Dear ESS users,
We have released ESS 13.09-1
a patch release for ESS 13.09 (which was released Sep 27).
You can get it almost directly from
http://ess.r-project.org/index.php?Section=download
It took longer than anticipated, but then has considerably more
bugs fixed, performance improved than anticipated originally.
The file ANNOUNCE --- part of the tar / zip ball --- contains
the following (among more) :
Changes / Selected Bug Fixes in 13.09-1:
* ess-remote and TRAMP: R support code is now downloaded in binary
form instead of being injected from local machine. The R code is
stored in '~/.config/ESSR/' directory on the remote machine
* TRAMP: PAGER environment variable is now correctly set to
'inferior-ess-pager'
* retrieval of help topics on remote machines is fixed
* org-babel: source references of R code executed from org files
correctly point to source references in original org files (version
8.2.1 or higher of org-mode is required for this feature)
* 'ess-execute' is now bound to 'C-c C-e C-e' in 'ess-extra-map'.
* completion works again in 'ess-execute'
* ESS[R]: 'head' and 'tail' methods were replaced by 'htsummary' in
'ess-R-describe-object-at-point-commands'
* ESS[roxygen]: evaluation commands now work in roxygen blocks.
Leading comments are automatically removed before the evaluation
* ESS[transcript]: 'Clean Region' now works with multiline
statements; 'ess-transcript-clean-region' etc. correctly treat
multiline statements, i.e., no longer forgets the lines typically
preceded by '+'
* ESS[SAS]: Three features/fixes with special thanks to Matthew
Fidler https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/pulls/mlf176f2
(https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/pulls/mlf176f2). Turn on SAS log
mode when appropriate. Indent comments and CARDS statement more
appropriately.
* ESS[SAS]: 'ess-sas-edit-keys-toggle' default returns to 'nil'
* ESS[R]: support for 'prettify-symbols-mode': contribution from
Rudiger Sonderfeld <https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/pull/65>
* ESS[SWV]: knitr now evaluates in the current frame
* ESS[developer]: ess-developer doesn't kill open DESCRIPTION files
anymore
* ESS[roxygen]: 'ess-roxy-preview-HTML' is now on 'C-c C-o C-w' and
'ess-roxy-preview-text' is now on 'C-c C-o C-t'
* ESS: installation with 'make install' was simplified and should
work out of the box on most *nix systems
* ESS installation instructions simplified
* fixed font-lock bug introduced in 13.09 that was causing very slow
process output

Enjoy speaking statistics with Emacs!
