- This is onews.info, produced by makeinfo version 6.5 from onews.texi.
-
- Changes and New Features in 15.09:
-
- * ESS[R]: The indentation logic has been refactored. It should be
- faster, more consistent and more flexible. There are three types
- of indentation settings, those starting with 'ess-offset-' give the
- actual offsets, those starting with 'ess-indent-' are control
- (commonly Boolean) variables, and those starting with 'ess-align-'
- are vertical alignment overrides which inhibit default offsets in
- specific situations. See 'ess-style-alist' for detailed
- description of the new indentation system and provided default
- indentation styles.
-
- * ESS[R]: Deprecation of old indentation settings. As a consequence
- of the indentation re-factoring 'ess-brace-imaginary-offset',
- 'ess-expression-offset' and all delimiter-specific offsets are
- deprecated. The settings for indentation of continued statements
- have been replaced by 'ess-offset-continuations'. It can be set to
- either 'cascade' or 'straight' (the default).
- 'ess-arg-function-offset' has been replaced by
- 'ess-indent-from-lhs' and has been generalised to assignments.
- This setting now works with both statement blocks and expressions
- and only takes effect for offsets set to 'prev-call' and
- 'open-delim' in order to produce a consistent indentation.
-
- * ESS: A test framework has been set up.
-
- * ESS[R]: A new RStudio style is provided to mimic as closely as
- possible R files indented via RStudio. To reproduce the setup of
- some of the RStudio users, the RStudio- style with
- 'ess-offset-arguments' set to 'prev-line' is also provided. In
- addition, the new RRR+ style is equivalent to RRR except it indents
- blocks in function calls relatively to the opening delimiter. This
- style does not try to save horizontal space and produces more
- indentation.
-
- * ESS[R]: Roxygen fields will now be indented on paragraph refilling
- in order to make the documentation more readable. You can also
- refill commented lines in the 'examples' field without squashing
- the surrounding code in the comments.
-
- * ESS[R]: ESS can now format your code! This is controlled through
- the settings 'ess-fill-calls' and 'ess-fill-continuations'. When
- activated, '(fill-paragraph)' formats your calls and your
- formulas/continuations while making sure they don't go past
- 'fill-column'. Repeated refills cycle through different styles
- (see the docstrings for more details). By default, the refilled
- region blinks. Set 'ess-blink-filling' to nil to prevent this.
-
- * ESS[R]: Fix occasional missing error location fontification in
- inferior buffers.
-
- * ESS[R]: ess-developer now correctly assigned the environment of new
- functions to the package namespace.
-
- * ESS[Julia]: ?[topic] now works in the *julia* buffer. Note that
- support for editing Julia code now depends on 'julia-mode.el' from
- the Julia project. If you install ESS from the official
- tarball/zip file, 'julia-mode.el' is already included. Otherwise,
- if you install ESS by running 'make', then the latest version of
- 'julia-mode.el' is downloaded (and so you need an active internet
- connection to install) during the installation process.
- Alternatively, if you run ESS without running 'make', then ensure
- that you have the 'julia-mode.el', which you can get easily from
- MELPA for example.
-
- * iESS: For naming inferior processes, ESS can use 'projectile''s
- project root and it does so when
- 'ess-gen-proc-buffer-name-function' is set to
- 'ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:projectile-or-simple' as by default, or
- to another value beginning with
- 'ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:projectile-*'.
-
- Changes and New Features in 15.03-1:
- * ESS[R]: An indentation bug has been fixed (github issue 163)
- * ESS[R]: On windows, if 'ess-prefer-higher-bit' is non-nil (the
- default), then R-newest will try to run a 64 bit (rather than 32
- bit) version of R.
-
- Changes and New Features in 15.03:
- * ESS[R]: Full native support for 'company-mode'.
- * ESS[R]: More efficient caching algorithm for R completion.
- * ESS: New offset variable 'ess-close-paren-offset' to control the
- indentation of the closing parentheses.
- * ESS[R]: Ask for CRAN mirror only once per emacs session.
- * ESS[R]: Detect 'library' and 'require' calls for better completion
- caching.
- * Buffer display is now customizable ('ess-show-buffer-action').
- * Use 'y-or-n-p' instead of 'yes-or-no-p' throughout.
- * More support for ODS in ess-sas-graph-view.
- * Makefiles are now both UNIX and GNU friendly.
- * ESS[R]: Simplify directory lookup in 'ess-developer' (#137).
- * Make closed paren indentation consistent
-
- Bug Fixes in 15.03:
- * Fix open brace indentation bug (#27 in ess/R-ESS-bugs.R).
- * Fix git version lookup
- * Don't check directory modtime in R dialect.
- * Declare all ess macros for edebug.
- * Add 'ess-smart-comma' to eldoc message functions.
- * Inform users when retrieving RDA aliases.
- * Line ending in '~' is also a continuation line.
- * Filing roxy paragraphs works as expected now.
- * In 'ess-developer-add-package', remove incorrect 'wait' argument
- from 'ess-get-words-from-vector' call.
- * Fix #96, #117, #120, #125, #134, #137.
- * Fix ess-quit-r. Call base::q() even if it is masked.
- * Fix 'ess-show-buffer' to always display the buffer in another
- window.
- * Makefile: Fix cd bug for directories with spaces in them
- * 'ess-kill-buffer-and-go' modified to not restart R
-
- Changes / Selected Bug Fixes in 14.09:
- * ESS[Julia]: Executable is changed to 'julia'.
- * ESS[Julia]: Completion and help system was adjusted to Julia
- v.0.3.0. Julia v.0.2.x is no more supported.
- * ESS[R]: Running R with 'gdb' debugger now works as expected
- * iESS: Inferior ESS buffers are now derived from 'comint-mode'
- * ESS[R]: 'ess-execute-screen-options' uses correct screen width in
- terminal sessions
- * ESS: 'ess-build-tags-for-directory' works when no TAGS file name
- was provided
- * ESS: 'ess-offset-statement-continued' is now respected everywhere
- except inside of the 'if' test condition.
- * ESS: New variable 'ess-offset-statement-first-continued' for
- indentation of the first line in multiline statements.
- * ESSR: Starting ',' in multiline statements indentation is now
- ignored to achieve a more pleasant alignment.
- * ESSR: Improved behavior of 'RET' in roxygen blocks.
- * ESS[R]: command cleaning with 'C-u C-u C-y' was broken with lines
- containing " + "
- * ESS[R]: fixed "empty watch window bug"
- * ESS[R]: don't ask for help location on ac-quick-help (request of
- github #81)
- * ESS[R]: "importClassesFrom" and "importMethodsFrom" were added to
- the list of two-parameter roxygen commands
- * ESS[R]: fix vignetes display and hyperlinks (were broken in
- 13.09-1)
- * ESS[Julia]: recognize function names ending with !
- * ESS[Julia]: fix indentation of "for" comprehension syntax within
- brackets.
-
- 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 '.ess_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
-
- Changes/New Features in 13.09:
- * font-lock in process buffers doesn't "spill" over prompts. Missing
- closing string delimiters should not cause wrong fontification of
- the following command input.
- * ESS[julia]: full features M-TAB completion and auto-complete
- support, which now works for modules, structures and data types.
- * ESS[julia]: a much better eldoc showing arguments of methods and
- data type constructors
- * ESS-developer:
- - ESS-developer work-flow pattern has been streamlined:
- ESS-developer is now automatically activated on per-file basis
- if the file is part of a developed package
- 'ess-developer-packages'. The old behavior (activation on
- per-process basis) is still available on 'M-x ess-developer'
- in a process buffer.
- - integration with 'devtools' package. New command
- 'ess-developer-load-package' calls 'load_all' on the package
- containing current file. 'ess-developer-add-package' now
- offers IDO menu completions with available loading methods,
- currently 'library', and 'load_all'. Loading command can be
- customized with 'ess-developer-load-on-add-commands'.
- * 'TAB' now indents region if region is active (a contribution of
- Matthew Fidler in pull #41)
- * 'M-x ess-version' now reports full loading path and recognizes git
- and ELPA versions.
- * warning and error keyword are now highlighted with
- 'font-lock-warning-face' as they should be, (for quite some time
- these keywords have been hijacked by compilation mode
- fontification).
- * eldoc: Eldoc now recognizes multiple processes. If current process
- is busy, or current buffer is not associated with a process, eldoc
- picks its completions from the first available free process.
- * org-babel: evaluation is now org-friendly
- * help: new help buffers now try to reuse ess-help buffers. This
- behavior is controlled by 'ess-help-reuse-window' custom variable.
- * help: ?foo pops IDO menu on multiple help files (so far it worked
- only for 'C-c C-v')
- * remote evaluation is considerably faster now on slow connections
- * ESS[R] tracebug R source references regular expressions are
- (mostly) language agnostic.
- * 'ess-function-call-face' inherits from
- 'font-lock-function-name-face' rather than
- 'font-lock-builtin-face'.
- * 'ess-inject-source' now accepts 'function-and-buffer' option.
- * Documentation: The "New Features" section (and 'NEWS') now
- represent recent changes: within the last year or so. All changes
- can be found in the new news.html (news.html) (or 'NEWS' and
- 'ONEWS').
- * ESS[R] 'ess-rep-regexp' should no longer inf.loop (rarely!), and
- hence 'M-x ess-fix-miscellaneous' should neither.
-
- Changes/New Features in 13.05:
- * ESS[gretl]: Support for 'gretl' (both editing and sub-process
- interaction). A contribution of Ahmadou Dicko.
- * ESS: process output display is 4-10 times faster due to new caching
- and only occasional emacs re-display (for the moment this
- functionality is available only when 'ess-tracebug' is active).
- * ESS: 'C-c `' is now bound to 'ess-show-traceback' and 'C-c ~' is
- bound to 'ess-show-call-stack'.
- * ESS[R]: ESS stores function in 'ESSR' environment to avoid kludging
- users' global environment and accidental deletion.
- * ESS[R]: new variable 'ess-swv-processing-command' to control
- weaving and tangling.
- * ESS[R]: 'ess-default-style' has been changed (from 'DEFAULT') to
- 'RRR'. Use something like '(setq ess-default-style 'DEFAULT)' or
- '(setq ess-indent-level 2)' in your '~/.emacs' equivalent _before_
- loading ESS, if you do not like this new "incompatible" default
- style.
- * ESS[julia]: ESS stores its functions in 'ESS' module.
- * ESS[julia]: Eldoc is now supported in julia modes
- * ESS[julia]: Adjusted error reference detection and interactive help
- to julia internal changes
- * ESS[R]: 'ess-use-tracebug''s default has been changed to 't'. Set
- it to nil if you want to keep the previous behavior.
- * ESS[tracebug]: Electric debug keys have been removed [breaking
- change] The functionality was replaced with 'ess-debug-minor-mode'
- and 'ess-debug-minor-mode-map'.
- * ESS[tracebug]: 'ess-tracebug-map' is an alias to 'ess-dev-map' 'C-c
- C-t'.
- * ESS[tracebug]: 'ess-bp-toggle-state' ('C-c C-t o') can now be used
- during the debug session to toggle breakpoints on the fly
- (suggestion by Ross Boylan).
- * ESS[tracebug]: 'ess-debug-flag-for-debugging' and
- 'ess-debug-unflag-for-debugging' work correctly from the debugging
- contexts. These commands also recognize non-exported functions for
- the packages listed in 'ess-developer-packages' ('C-c C-t C-a').
-
- * ESS[R]: Eldoc (activated by 'ess-use-eldoc') has become more
- sophisticated, and hence also more intruding in the interface
- between the Statistics softare, e.g., R, and the user.
-
- Note that you can turn off ElDoc, by placing '(setq ess-use-eldoc
- nil)' in your '~/.emacs' file, prior to loading ESS,
-
- * ESS[SAS]: long over-looked 'SAS-mode-hook' appears!
- * ESS[SAS]: 'ess-sas-edit-keys-toggle' now defaults to 't' since
- 'sas-indent-line' is still broken, i.e. 'TAB' is now bound to
- 'ess-sas-tab-to-tab-stop' by default
-
- Changes/Bug Fixes in 12.09-2:
- * ESS: new 'ess-switch-to-end-of-proc-buffer' variable that controls
- whether 'C-c C-z' switches to the end of process buffer. The
- default is 't'. You can use prefix argument to 'C-c C-z' to toggle
- this variable.
- * ESS: fix in 'ess-eval-linewise' that was causing emacs to hang
- during R debugging with 'ess-eval-visibly' equal to 't'.
- * ESS: fix in 'ess-eval-linewise' that was causing emacs to recenter
- the prompt in visible window
- * ESS[tracebug]: A better handling of "Selection" prompts and debug
- related singlekey commands.
- * ESS: fix a bug in 'ess-switch-process' that was causing '*new*'
- selection to fail.
- * ESS[R]: Solve missing 'ess-local-process-name' bug in R-dired.
- * ESS[SWV]: 'ess-swv-PDF' doesn't ask for a command to run if there
- is only one command in 'ess-swv-pdflatex-commands'.
- * ESS[SWV]: 'ess-swv-weave' gained an universal argument to allow for
- an interactive choice between available weavers (sweave, knitr).
- * ESS: 'ess-eval-*-and-step' functions go to next empty line at eob,
- instead of staying at the last line.
-
- Changes/New Features in 12.09-1:
- * ESS _Breaking Changes in Keys_:
-
- - New keymaps: 'ess-doc-map' bound to 'C-c C-d'; 'ess-extra-map'
- bound to 'C-c C-e'; 'ess-dump-object-into-edit-buffer' was
- moved on 'C-c C-e C-d'
- - roxygen map was moved on 'C-c C-o' and 'ess-roxy-update-entry'
- now resides on 'C-c C-o C-o'
- - ess-handy-commands is not bound anymore
- - 'ess-dev-map' (including 'ess-tracebug' and 'ess-developer')
- moved on 'C-c C-t'
- - 'C-c C-y' is deprecated in favor of 'C-c C-z C-z'
- * ESS[R] new command 'ess-describe-object-at-point' bound to 'C-c C-d
- C-e' (repeat 'C-e' or 'e' to cycle). It was inspired by Erik
- Iverson's 'ess-R-object-tooltip'. Customize
- 'ess-describe-at-point-method' to use tooltip instead of an
- electric buffer.
- * ESS: New command 'ess-build-tags-for-directory' bound to 'C-c C-e
- C-t' for building dialect specific tag tables. After building tags
- use 'M-.' to navigate to function and objects definitions. By
- default 'C-c C-e C-t' builds tags based on imenu regular
- expressions and also include other common languages '.c, .o, .cpp'
- etc. But it relies on external 'find' and 'etags' commands. If
- 'ess-build-tags-command' is defined (for 'R'), the inferior process
- is asked to build tags instead.
- * ESS: 'ess-switch-process' offers '*new*' alternative to start a new
- process instead of switching to one of the currently running
- processes.
- * ESS: Switching between processes ('C-c C-s') uses buffer names
- instead of the internal process names. Use 'M-x rename-buffer'
- command to conveniently rename your process buffers.
- * ESS: Process buffers can be automatically named on process creation
- according to user specified scheme. Default schemes are *proc*,
- *proc:dir* and *proc:abbr-long-dir* where 'proc' stands for the
- internal process name and 'dir' stands for the directory where the
- process was started in. The default is *proc*. For customization
- see 'ess-gen-proc-buffer-name-function'.
- * ESS: 'ess-eval-visibly-p' is deprecated in favor of
- 'ess-eval-visibly'.
- * ESS: New evaluation pattern 'nowait'. In addition to old 'nil' and
- 't' values, 'ess-eval-visibly' accepts 'nowait' for a visible
- evaluation with no waiting for the process. See 'ess-eval-visibly'
- for details on evaluation patterns.
- * ESS: New "Process" menu entry with process related commands and
- configuration
- * iESS: Process buffer is now automatically shown on errors
- * ESS: New 'ess-switch-to-inferior-or-script-buffer' command bound to
- 'C-c C-z' in both script and process buffers. If invoked form
- process buffer it switches to the most recent buffer of the same
- dialect. It is a single key command.
- * ESSR-help: On multiple help pages with the same name, 'C-c C-v' now
- asks for user resolution directly in emacs.
- * ESS[R] ess-roxy: new variable 'ess-roxy-re' for fontification of
- cases where the number of leading '#' differs from 'ess-roxy-str'.
- * ESS[R] Eldoc was considerably enhanced. It now finds hidden
- default S3 methods and displays non-default methods' arguments
- after trailing ||.
- * ESS[R]: New 'ess-display-demos' command bound to 'C-c C-d o' and
- 'C-c C-d C-o'
- * ESS: New 'ess-help-web-search' command bound to 'C-c C-d w' and
- 'C-c C-d C-w' to facilitate interactive search of web resources.
- Implemented for 'R', 'Stata' and 'Julia'. See also
- 'ess-help-web-search-command'.
- * ESS: ess-pdf-viewer-pref accepts now command line arguments
- * ESS[Rnw]: Add knitr support. Customize 'ess-swv-processor' for the
- default processor.
- * ESS[Rnw]: More thorough renaming of remaining 'noweb-*' to
- 'ess-noweb-*'.
- * ESS[Rnw] new commands 'ess-eval-chunk-and-step' and
- 'ess-eval-chunk' bound to 'M-n C-c' and 'M-n C-M-x' to mirror
- standard ess commands in C-c map.
- * ESS[R] Auto-completion: new variable 'ess-ac-R-argument-suffix' to
- customize the insertion of trailing "=". Defaults to " = ".
- * ESS[Julia]: Added index, apropos and web-search to julia.
- * ESS help: More evaluation commands were added to ess-help mode
- ('C-c C-c', 'C-M-x' etc)
-
- Bug Fixes in 12.09-1:
- * iESShelp: Multiple help pages with the same name are properly
- handled on 'C-c C-v'
- * iESSremote: Evaluation with ESS remote no longer freezes emacs.
- * iESS: 'comint-previous-prompt' 'C-c C-p' no longer stops on
- secondary prompt "+".
- * iESS[R], iESS(Sqpe) [S] on Windows: The 'options("editor")' is now
- initialized to 'emacsclient' instead of the previous 'gnuclient'.
- The user may need to add the line '(server-start)' to the emacs
- initialization file. 'emacsclient' has been included with emacs
- since GNU Emacs 22.1.
- * ESS[Rnw] Fixed "connection to R" bug (in 12.09 only).
- * ESS[Rnw] Explicit 'ess-swv-stangle' and 'ess-swv-sweave' functions.
- * ESS[Rnw] Fixed completion and smart underscore problems cause by
- unmatched "\"'
- * ESS[R] is more careful with the 'R' code injection. It now happens
- only once at the start of the session.
- * ESS[R]: Fixed auto-scrolling the comint buffer on evaluation.
- * ESS[Julia]: Solve several indentation and word navigation problems.
- * ESS[Julia]: Help system works again.
-
- Changes/New Features in 12.09:
-
- * Due to XEmacs lacking some features that ESS requires, ESS support
- of XEmacs ends with ESS 12.04-4. This decision will be re-visited
- in the future as XEmacs continues to sync with GNU Emacs.
-
- * ESS[R]: On Windows, there is now a new customizable variable
- (currently called 'ess-directory-containing-R') to tell ESS where
- to look for the 'Rterm.exe' executables. The name of the variable
- and the values it can take are both in beta and subject to change.
- Prior to this variable, ESS searched only in the default
- installation directory. Setting this variable now tells ESS how to
- find 'Rterm.exe' executables when they are installed somewhere
- else.
-
- * ESS[julia]: _new_ mode for editing julia code ('*.jl'). Start with
- 'M-x julia'.
-
- Full interaction interface, imenu and basic error referencing are
- available.
-
- * ESS[R] noweb: 'noweb-mode' and 'noweb-font-lock-mode' have been
- renamed to 'ess-noweb-mode' and 'ess-noweb-font-lock-mode' to avoid
- conflicts with the "real" 'noweb-mode'.
-
- * ESS[R] noweb: The long standing font-lock bug has been solved in
- 'ess-noweb' interface.
-
- * ESS: Basic evaluation keys are now bound to 'ess-eval-region-*-'
- functions:
-
- - 'C-M-x' is bound to 'ess-eval-region-or-function-or-paragraph'
- - 'C-c C-c' is bound to
- 'ess-eval-region-or-function-or-paragraph-and-step'
- - 'C-RET' is bound to 'ess-eval-region-or-line-and-step'
-
- Each of these functions first evaluates the region whenever the
- region is active.
-
- * ESS: 'C-M-a'/'C-M-e' now step to beginning/end of paragraph if no
- function has been detected.
-
- * ESS: 'ess-eval-*-and-step' family of functions are now smarter, and
- don't step to end of buffer or end of chunk code ('@') when at the
- end of the code.
-
- * ESS: 'ess-handy-commands' function is bound to 'C-c h'
-
- * ESS: ESS is now _blinking_ the evaluated region. Set
- 'ess-blink-region' to nil to deactivate; 'ess-blink-delay' gives
- the duration of the blink. Evaluated region is "blinked" in
- 'highlight' face.
-
- * ESS[R-help] New key 'a' for "apropos()" in help buffers. Also
- available through 'C-c h'.
-
- * ESS[R-help] All R commands of type foo?bar and foo??bar are
- recognized and redirected into appropriate *ESS-help* buffers.
-
- * ESS[R]: New customization interface for _font-lock_.
-
- ESS font-lock operates with predefined keywords. Default keywords
- are listed in 'ess-R-font-lock-keywords' and
- 'inferior-R-font-lock-keywords', which see. The user can easily
- customize those by adding new keywords. These variables can also
- be interactively accessed and saved through 'ESS/Font-lock'
- submenu.
-
- Several new fontification keywords have been added. Most notably
- the keywords for highlighting of function calls, numbers and
- operators.
-
- * ESS[R]: auto-complete is now activated by default whenever
- auto-complete package is detected. Set 'ess-use-auto-complete' to
- nil to deactivate.
- * ESS[R]: R AC sources are no longer auto-starting at 0 characters
- but at the default 'ac-auto-start' characters.
- * ESS no longer redefines default ac-sources, but only appends
- 'ac-source-filename' to it.
- * ESS: 'ac-source-R' now concatenates " = " to function arguments.
-
- * ESS: Menus for ESS and iESS have been reorganized and enriched with
- _Tracebug_ and _Developer_ submenus.
-
- * ESS[R]: 'ess-developer' and 'ess-tracebug' commands are available
- by default in 'ess-dev-map' which is bound to 'C-c d' in ESS and
- iESS maps.
-
- * ESS[R]: 'eldoc' truncates long lines whenever
- 'eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p' is non-nil (the default). Set
- this variable to t if you insist on multiline eldoc. See also
- 'ess-eldoc-abbreviation-style'.
-
- * ESS[R]: completion code pre-caches arguments of heavy generics such
- as 'plot' and 'print' to eliminated the undesirable delay on first
- request.
-
- * iESS: Prompts in inferior buffers are now highlighted uniformly
- with 'comint-highlight-prompt' face.
-
- * ESS[R]: R process no longer wait for the completion of input in
- inferior buffer. Thus, long running commands like 'Sys.sleep(5)'
- no longer stall emacs.
-
- * ESS: [R, S, Stata, Julia] have specialized 'ess-X-post-run-hook's,
- which are run at the end of subprocess initialization.
-
- * ESS[Stata]: All interactive evaluation commands work as expected.
- On-line comments are removed before the evaluation and multiline
- comments are skipped on 'C-c C-c' and other interactive commands.
-
- * ESS no longer auto-connects to a subprocess with a different
- dialect than the current buffer's one.
-
- * ESS: 'ess-arg-function-offset-new-line' is now a list for all the
- ESS indentation styles, which results in the following indentation
- after an open "(":
-
- a <- some.function(other.function(
- arg1,
- arg2)
-
- * ESS[SAS]: Improved MS RTF support for GNU Emacs; try
- 'ess-sas-rtf-portrait' and 'ess-sas-rtf-landscape'.

- * ESS: basic support for package.el compatibility
- * ESS[R]: correct indentation of & and | continuation lines
- * 'M-x ess-version' shows the svn revision even after 'make install'
- * ESS[SAS]: improved XEmacs support
- * iESS[R]: better finding of previous prompt
- * ESS[Stata]: adjusted prompt for mata mode
- * ESS[R]: resolved name clashes with cl.el
- * ESS[R]: removed dependence on obsolete package assoc
- * New 'make' target 'lisp', to build the lisp-only part, i.e., not
- building the docs.
-
- Changes/New Features in 12.04-1:
- * iESS[Stata]: New interactive help invocation.
- * iESS[Stata]: New custom variable 'inferior-STA-start-file'.
- * iESS[Stata]: 'inferior-STA-program-name' is now "stata" and can be
- customized.
- * ESS[Stata] New sections in stata help files Syntax('s-S'),
- Remarks('r'), Title('t').
-
- Bug Fixes in 12.04-1:
- * ESS[R]: Better 'ess-tracebug' error handling.
- * ESS[R]: Corrected 'ess-eldoc' help string filtering and improved
- argument caching.
- * ESS[R]: Indentation of non-block if/else/for/while lines fixed.
- * 'M-x ess-version' should work better.
- * ESS: Filename completion now again works inside strings.
- * iESS[Stata]: Fixed prompt detection issue.
- * ESS[Rd]: R is autostarted also from here, when needed.
-
- Changes/New Features in 12.04:
- * ESS: Reverting new behavior of 12.03, 'TAB' in 'ess-mode' no longer
- completes by default. If you want smart 'TAB' completion in R and
- S scripts, similarly to iESS behavior, set the variable
- 'ess-tab-complete-in-script' to 't'. Also see
- 'ess-first-tab-never-complete' for how to customize where first
- 'TAB' is allowed to complete.
- * ESS: completion is consistently bound to 'M-TAB' (aka 'M-C-i') in
- both Emacs23 and Emacs24.
- * ESS: The variable 'ess-arg-function-offset-new-line' introduced in
- ESS(12.03) now accepts a list with the first element a number to
- indicate that the offset should be computed from the indent of the
- previous line. For example setting it to '(2) results in:
-
- a <- some.function(
- arg1,
- arg2)
-
- Changes/New Features in 12.03:
- * ESS indentation: new offset variable
- 'ess-arg-function-offset-new-line' controlling for the indentation
- of lines immediately following open '('. This is useful to shift
- backwards function arguments after a long function call expression:
-
- a <- some.function(
- arg1,
- arg2)
-
- instead of the old
-
- a <- some.function(
- arg1,
- arg2)
-
- If '(' is not followed by new line the behavior is unchanged:
-
- a <- some.function(arg1,
- arg2)
-
- This variable should be set as part of indentation style lists, or
- in ess-mode hook.
- * ESS[R]: 'C-c .' sets (indentation) style.
- * ESS: In ESS buffers 'yank'('C-y') command accepts double argument
- 'C-u C-u' to paste commands only. It deletes any lines not
- beginning with a prompt, and then removes the prompt from those
- lines that remain. Useful to paste code from emails,
- documentation, inferior ESS buffers or transcript files.
- * Documentation: ESS user manual has been rearranged and completed
- with several new chapters and sections to reflect newly added
- features ("Completion", "Developing with ESS", "ESS tracebug", "ESS
- developer", "ESS ElDoc", "IDO Completion" and "Evaluating Code")
- * RefCard: Reference card was updated to include new features.
- * Eldoc: Eldoc was rewritten and is activated by default. See
- 'ess-use-eldoc', 'ess-eldoc-show-on-symbol',
- 'ess-eldoc-abbreviation-style' variables for how to change the
- default behavior. _Note:_ 'skeleton-pair-insert-maybe' prohibits
- eldoc display, on '(' insertion.
- * ESS[R]: Eldoc shows arguments of a generic function whenever found.
- * ESS: 'TAB' in 'ess-mode' now indents and completes, if there is
- nothing to indent. Set 'ess-first-tab-never-completes-p' to 't' to
- make 'TAB' never complete on first invocation. Completion
- mechanism is similar to the completion in the 'inferior-ess-mode' -
- a filename expansion is tried, if not found ESS completes the
- symbol by querying the process.
- * ESS for emacs version 24 or higher: ESS is fully compatible with
- the emacs 24 completion scheme, i.e. all the completion is done by
- 'completion-at-point'. Also in accordance with emacs conventions,
- ESS doesn't bind 'M-TAB' for emacs 24 or higher. 'M-TAB' calls the
- default 'complete-symbol'.
-
- * ESS[R]: Out of the box integration with 'Auto Completion' mode
- http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete
- (http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete) . Three AC sources
- 'ac-source-R-args', 'ac-source-R-objects' and 'ac-source-R' are
- provided. The last one combines the previous two and makes them
- play nicely together. Set 'ess-use-auto-complete' to 't' to start
- using it. Refer to documentation string of 'ac-use-auto-complete'
- for further information.
- * ESS[R]: New unified and fast argument completion system, comprised
- of 'ess-funname.start', 'ess-function-arguments',
- 'ess-get-object-at-point'. Eldoc and auto-completion integration
- are using this system.
- * ESS: 'ess-switch-to-end-of-ESS'('C-c C-z'), and
- 'ess-switch-to-ESS'('C-c C-y'): Automatically start the process
- whenever needed.
- * ESS[R]: 'roxy' knows about previewing text version of the
- documentation. Bound to 'C-c C-e t'.
- * ESS[R]: Solved the "nil filename" bug in roxygen support.
- * ESS[R]: 'ess-tracebug' is now part of ESS:
-
- New Features:
-
- - Source injection: Tracebug now can inject source references on
- the fly during code evaluation, i.e. you don't have to source
- your file, but just evaluate your code in normal fashion.
- Variable 'ess-tracebug-inject-source-p' controls this behavior
- - if t, always inject source reference, if ''function', inject
- only for functions (this is the default), if 'nil', never
- inject.
-
- During the source injection the value of 'ess-eval-visibly' is
- ignored.
- - Org-mode support: Visual debugger is now aware of the
- temporary org source editing buffer ('C-c '') and jumps
- through this buffers if still alive, or in original org buffer
- otherwise.
- - New keys in watch mode: '?' and 'd'
- - Two new hooks: ess-tracebug-enter-hook and
- ess-tracebug-exit-hook
-
- * ESS[R]: New package 'ess-developer' to evaluate 'R' code directly
- in the package environment and namespace. It can be toggled on and
- off with 'C-c d t'. When 'ess-developer' is on all ESS evaluation
- commands are redefined to evaluate code in appropriate
- environments. Add package names to the list of your development
- packages with 'C-d a', and remove with 'C-d r'. Source the current
- file with 'C-d s'.Evaluation function which depend on
- '`ess-eval-region'' ask for the package to source the code into,
- 'ess-eval-function' and alternatives search for the function name
- in the development packages' environment and namespace and insert
- the definition accordingly. See the documentation section
- "Developing with ESS/ESS developer" for more details.
-
- * ESS[R] help system:
-
- New Features:
-
- - 'q' quits window instead of calling
- 'ess-switch-to-end-of-ESS'. This is consistent with emacs
- behavior help and other special buffers (_breaking change_).
- - 'k' kills window without asking for the name (pointed by Sam
- Steingold)
- - Help map inherits from 'special-mode-map' as sugested by Sam
- Steingold.
- - Package index: new function 'ess-display-index' bound to 'i'
- in help mode map.
- - Package vignettes: new function 'ess-display-vignettes' bound
- to 'v' in help mode map.
- - Display help in HTML browser: new function
- 'ess-display-help-in-browser' bound to 'w' in help mode map.
- It depends on 'R''s 'browser' option.
- - New custom variable 'ess-help-pop-to-buffer': if non-nil ESS
- help buffers are given focus on display. The default is 't'
- (_breaking change_).
- - New menu entries for the above functions.
- - Bogus help buffers are no longer generated by default, i.e.
- buffers of the form "No documentation for 'foo' in specified
- packages and libraries: you could try '??foo' ".
- 'ess-help-kill-bogus-buffers' now defaults to 't'. Beware,
- there may be instances where the default is unsatisfactory
- such as debugging and/or during R development. Thanks to Ross
- Boylan for making the suggestion, Sam Steingold for reminding
- us of this variable and Martin Maechler for the warning.
- * ESS now uses 'IDO' completing read functionality for all the
- interactive requests. It uses ido completion mechanism whenever
- available, and falls back on classical completing-read otherwise.
- You can set 'ess-use-ido' to nil if you don't want the IDO
- completion. See the documentation string of 'ess-use-ido' for more
- information about 'IDO' and ESS configuration.
-
- * ESS[S]: "','" is bound to ess-smart-comma: If comma is invoked at
- the process marker of an ESS inferior buffer, request and execute a
- command from '`ess-handy-commands'' list. If
- 'ess-R-smart-operators' is t '`ess-smart-comma' also inserts " "
- after comma.
- * ESS[S], notably 'R': Variable '`ess-handy-commands'' stores an
- alist of useful commands which are called by 'ess-smart-comma' in
- the inferior buffer.
-
- Currently containing:
-
- change-directory
- 'ess-change-directory'
- help-index
- 'ess-display-index'
- help-object
- 'ess-display-help-on-object'
- vignettes
- 'ess-display-vignettes'
- objects[ls]
- 'ess-execute-objects'
- search
- 'ess-execute-search'
- set-width
- 'ess-execute-screen-options'
- install.packages
- 'ess-install.packages'
- library
- 'ess-library'
- setRepos
- 'ess-setRepositories'
- sos
- 'ess-sos'
-
- Handy commands: 'ess-library', 'ess-install.packages', etc - ask
- for item with completion and execute the correspond command.
- 'ess-sos' is a interface to 'findFn' function in package 'sos'. If
- package 'sos' is not found, ask user for interactive install.
-
- * ESS: New dynamic mode line indicator: Process status is
- automatically reflected in all mode-lines of associated with the
- process buffers. Particularly useful for displaying debug status
- of 'ess-tracebug' and developer status of 'ess-developer' in all
- associated buffers.
-
- * ESS: New 'ess-completing-read' mechanism: ESS uses 'ido'
- completions whenever possible. Variable 'ess-use-ido' controls
- whether to use ido completion or not. Active by default.
-
- * ESS now supports comint fields for output and input detection.
- This feature is not used by default, but might be useful in the
- future.
-
- * ESS[S]: New custom variable 'inferior-ess-S-prompt' to customize
- prompt detection regular expression in the inferior ESS buffers.
- You can customize this variable to enhance comint navigation
- ('comint-previous-prompt' and 'comint-next-prompt') the inferior
- buffers.
-
- * ESS[R]: Internal 'R' completion retrieval
- ('ess-R-complete-object-name') was rewritten and is faster now.
-
- * ESS is using process plist to store process specific variables, as
- opposed to buffer local variables as it was using before. The use
- of buffer local variables to store process variables is
- discouraged.
-
- * ESS: new functions to manipulate process plists: 'ess-process-get'
- and 'ess-process-set'.
-
- * ESS: Internal process waiting mechanism was completely rewritten.
- ESS no more relies on prompt regular expressions for the prompt
- detection. The only requirement on the primary process prompt is
- to end in '> '. This could be overwritten by setting
- 'inferor-ess-primary-prompt'.
-
- * ESS[S], notably 'R': Saved command history: ESS-HISTORY-FILE now
- accepts 't' (default), 'nil', or a file name. By setting it to
- 'nil' no command line history is saved anymore.
- ESS-HISTORY-DIRECTORY now allows to have the history all saved in
- one "central" file.
- * ESS[R]: more Roxygen improvements.
- * ESS[R]: 'C-c .' to set (indentation) style.
-
- * ESS[R]: Functions with non-standard names (for example
- 'aaa-bbb:cc') are properly handled by font-lock and evaluation
- routines.
- * ESS[R]:Several regexp bugs (described in etc/R-ESS-bugs.el) were
- fixed in 'ess-get-words-from-vector' and 'ess-command'.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.14:
- * ESS[BUGS/JAGS]: Batch BUGS is back! For recent OpenBUGS versions,
- 3.0.8+, a batch BUGS script is once again available, but for Linux
- only. Therefore, since it seems that BUGS and JAGS must co-exist
- (rather than a transition from BUGS to JAGS), .bug files are now in
- ESS[BUGS] mode and .jag files are in ESS[JAGS] mode. ESS[BUGS] now
- works like ESS[JAGS] rather than the original mode ESS[BUGS] mode
- which was difficult to maintain. Although, ESS[BUGS] appears to
- work, there still may be some features missing as well as bugs.
-
- * ESS[R]: New customizable variable 'ess-swv-plug-into-AUCTeX-p'
- Commands to Sweave current file and LaTeX the result are now
- available to AUCTeX users, if this variable is set to 't'.
-
- * ESS[S]: 'C-c C-c' ('ess-eval-function-or-paragraph-and-step') is
- now skipping over comments as the other paragraph functions do. It
- (and similar functions) should no longer wrongly find 'function()'
- beginnings inside comments or strings.
-
- * ESS[SAS]: improved by better support for GNU Emacs
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.13:
- * ESS[R]: On Windows, for R 2.12.0 and later, the Rterm executables
- (in subdirectories i386 / x64) now are found as well as for earlier
- R versions.
- * ESS[S+]: on Windows, both 32- and 64-bit versions of S+ ("S-PLUS")
- are found now and made available on the menu.
- * ESS[R]: When prompting for a starting directory, the R version is
- (always?) correct now.
- * ESS[R]: on non-Windows platforms, the 'use-dialog-box' variable is
- no longer temporarily changed (to 'nil' for R-x.y.z version
- functions and to 't' for 'R' itself), but rather the user
- customization is obeyed.
- * ESS[R]: more Roxygen improvements.
- * 'Rd-preview-help' now generates preview buffers with navigation
- facilities the same as regular help buffers.
- * ESS: New functions and keys C-c [up] / [down] for evaluating the
- buffer "from beginning till here".
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.12:
- * ESS[SAS] Font-locking: update of PROCs keywords (up to SAS 9.22);
- error/warnings.
- * ESS[R]: Roxygen improvements: S4 classes; also optionally keep
- spaces when filling arguments
- * ESS[Rd]: support new keywords: section-name \subsection plus a
- dozen "new" keywords; should match R 2.12.x now.
- * 'ess-display-help-on-object' ('C-c C-v') now _caches_ the list of
- topics, thus speeding up the improvement feature introduced in 5.9.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.11:
- * Filename completion within buffers now adds only trailing
- characters to complete the filename, rather than expanding to an
- absolute file path. This filename completion is bound to the TAB
- key.
-
- * 'M-n P' in Sweave buffers now prompts for the command to run
- instead of using 'pdflatex' unconditionally, offering completion
- from customizable collection 'ess-swv-pdflatex-commands', the first
- of which is taken as default and that defaults to 'texi2pdf'.
- * 'M-RET' is now also bound in S language (R and S+) buffers to
- 'ess-use-this-dir'. It sends 'setwd(..)' to the S process to set
- the working directory to the one of the source file.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.10:
- * 'M-RET' in *S* buffers is now bound to 'ess-dirs'. This function
- will set Emacs's current directory to be the same as the *S*
- process. This is useful if you use 'setwd()' within a *S* process.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.9:
- * Toolbar: The toolbar now has an icon for starting Splus.
- * Indentation: New documentation and code has been added to make it
- easier to change how ESS indents code. In particular, see
- 'ess-default-style', 'ess-own-style-list' and the documention
- subsection "Changing indentation styles".
- * 'ess-display-help-on-object' ('C-c C-v') now offers completion
- candidates for help file aliases, in addition to object names.
- * Font locking: is now turned on even without 'window-system' is
- 'nil', whenever ESS-FONT-LOCK-MODE is non-nil, i.e., by default.
- * ESS script editing: ess-eval-deactivate-mark default is now t, as
- suggested by Leo Alekseyev and subsequent "unanimous" ESS-help
- discussion.
- * ESS[R]: Editing support for "#!" (Rscript / littler) editing,
- thanks to Jeffrey Arnold.
- * ESS[R]: Now finds all R versions, both 64-bit and 32-bit, on some
- 64-bit Windows machines. Please report back to ess-core success or
- failure on your 64-bit Windows machine.
- * ESS Manual now more visually pleasing;
- <https://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html>
- * ESS[R]: Roxygen on XEmacs no longer font locks for now (as it
- required missing features and hence broke ESS startup, there).
- * ESS[R]: Roxygen has a sub-menu on the [ESS] menu.
- * ESS[R]: Function 'ess-rutils-htmldocs' in 'ess-rutils.el' offers an
- alternative to 'help.start()' for navigating R documentation, using
- the 'browse-url' Emacs function.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.8:
- * ESS[R]: New 'ess-rutils.el' with utilities for listing, loading,
- installing, and updating packages, as well as object manipulation
- (listing, viewing, and deleting). It also provides an alternative
- to 'RSiteSearch()' that uses the 'browse-url' function, so results
- can be viewed in an Emacs web browser.
- * ESS[R]: much more extensive Roxygen interface, via ess-roxy.el from
- Henning Redestig. Ess-roxy supports filling of roxygen fields,
- generation and updating roxygen templates, completion of roxygen
- tags, basic navigation (marking and moving between entries),
- folding using hs-minor-mode and preview of the Rd file.
- * Emacs lisp files have got better names (partly, for now).
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.7:
- * ESS[R]: loading a source file ('C-c C-l') now works in Windows,
- similarly to other platforms; (further; it had accidentally been
- broken in ESS 5.6 on all platforms)
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.6:
- * ESS[R]: help() calls have to differ from old default, with newer
- versions of R; currently via .help.ESS <- function(...) hack.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.4:
- * ESS[SAS]: The long overdue change from 'make-regexp' to
- 'regexp-opt' for font-locking is complete. The new 'regexp-opt' is
- now the default since it is better than the old code in many ways
- (and especially more maintainable). However, there are certainly
- some special cases missed (bug reports and patches welcome!).
- Setting 'ess-sas-run-regexp-opt' to 'nil' will result in the old
- code being used.
- * ESS[BUGS] and ESS[JAGS]: typing '=' now results in '<-'.
- * ESS[R] function arguments "show" '(ess-r-args-show)' now uses the
- new '(tooltip-show-at-point)' contributed by Erik Iverson.
- * Toolbar icons now also work in (beta) Emacs 23.
- * ESS[S]: New function 'ess-change-directory' for setting both emacs'
- current directory and the directory of an *R* or *S* buffer.
- * ESS[S] when transient-mark-mode is true, the mark is now kept,
- rather than deactivated, thanks to a patch from David Reitter.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.11:
- * ESS[SAS]: work around bug in Emacs 22.2 & 22.3 which fails to set
- case-fold fontification automatically.
- * Rd mode: support new keyword 'Rdversion'
- * ESS[R]: now again works with Emacs 21.x
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.10:
- * Fixed noweb-mode bug accidentally introduced into 5.3.9
- * In noweb-mode, e.g., Rnw-mode, electric "<" also inserts closing
- "@". Further, the code chunk boundaries are better kept
- up-to-date, such that code[R] <-> text[LaTeX] minor mode switching
- should happen more reliably.
- * In noweb-mode, fix a buglet in rare [Enter] or [Tab] behavior;
- further, by default disable the former '[[' .. ']]'
- code-protection-when-filling behavior which has been found to be
- buggy.
-
- 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
- Windows to send lines directly from emacs to 'Rgui' is available in
- file 'lisp/essd-rgui.el'. Preliminary documentation is in file
- 'doc/rgui-doc.txt'.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.6:
- * ESS: for XEmacs, using "gnuclient" (without a "-q") works for
- things like fix() after M-x gnuserv-start has been done.
- * ESS[R]: M-x R-newest should now work in more situations on MS
- Windows, e.g., when R has been installed in a non-default
- "ProgramFiles" directory tree. In these cases, there's no need to
- specify the name (and full path) of the R program anymore.
- * ESS[R]: For XEmacs, startup (with new tooltip code) works again.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.5:
- * ESS[R] a new defun is available, 'M-x R-newest', which will start
- the newest version of R that it can find on your system.
- * ESS[R] add Sven Hartenstein's "R function arguments tips"
- functionality, via new file '../lisp/essd-r-args.el'. Note that
- this includes an "electric "("" behavior inside 'R-mode' which is
- _active by default_ and can be customized via
- 'ess-r-args-electric-paren'; i.e., use '(setq
- ess-r-args-electric-paren nil)' to turn it off. Further,
- 'ess-r-args-show-as' allows to switch to the "tooltip" mode.
- * ESS: functions 'ess-get-pdf-viewer' and *-ps-viewer; built on new
- customizable variables 'ess-pdf-viewer-pref' and
- 'ess-ps-viewer-pref'; currently used in 'ess-swv-PDF' and '*-PS'.
- * ESS[R] Improved 'ess-swv-PDF' to run pdf viewer only if pdflatex
- was ok
- * ESS[R] Improved 'ess-swv-weave' to start R automatically if none is
- running.
- * ESS: Do no longer ask _which_ ESS process to use if there is only
- one.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.4:
- * ESS[R] now better work with options(error=recover); and the new
- default of CHM help files on windows.
- * ESS[R] some more cleanup in the "sweave" functions
- * miscellaneous fixes
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.3:
- * ESS[S] fix buglet (5.3.2 only) which left command prompt in
- "execute buffer" and hence help files.
- * new customizable variable 'ess-display-buffer-reuse-frames' set to
- true (which changes default behavior) such that execution or help
- *frames* are reused.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.2:
- * Classic BUGS now supported by '(require 'essd-bugs)' with ESS[BUGS]
- and JAGS by '(require 'essd-jags)' with ESS[JAGS]. But, only one
- of them can be used at a time since they don't play nice together.
- Also, 'C-c C-c' is now bound to the function 'ess-bugs-next-action'
- ('F12' has been retired). And finally, note that 'essl-bug.el' is
- deprecated and the replacement is 'essl-bugs.el'.
- * ESS[R] Improved some of the "Sweave-make" functions (yet scarcely
- documented) in 'ess-swv.el'.
- * ESS[S] No longer mess with .Last.value (nor in other "languages").
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.1:
- * See the docs for 2 ways to install ESS for XEmacs
- 1. by uncommenting the XEmacs part of Section 1 of 'Makeconf' and
- performing 'make install'
- 2. by unpacking either 'ess-5.3.1.tgz' or 'ess-5.3.1.zip' into
- 'PREFIX/lib/xemacs/site-packages' on unix or
- 'PREFIX\XEmacs\site-packages' on windows
- * ESS[R]: fixed bugs so that Rterm.exe can be found by XEmacs
- * ESS[S]: 'ess-toggle-S-assign-key' is slightly changed; in
- particular, the default 'ess-assign-key' is now 'C-x ='.
- * ESS[R]: 'M-x R-site-search' is a new (slightly experimental)
- utility similar to R's 'RSiteSearch(..)' but with the advantage of
- using Emacs' preferred browser, see 'browse-url-browser-function'
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.3.0:
- * ESS[BUGS]: sanely re-format statistical output, '.bog', from
- scientific notation to numbers rounded with 4 decimal places with
- 'M-x ess-bugs-sci-round-to-4-dp'.
- * The keys for navigating among section headings in help buffers
- worked, but only for one language per session; they should now work
- for multiple languages. (They were also broken on Windows
- machines.)
- * ESS[S] long standing buglets in the internal logic for loading lisp
- code on Windows. Particularly fixed behavior in help mode with
- S-plus GUI.
- * 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
- there is more than one window *side-by-side* in the same frame and
- runs in the correct buffer also when there is more than one S
- 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
- bound in the help mode (for evaluating examples).
- * ESS[S] new function 'ess-toggle-S-assign-key' allows to assign the
- " <- " insertion to an arbitrary key.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.2.12:
- * ESS[SAS]: 'M-;' fixed, but the XEmacs function 'comment-dwim' may
- be broken, if so, use 'M-x comment-region' and 'M-x
- uncomment-region' instead; only valid PROCs are fontified which is
- very helpful finding syntax errors (currently supported: BASE, ETS,
- FSP, GRAPH, IML, INSIGHT and STAT); the "feature" where 'F'-keys
- take you to an empty buffer when the requested destination is a
- file that does not exist has been fixed, now the request results in
- a no-op. Further, sas-mode now also works in simple terminals.
- * 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 Info entry and 'dir' handled more effectively for GNU Emacs
- users
- * ESS[SAS]: temporary files created for batch submission of a region
- are now named based on the current file; see 'ess-sas-file-root'
- for details; all 'lag' and 'dif' functions now fontified correctly
- * 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@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@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; "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-toggle-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.)
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.24:
- * The version number is now correct even inside ESS/Emacs
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.23:
- * Minor more Makefile clean up.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.22:
- * Besides info documentation, PDF and HTML documentation are also
- provided (instead of built using "make") and available on the web
- as well; see ESS web page (https://ess.r-project.org/) and StatLib
- (http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/general/ESS/doc)
- * Now that info documentation is available, the README.* files are no
- longer supported. However, they are still distributed for what
- it's worth.
- * ESS is now an XEmacs package! See XEmacs Installation HOWTO
- (https://www.xemacs.org/Install/index.html) for details
- (specifically, items 10-15).
- * ESS[SAS]: more user-friendly enhancements for remote SAS batch jobs
- with Kermit file transfers (LOG and OUTPUT function key features
- now supported). Multiple shells now supported so you can run SAS
- on different computers from different buffers by setting the
- buffer-local variable ess-sas-shell-buffer to unique buffer names.
- * Major re-vamping of Makefile/Makeconf.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.21:
- * ESS[SAS]: info documentation now available!, see ESS->Help for SAS;
- 'F12' opens GSASFILE nearest point for viewing either within emacs,
- when available, or via an external viewer; more syntax highlighting
- keywords; more enhancements for remote SAS batch jobs with Kermit;
- new framework for remote SAS interactive jobs, see ess-remote
- * ESS[S]: info documentation now available!, see ESS->Help for the S
- family
- * Makefile: tag now independent of rel; info files made by
- doc/Makefile and installed in new info sub-directory
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.20:
- * New 'options()$STERM' in the S dialects (S, S-Plus, R). The S
- program can determine the environment in which it is currently
- running. ESS sets the option to 'iESS' or 'ddeESS' when it starts
- an S language process. We recommend other specific values for S
- language processes that ESS does not start.
- * New 'ess-mouse-me' function, assigned to S-mouse-3 by default.
- User may click on a word or region and then choose from the menu to
- display the item, or a summary, or a plot, etc. This feature is
- still under development.
- * GNU Emacs 21.1 is now supported (fixed for S dialects, SAS & BUGS),
- (some from Stephen Eglen).
- * XEmacs 21.x is now supported (fixed w32-using-nt bug)
- * XEmacs on Win (NT) is better supported.
- * Workaround for bug in Sqpe+6 (S-PLUS 6 for Win).
- * should now work even when imenu is not available (for old
- XEmacsen).
- * ESS[SAS]: XEmacs-Imenu fix; 'C-TAB' is globalized along with your
- function-key definitions, if specified; you can specify your SAS
- library definitions outside of autoexec.sas for ess-sas-data-view
- with SAS code placed in the variable ess-sas-data-view-libname,
- also the dataset name is defaulted to the nearest permanent dataset
- to point; Speedbar support now works for permanent datasets, please
- ignore first./last.; new font-locking is now the default with more
- improvements for font-locking PROCs, macro statements, * ; and %* ;
- comments; you can toggle sas-log-mode with 'F10' which will
- font-lock your .log (if it isn't too big); submit remote .sas files
- accessed with ange-ftp, EFS or Tramp (Kermit is experimental) by
- setting ess-sas-submit-method to 'sh; ess-sas-submit-command and
- ess-sas-submit-command-options are buffer-local so you can have
- local file variable sections at the end of your .sas files to
- request different executables or specify special options and the
- local file variables are re-read at submit instead of only at file
- open so that if you make a change it is picked up immediately;
- * ESS[BUGS]: font-lock with 'in' fixed.
- * for STATA: font-lock bug fixed.
- * for Rd mode: 'C-c C-v' and 'switch-process' in menu. further, 'C-c
- C-f' prefix (Rd-font) for inserting or surrounding a word by things
- such as \code{.}, \code{\link{.}}, \emph{.} etc.
- * new functions (ess-directory-function) and (ess-narrow-to-defun)
- ess-directory <-> default-directory logic (Jeff Mincy).
- * Re-organized Makefile and fixed a few bugs.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.19:
- * S+6 now supported (Tony Rossini (Unix) and Rich Heiberger
- (Windows))
- * New BUGS support through ESS[BUGS] mode (Rodney Sparapani)
- Templates assist you in writing .bug and .cmd code (.cmd and .log
- are replaced by .bmd and .bog to avoid emacs extension collisions).
- Substitution" parameters facilitate "automagic" generation of
- data...in" and "init...in" filenames, "const N=" from your data
- file and "monitor()/stats()" commands. Activated by pressing
- 'F12'.
- * Fixes for 'ess-smart-underscore' SAS breakage (Rich Heiberger)
- * You can change between PC and Unix, local and global SAS
- function-key definitions interactively (Rich Heiberger)
- * 'C-Submit' a highlighted region to SAS batch (Rodney Sparapani)
- * New and improved SAS syntax highlighting (Rodney Sparapani) To get
- the new functionality, set ess-sas-run-make-regexp to nil. Also
- available in .log files via 'F10'.
- * Open a permanent SAS dataset for viewing via 'F9' (Rodney
- Sparapani) You must have the library defined in autoexec.sas for it
- to work.
- * User-friendly defaults for 'sas-program',
- 'ess-sas-batch-pre-command' and 'ess-sas-batch-post-command' as
- well Customize support for these and other ESS[SAS] variables
- (Rodney Sparapani)
- * 'ess-sas-suffix-2' now defaults to .dat via 'F11' (Rodney
- Sparapani)
- * Emacs/XEmacs, Unix/Windows issues collectively handled in
- ess-emcs.el
- * defadvice solves problem of missing *ESS* (thanks to Jeff Mincy)
- * Improved manual a bit by including things that were only in
- 'README'.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.18:
- * New 'ess-smart-underscore' function, now assigned to "_" by
- default. Inserts 'ess-S-assign' (customizable " <- "), unless
- inside string and comments where plain "_" is used instead. (MM)
- * Fixes for longstanding interactive SAS breakage (RMH)
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.17:
- * Documentation for Windows Installation (Rich Heiberger)
- * removal of ess-vars, finalization of customize support (in the
- sense that there is no more use of ess-vars, but that we need to
- fix ess-cust) (AJ Rossini)
- * Many small (and large) fixes/contributions (MMaechler)
- * addition of the "S-equal" variable and provide 'M-x
- ess-add-MM-keys' a way to remap "_" to 'ess-S-assign', typically "
- <- ", but customizable. (MMaechler)
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.16:
- * BUG FIXES
- * Better SAS support
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.15:
- * BUG FIXES
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.14:
- * Yet more fixes to SAS mode, (Rich Heiberger and Rodney Sparapani)
- * Customize support (for most Emacsen which support it) (AJRossini)
- * ARC and ViSta support out of the box, and fixes for XLispStat
- (AJRossini)
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.13:
- * Version numbering finally all depending on the ./VERSION file,
- thanks to Martin Maechler.
- * Yet more fixes to SAS mode, thanks to Rich Heiberger.
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.12:
- * Splus 5.1 stabilized, thanks to Martin Maechler, Bill Venables,
- Chuck Taylor, and others.
- * More fixes to SAS mode, thanks to Rodney Sparapani and Rich
- Heiberger.
-

- * More fixes to Stata mode, thanks to Brendan Halpin
- (mailto:brendan@essex.ac.uk).
- * fixed bugs in ESS-elsewhere, thanks to many testers
- * README.SPLUS4WIN has DETAILED instructions for S-PLUS 2000, thanks
- to David Brahm (mailto:brahm@alum.mit.edu).
- * Fixes to SAS mode, thanks to Rodney Sparapani
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.10:

- Changes/New Features in 5.1.8:
- * Bug fixes
- * R documentation mode defaults changed
-
- Changes/New Features in 5.1.2:
- * able to use inferior iESS mode to communicate directly with a
- running S-Plus 4.x process using the Microsoft DDE protocol. We
- use the familiar (from Unix ESS) 'C-c C-n' and related key
- sequences to send lines from the S-mode file to the inferior S
- process. We continue to edit S input files in ESS[S] mode and
- transcripts of previous S sessions in ESS Transcript mode. All
- three modes know the S language, syntax, and indentation patterns
- and provide the syntactic highlighting that eases the programming
- tasks.
