file-other-window ess-find-exec
ess-find-exec-completions ess-find-help-file
ess-find-rterm ess-fix-EQ-assign
ess-fix-comments ess-fix-dot
ess-fix-dot-1 ess-fix-dot-more
ess-fix-miscellaneous ess-flatten-list
ess-flatten-list-1 ess-force-buffer-current
No ess-function-outline as far as I can see.
Strange...
