Hi Rodney,
would it be possible to put a small table of contents at the top of
the README file - like the one you showed. That way people can see
what's covered in the file, and roughly where that is?
Cheers,
Andreas

>
> Changes/New Features in 5.3.9:
> * ESS[SAS]: evince PDF viewer now supported as well; search order:
> evince, Xpdf, Adobe/Acrobat Reader
>
> * ESS[R]: added support for Roxygen, potentially to be extended.
>
> * ESS[S] (and R): inferior (`*R*') and transcript modes no longer
> fontify language keywords (such as `for', `in', etc).
>
> * iESS[Stata]: Customize the `ess-sta-delimiter-friendly' setting to
> t to convert embedded semi-colons to newlines for Stata processing.
>
> * Sweave fix for embedded blanks in PDF reader and PDF files
>
> * Several fixes for Major Mode Convention violations in `ess-mode'
> and `noweb-mode'.
>
> * ESS[JAGS]: `M-x comment-region' now available!
>
> * ESS[S] The `ess-swv-*' commands (and keybindings) are now in a
> submenu of the "Noweb" menu, when editing Sweave files.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.3.8:
> * ESS[JAGS]: more separation from ESS[BUGS] (as much as is currently
> planned); now `C-c C-c' on an empty `.jmd' creates a template as
> it should; symbolic links are created for CODA output so BOA is
> happy: from `index.txt' to `.ind' and `chain#.txt' to `#.out'
>
> * ESS[SAS]: buffer-local `ess-sas-submit-command' and
> `ess-sas-submit-command-options' now recognized by
> `ess-sas-submit-region'
>
> * ESS[S]: When trying to evaluate code in an S language buffer and
> there is no associated process, now start R automatically instead
> of signalling an error. Also, restart R if there is an
> associated process which is not running. However, do not start R
> just via the "electric" `(' (`ess-r-args-auto-show').
>
> * ESS[S]: For (one-line) functions withOUT '{ .. }' bodys, the end
> of function is now correctly found more often. This notably
> improves `C-c C-c' (`ess-eval-function-or-paragraph-and-step').
>
> * ESS[JAGS]: cleanup/re-organization of elisp code; symbolic links
> for CODA output are now only created by the new JAGS `system'
> command in version 1.0.3; specify whether this command is
> available via `ess-jags-system'; if not present, then no links are
> created so that the `*shell*' buffer does not become unresponsive
> during the batch run
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.3.7:
> * ESS: `ess-default-style' now *is* customizable, i.e., changing
> its value in `~/.emacs' now does have the desired effect.
>
> * ESS: `ess-font-lock-mode' is a new variable (default: t) which
> controls whether font-locking is enabled in ESS buffers.
>
> * ESS[R]: for XEmacs on Windows; another tweak to find R versions
>
> * ESS[SAS]: font-locking updated for ODS and SAS Bayesian Procedures;
> a more consistent handling of SAS options by
> `ess-sas-submit-command-options' which is buffer-local; portable
> snooze for MS Windows via customize-able `ess-sleep-for' (floats
> welcome); Xpdf now supported as a PDF viewer
>
> * ESS[Rnw]: now also works with "emacs -nw" and Emacs 22.
>
> * ESS[JAGS]: now requires JAGS 1.0 (see the new ESS for JAGS help
> section for more information): both need work; suggestions welcome
>
> * ESS[R]: [TAB] completion now uses the R-internal completion
> mechanism (for R >= 2.5.0).
>
> * ESS[R] ([S]): interpretation of "_" as assignment has been removed
> in `ess-continued-statement-p' for R and S.
>
> * several internal code cleanups.
>
> * ESS[R]: An experimental version of a new command `Rgui' on MS

>
> Changes/New Features in 5.3.0:

> `M-x ess-bugs-sci-round-to-4-dp'.
>
> * The keys for navigating among section headings in help buffers

>
> * ESS[S] long standing buglets in the internal logic for loading

>
> * New variable, `ess-use-inferior-program-name-in-buffer-name',
> which enables using the executable name instead of the dialect
> name for R. Feature request.
>
> * ESS[S] `ess-execute-screen-options' now also works correctly when

> buffer.
>
> * iESS[S] new functions `ess-eval-paragraph-and-step' and
> `ess-eval-function-or-paragraph-and-step' are bound to keys `C-c
> C-p' and `C-c C-c' respectively and to the menu in ESS-mode; also

> Changes/New Features in 5.2.12:
> * ESS[SAS]: `M-;' fixed, but the XEmacs function `comment-dwim' may

>
> * Rterm/Cygwin combination works under Microsoft Windows.
>
> * ESS[R]: internal calls use baseenv() instead of NULL and define
> 'baseenv' where needed.
>
> * New experimental support for installing ESS. See the file
> `lisp/ess-install.el'.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.11:

>
> * ESS[SAS]: temporary files created for batch submission of a region

>
> * iESS[SAS]: fixed a few nagging bugs, however, still does not
> appear to work at this time; please let us know if you have any
> ideas.
>
> * ESS[S]: Support for running other versions of Splus has been added
> for unix. Two new variables, `ess-s-versions' and
> `ess-s-versions-list', are used to tell ESS what other versions of
> Splus you would like to run.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.10:
> * ESS[R]: ess-r-versions can no longer be customized (since the
> customization was not taking effect unless customizations were
> loaded before ESS). Its value has been changed so that it will
> also find R executables beginning "R-devel" and "R-patched". If
> you wish to change this variable, it must be set in your `.emacs'
> before ESS is loaded.
>
> * Installation with GNU Make enhanced: unix and unix-like operating
> systems will now be able to install ESS for all users in either a
> GNU Emacs site-lisp or an XEmacs package configuration by editing
> `lisp/ess-site.el' and `Makeconf' accordingly, then issuing `make
> install'
>
> * ESS[S]: Filename completion (inside strings) now also works in
> XEmacs for R and S-plus.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.9:
> * ESS[R] for Windows: the \ directory character bug with respect to
> ess-load-file has been eradicated.
>
> * iESS[SAS]: `C-c C-r' and `C-c C-b' once again work as intended and
> documented.
>
> * ESS[S]: M-x ess-fix-EQ-assign is a bit more agressive.
>
> * ESS[S]: Imenu now also shows setAs(), etc.
>
> * ESS[R]: R function pattern enhanced with underlying code such that
> `M-C-a' (`ess-beginning-of-function') etc now work for many more
> cases, including S4 method definitions.
>
> * iESS[R]: myOwnhelp(1) no longer wrongly triggers help(1).
>
> * ESS[R]: Improved detection of bogus help buffers: valid help
> buffers containing with the string "no documentation"(e.g. contour)
> were being treated as bogus.
>
> * ESS[R]: In R help buffers, if `options("help.try.all.packages" =
> TRUE)' then `?rlm' will list which packages rlm is defined in.
> This help buffer is not bogus, but instead is now relabelled
> "*help[R](rlm in packages)*".
>
> * ESS[STA]: add "//" as comment starting character to syntax-table.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.8:
> * iESS: [Tab] completes *file* names "inside string" as in earlier
> (<= 5.2.3) ESS versions.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.7:
> * If you use Custom to change the variable ess-toolbar-items, the
> new toolbar is used in all subsequent ESS buffers.
>
> * ESS[SAS]: new feature: if ess-sas-log-max >0 and your .log grows
> to more than ess-sas-log-max bytes, just the first ess-sas-log-max
> bytes are refreshed; this is helpful when your .sas program
> generates lots of error messages and gets too big for emacs to
> display
>
> * ESS[R/S]: `M-;' in R/S editing modes will now indent with either
> one or two hashes depending on context.
>
> * ESS[R]: David Whiting's Sweave extensions (to 'noweb') are now
> available (from ess-swv.el loaded by default).
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.6:
> * Removed non-ASCII characters in a few files.
>
> * ESS[R]: now works better when UTF-8 locale is active; in
> particular, you get correct directional quotes in R's startup
> message for R-devel (unstable development version of R 2.1.0)
> when using environment variables LANGUAGE=en at quot
> LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
>
> * ESS[SAS]: toggling of .log mode improved (`F10'); toggling of .lst
> mode now also available (`C-F10'); killing all buffers associated
> with .sas program no longer bound to `C-F10' since its a bit
> overzealous.
>
> * S-Plus 7 for Windows is now recognized.
>
> * ESS[S] (incl. R): in auto-fill mode, strings are not wrapped
> anymore.
>
> * ESS[S] (incl. R): font-lock now correctly differs between R and S,
> e.g., for "_"; both now fontify warning(.) and S does terminate()
> additionally.
>
> * Support for `bell' aka `beep' aka `ding' aka `alarm' in all
> inferior modes: When \a is output "to the the console" at the
> beginning of a line, the bell is rung.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.5:
> * ESS[R]: `C-c C-q' or `Quit S' from the menu now should work (again
> and less klunkily) and do not append `-exited' to the buffer name.
> Further, the behavior of `(ess-cleanup)', called from ess-quit,
> now depends on the new customizable variable
> `ess-S-quit-kill-buffers-p' which defaults to `nil'.
> Consequently, the question _"Delete all buffers associated with
> ..?"_ will not be asked anymore by default.
>
> * ESS[SAS] - ess-ebcdic-to-ascii-search-and-replace will now work
> with the `recode' application as well which is available on many
> platforms
>
> * ESS[S] (incl. R): Name completion for slots of S4 objects now
> works!
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.4:
> * The documentation now includes an overview of how to use the emacs
> TAGS facility for S functions. (The distribution also used to
> contain a directory `etc/other/Tags' where a ~1990 version of
> `etags.c' was distributed; this is no longer relevant and so has
> been deleted.)
>
> * ESS[SAS] - When you are working with EBCDIC files on an ASCII
> platform, .log NOTEs may display as gibberish since the EBCDIC
> characters are not converted to ASCII prior to their display. So,
> the function ess-ebcdic-to-ascii-search-and-replace is provided for
> convenience and is bound to `C-F11'. This function requires the
> `dd' command (only available on unix or unix-like platforms).
>
> * ESS: Completion of object names is now always done dynamically
> rather than allowing the option of using a pre-computed database
> (by `ess-create-object-name-db') since modern computers seem fast
> enough for dynamic completion. (We expect few users, if any, have
> been using the pre-computed database method.)
>
> * ESS: object completion in iESS buffers running on Windows was very
> slow (for GNU Emacs, but not XEmacs) and has now been fixed.
> Further, it was more or less broken for all versions of S-plus 6.x,
> and has been fixed to work everywhere but with the Windows' GUI of
> S-plus. The list of objects now shows unique names also when an
> object appears more than once in the search path.
>
> * ESS[R]: Completion of object names now also includes those
> starting with ".".
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.3:
> * ESS: When new inferior ESS processes are created, by default they
> will replace the current buffer (this restores behavior from pre
> 5.2.0). If you wish new ESS processes to start in another window
> of the current frame, set inferior-ess-same-window to nil.
>
> * New variables inferior-Splus-args and inferior-R-args provide a
> way to pass command line arguments to starting S and R processes.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.2:
> * bug-fixes for 5.2.1 (require 'executable), html docs, etc.
>
> * ess-lisp-directory/../doc/info added to Info-directory-list if
> ess-info not found by info
>
> * ESS[R]: If you have other versions of R on your exec-path, such as
> "R-1.8.1" with Unix or "rw1081" with Windows, ESS will find them
> and create appropriate functions, such as `M-x R-1.8.1' or `M-x
> rw1081', for calling them. By default only Unix programs
> beginning "R-1" and "R-2" and Windows programs parallel to the
> version of R in your exec-path will be found, but see
> ess-r-versions and ess-rterm-versions for ways to find other
> versions of R.
>
> * ESS[R]: Other versions of R, such as "R-1.8.1" on Unix and
> "rw1081" on Windows, are added to the "ESS / Start Process /
> Other" menu.
>
> * ESS[S]: If you have other versions of S-Plus on your Windows
> computer, such as S-Plus 6.1 or S-Plus 4.5, ESS will find them and
> create appropriate functions, such as `M-x splus61', for calling
> the console version (Sqpe) inside an emacs buffer. By default only
> programs installed in the default location will be found, but see
> ess-SHOME-versions for ways to find other versions of S-Plus.
>
> * ESS[S]: Other versions of Sqpe on Windows, such as "splus61", are
> added to the "ESS / Start Process / Other" menu.
>
> * ESS[R]: (bug fix) ess-quit (bound to `C-c C-q') should now quit the
> inferior R process, when issued from either the inferior buffer,
> or from a .R buffer.
>
> Changes/New Features in 5.2.1:
> * ESS[S] (R and S-plus): now have toolbar support with icons to
> evaluate code in the inferior process or to switch there. This
> code is experimental and likely to change as XEmacs/Emacs issues
> get resolved. The toolbar should be enabled if your Emacs displays
> images, but can be disabled with the variable ess-use-toolbar.
> Thanks to David Smith from Insightful for the S-plus logo.
>
> * ESS[SAS]: ess-sas-graph-view (`F12') enhanced; you can specify
> external file viewers for each graphics file type via the alist
> ess-sas-graph-view-viewer-alist; also .jpg/.gif are now handled by
> image-mode on XEmacs, if available, otherwise by graphics
> primitives as before
>
> 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

> 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-toggle-underscore nil)" to your
> .emacs after ess-site has been loaded;
> ess-dump-filename-template-proto (new name!) now can be customized

> `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

> 1.11 Reporting Bugs
> ===================
>
> Please send bug reports, suggestions etc. to
> <ESS-bugs at stat.math.ethz.ch>
>
> The easiest way to do this is within Emacs by typing
>
> `M-x ess-submit-bug-report'
>
> This also gives the maintainers valuable information about your
> installation which may help us to identify or even fix the bug.
>
> If Emacs reports an error, backtraces can help us debug the problem.
> Type "M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET". Then run the
> command that causes the error and you should see a *Backtrace* buffer
> containing debug information; send us that buffer.
>
> Note that comments, suggestions, words of praise and large cash
> donations are also more than welcome.
>
> 1.12 Mailing Lists
> ==================
>
> There is a mailing list for discussions and announcements relating to
> ESS. Join the list by sending an e-mail with "subscribe ess-help" (or
> "help") in the body to <ess-help-request at stat.math.ethz.ch>;
> contributions to the list may be mailed to
> <ess-help at stat.math.ethz.ch>. Rest assured, this is a fairly
> low-volume mailing list.
>
> The purposes of the mailing list include
>
> * helping users of ESS to get along with it.
>
> * discussing aspects of using ESS on Emacs and XEmacs.
>
> * suggestions for improvements.
>
> * announcements of new releases of ESS.
