Changes and New Features in 19.04 (unreleased):
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: There is a new menu entry for reloading the R process. It
|
|
is otherwise bound to 'C-c C-e C-r'. Reloading now reuses the same
|
|
process name and start arguments that were used to start the
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
* iESS: Process runners now return the inferior buffer. Note that
|
|
callers of inferior runners should not assume that the current
|
|
buffer has been set to the inferior buffer. Instead, use
|
|
'with-current-buffer' with the return value of the inferior.
|
|
|
|
* iESS[SAS]: The SAS keymap was only set in iESS buffers called
|
|
'*SAS*'. This is now fixed.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Fixed longstanding indentation issues involving '::' and
|
|
':::' operators.
|
|
|
|
* Implement a more reliable check for the process busy state.
|
|
Background actions such as completion and directory synchronization
|
|
should not block the process and should not cause printing of the
|
|
extraneous output to the interpreter.
|
|
|
|
* Activate 'goto-address-mode' for url and email highlighting in
|
|
inferior buffers.
|
|
|
|
* 'smart-underscore' and 'ess-smart-S-assign-key' have been removed.
|
|
Users who liked the previous behavior (i.e. underscore inserting
|
|
"<-") should bind 'ess-insert-assign' to the underscore in their
|
|
Emacs initialization file. For example, '(define-key
|
|
ess-r-mode-map "_" #'ess-insert-assign)' and '(define-key
|
|
inferior-ess-r-mode-map "_" #'ess-insert-assign)' will activate it
|
|
in all ESS R buffers.
|
|
|
|
* ESS major modes are now defined using 'define-derived-mode'. This
|
|
makes ESS major modes respect modern conventions such as having
|
|
<language>-mode-hook and <language>-mode-map. Users are encouraged
|
|
to place customizations under the appropriate mode.
|
|
|
|
* New option ess-auto-width controls setting the width option on
|
|
window changes. Users can change it to 'frame, 'window, or an
|
|
integer. See the documentation for details.
|
|
'ess-auto-width-visible' controls visibility.
|
|
|
|
* ESS now respects 'display-buffer-alist'. Users can now use
|
|
'display-buffer-alist' to manage how and where windows appear. See
|
|
*Note (ess)Controlling buffer display:: for more information and
|
|
examples.
|
|
|
|
* 'ess-roxy-mode' can now be enabled in non-R buffers. This is
|
|
primarily intended to support roxygen documentation for cpp
|
|
buffers. Preview functionality is not supported outside R buffers.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: DESCRIPTION files now open in 'conf-colon-mode'.
|
|
|
|
* 'ess-style' now has effects when set as a file or directory local
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
* 'ess-default-style' is now obsolete, use 'ess-style' instead.
|
|
|
|
* Options for 'ess-gen-proc-buffer-name-function' have been renamed.
|
|
ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:projectile-or-simple was renamed to
|
|
ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:project-or-simple and
|
|
ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:projectile-or-directory was renamed to
|
|
ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:project-or-directory. As the name
|
|
suggests, these now rely on project.el (included with Emacs) rather
|
|
than projectile.el, which is a third-party package.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: devtools commands ask about saving modified buffers before
|
|
running. Users can disable the questioning with
|
|
'ess-save-silently'.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R] help pages now provide links to other help topics. This is
|
|
similar with what you would see with, for example
|
|
'options(help_type = ``html'')' but works with the plain-text
|
|
version as well. This only works with 'options(useFancyQuotes =
|
|
TRUE)' (the default).
|
|
|
|
* 'ess-rdired' buffers now derive from tabulated-list-mode. They
|
|
should look better and be a bit faster overall. The size column
|
|
now displays object sizes in bytes.
|
|
|
|
* 'ess-rdired' buffers now auto-update. The frequency is governed by
|
|
the new option 'ess-rdired-auto-update-interval'.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: 'electric-layout-mode' is now supported. This
|
|
automatically inserts a newline after an opening curly brace in R
|
|
buffers. To enable it, customize 'ess-r-mode-hook'.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: imenu now supports assignment with the equals sign.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[Rd]: Rd no longer writes abbrevs to user's abbrev file.
|
|
|
|
* ESS removed support for many unused languages. This includes old
|
|
versions of S+, ARC, OMG, VST, and XLS.
|
|
|
|
The following have been made obsolete or removed, see their
|
|
documentation for more detail:
|
|
|
|
* Libraries for literate data analysis are obsolete and not loaded by
|
|
default. This includes 'ess-noweb', 'ess-swv', and related
|
|
functionality like 'Rnw-mode'. Users are encouraged to switch to
|
|
one of several other packages that deal with these modes. For
|
|
example, polymode <https://github.com/polymode/poly-R/>,
|
|
<https://polymode.github.io/>, or markdown-mode with edit-indirect
|
|
<https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode>.
|
|
|
|
* Support for 'auto-complete' is obsolete. The 'auto-complete'
|
|
package is unmaintained and so ESS support is now obsolete. Users
|
|
are encouraged to switch to 'company-mode' instead.
|
|
|
|
* User options for controlling display of buffers. This includes
|
|
'ess-show-buffer-action', 'inferior-ess-same-window',
|
|
'inferior-ess-own-frame', and 'inferior-ess-frame-alist'. See
|
|
above about ESS respecting 'display-buffer-alist'.
|
|
|
|
* Variables 'ess-tab-always-indent' and 'ess-tab-complete-in-script'.
|
|
Use the Emacs-wide setting of 'tab-always-indent' instead.
|
|
|
|
* 'inferior-ess-*-start-file' variables. All modes except Stata did
|
|
not respect customization of this variable. In order to load a
|
|
file on startup, you should put a function on
|
|
'ess-*-post-run-hook'.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes in 18.10.3:
|
|
* More 'Makefile' fixes, notably installing '*.el's.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes in 18.10.2:
|
|
* ESS[R] Fix namespace evaluation in non-installed packages.
|
|
Evaluation is directed into GlobalEnv as originally intended.
|
|
* 'Makefile' fixes, notably for 'make install' and including full
|
|
docs in the tarballs.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes in 18.10-1:
|
|
* New functions 'ess-eval-line-visibly-and-step' ('C-c C-n' and
|
|
'ess-eval-region-or-line-visibly-and-step' ('C-RET') which behave
|
|
as the old versions of 'ess-eval-line-and-step' and
|
|
'ess-eval-region-or-line-and-step'.
|
|
|
|
Changes and New Features in 18.10:
|
|
|
|
* This is the last release to support Emacs older than 25.1. Going
|
|
forward, only GNU Emacs 25.1 and newer will be supported. Soon
|
|
after this release, support for older Emacs versions will be
|
|
dropped from the git master branch. Note that MELPA uses the git
|
|
master branch to produce ESS snapshots, so if you are using Emacs <
|
|
25.1 from MELPA and are unable to upgrade, you should switch to
|
|
MELPA-stable.
|
|
|
|
* ESS now displays the language dialect in the mode-line. So, for
|
|
example, R buffers will now show ESS[R] rather than ESS[S].
|
|
|
|
* The ESS manual has been updated and revised.
|
|
|
|
* The ESS initialization process has been further streamlined. If
|
|
you update the autoloads (which installation from 'package-install'
|
|
does), you should not need to '(require 'ess-site)' at all, as
|
|
autoloads should automatically load ESS when it is needed (e.g.
|
|
the first time an R buffer is opened). In order to defer loading
|
|
your ESS config, you may want to do something like
|
|
'(with-require-after-load "ess" <ess-config-here>)' in your Emacs
|
|
init file. Users of the popular 'use-package' Emacs package can
|
|
now do '(use-package ess :defer t)' to take advantage of this
|
|
behavior. *Note (ess)Activating and Loading ESS:: for more
|
|
information on this feature.
|
|
|
|
* ESS now respects Emacs conventions for keybindings. This means
|
|
that The 'C-c [letter]' bindings have been removed. This affects
|
|
'C-c h', which was bound to 'ess-eval-line-and-step-invisibly' in
|
|
'sas-mode-local-map'; 'C-c f', which was bound to
|
|
'ess-insert-function-outline' in 'ess-add-MM-keys'; and 'C-c h',
|
|
which was bound to 'ess-handy-commands' in 'Rd-mode-map',
|
|
'ess-noweb-minor-mode-map', and 'ess-help-mode-map'
|
|
|
|
* Functions 'ess-eval-line-and-step' and
|
|
'ess-eval-region-or-line-and-step' now behave consistently with
|
|
other evaluation function inside a package.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: 'ess-r-package-use-dir' now works with any mode. This sets
|
|
the working directory to the root of the current package including
|
|
for example C or C++ files within '/src').
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Long + + prompts in the inferior no longer offset output.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: New option 'strip' for 'inferior-ess-replace-long+'. This
|
|
strips the entire + + sequence.
|
|
|
|
* ESS modes now inherit from 'prog-mode'. In the next release, ESS
|
|
modes will use 'define-derived-mode' so that each mode will have
|
|
(for example) its own hooks and keymaps.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Supports flymake in R buffers for Emacs 26 and newer.
|
|
Users need to install the 'lintr' package to use it. Customizable
|
|
options include 'ess-use-flymake', 'ess-r-flymake-linters', and
|
|
'ess-r-flymake-lintr-cache'.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Gained support for xref in Emacs 25+. *Note (emacs)Xref::
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: The startup screen is cleaner. It also displays the
|
|
startup directory with an explicit 'setwd()'.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Changing the working directory is now always reflected in
|
|
the process buffer.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: 'Makevars' files open with 'makefile-mode'.
|
|
|
|
* New variable 'ess-write-to-dribble'. This allows users to disable
|
|
the dribble ('*ESS*') buffer if they wish.
|
|
|
|
* All of the '*-program-name' variables have been renamed to
|
|
'*-program'. Users who previously customized e.g.
|
|
'inferior-ess-R-program-name' will need to update their
|
|
customization to 'inferior-ess-R-program'. These variables are
|
|
treated as risky variables.
|
|
|
|
* 'ess-smart-S-assign' was renamed to 'ess-insert-assign'. It
|
|
provides similar functionality but for any keybinding, not just
|
|
'_'. For instance if you bind it to ';', repeated invocations
|
|
cycle through between assignment and inserting ';'.
|
|
|
|
* 'C-c C-=' is now bound to 'ess-cycle-assign' by default. See the
|
|
documentation for details. New user customization option
|
|
'ess-assign-list' controls which assignment operators are cycled.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R] In remote sessions, the ESSR package is now fetched from
|
|
GitHub.
|
|
|
|
* Commands that send the region to the inferior process now deal with
|
|
rectangular regions. See the documentation of 'ess-eval-region'
|
|
for details. This only works on Emacs 25.1 and newer.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Improvements to interacting with iESS in non-R files.
|
|
Interaction with inferior process in non-R files within packages
|
|
(for instance C or C++ files) has been improved. This is a work in
|
|
progress.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Changing the working directory is now always reflected in
|
|
the process buffer.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[JAGS]: *.jog and *.jmd files no longer automatically open in
|
|
JAGS mode.
|
|
|
|
Many improvements to fontification:
|
|
|
|
* Improved customization for faces. ESS now provides custom faces
|
|
for (nearly) all faces used and places face customization options
|
|
into their own group. Users can customize these options using 'M-x
|
|
customize-group RET ess-faces'.
|
|
|
|
* Many new keywords were added to 'ess-R-keywords' and
|
|
'ess-R-modifiers'. See the documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: 'in' is now only fontified when inside a 'for' construct.
|
|
This avoids spurious fontification, especially in the output buffer
|
|
where 'in' is a common English word.
|
|
|
|
* ESS: Font-lock keywords are now generated lazily. That means you
|
|
can now add or remove keywords from variables like 'ess-R-keywords'
|
|
in your Emacs configuration file after loading ESS (i.e. in the
|
|
':config' section for 'use-package' users).
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Fontification of roxygen '@param' keywords now supports
|
|
comma-separated parameters.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Certain keywords are only fontified if followed by a
|
|
parenthesis. Function-like keywords such as 'if ()' or 'stop()'
|
|
are no longer fontified as keyword if not followed by an opening
|
|
parenthesis. The same holds for search path modifiers like
|
|
'library()' or 'require()'.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Fixed fontification toggling. Especially certain syntactic
|
|
elements such as '%op%' operators and backquoted function
|
|
definitions.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: 'ess-font-lock-toggle-keyword' can be called interactively.
|
|
This command asks with completion for a font-lock group to toggle.
|
|
This functionality is equivalent to the font-lock menu.
|
|
|
|
Notable bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
* 'prettify-symbols-mode' no longer breaks indentation. This is
|
|
accomplished by having the pretty symbols occupy the same number of
|
|
characters as their non-pretty cousins. You may customize the new
|
|
variable 'ess-r-prettify-symbols' to control this behavior.
|
|
|
|
* ESS: Inferior process buffers are now always displayed on startup.
|
|
Additionally, they don't hang Emacs on failures.
|
|
|
|
Obsolete libraries, functions, and variables:
|
|
|
|
* The 'ess-r-args.el' library has been obsoleted and will be removed
|
|
in the next release. Use 'eldoc-mode' instead, which is on by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
* Functions and options dealing with the smart assign key are
|
|
obsolete. The following functions have been made obsolete and will
|
|
be removed in the next release of ESS: 'ess-smart-S-assign',
|
|
'ess-toggle-S-assign', 'ess-toggle-S-assign-key',
|
|
'ess-disable-smart-S-assign'.
|
|
|
|
The variable 'ess-smart-S-assign-key' is now deprecated and will be
|
|
removed in the next release. If you would like to continue using
|
|
'_' for inserting assign in future releases, please bind
|
|
'ess-insert-assign' in 'ess-mode-map' the normal way.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[S]: Variable 'ess-s-versions-list' is obsolete and ignored.
|
|
Use 'ess-s-versions' instead. You may pass arguments by starting
|
|
the inferior process with the universal argument.
|
|
|
|
Changes and New Features in 17.11:
|
|
|
|
* The ESS initialization process has been streamlined. You can now
|
|
load the R and Stata modes independently from the rest of ESS. Just
|
|
put '(require 'ess-r-mode)' or '(require 'ess-stata-mode)' in your
|
|
init file. This is for experienced Emacs users as this requires
|
|
setting up autoloads for '.R' files manually. We will keep
|
|
maintaining 'ess-site' for easy loading of all ESS features.
|
|
|
|
* Reloading and quitting the process is now more robust. If no
|
|
process is attached, ESS now switches automatically to one
|
|
(prompting you for selection if there are several running).
|
|
Reloading and quitting will now work during a debug session or when
|
|
R is prompting for input (for instance after a crash). Finally,
|
|
the window configuration is saved and restored after reloading to
|
|
prevent the buffer of the new process from capturing the cursor.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: New command 'ess-r-package-use-dir'. It sets the working
|
|
directory of the current process to the current package directory.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R] Lookup for references in inferior buffers has been improved.
|
|
New variable 'ess-r-package-source-roots' contains package
|
|
sub-directories which are searched recursively during the file
|
|
lookup point. Directories in 'ess-tracebug-search-path' are now
|
|
also searched recursively.
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R] Namespaced evaluation is now automatically enabled only in
|
|
the 'R/' directory. This way ESS will not attempt to update
|
|
function definitions from a package if you are working from e.g. a
|
|
test file.
|
|
|
|
Changes and New Features in 16.10:
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: Syntax highlighting is now more consistent. Backquoted
|
|
names are not fontified as strings (since they really are
|
|
identifiers). Furthermore they are now correctly recognized when
|
|
they are function definitions or function calls.
|
|
* ESS[R]: Backquoted names and '%op%' operators are recognized as
|
|
sexp. This is useful for code navigation, e.g. with 'C-M-f' and
|
|
'C-M-b'.
|
|
* ESS[R]: Integration of outline mode with roxygen examples fields.
|
|
You can use outline mode's code folding commands to fold the
|
|
examples field. This is especially nice to use with well
|
|
documented packages with long examples set. Set
|
|
'ess-roxy-fold-examples' to non-nil to automatically fold the
|
|
examples field when you open a buffer.
|
|
* ESS[R]: New experimental feature: syntax highlighting in roxygen
|
|
examples fields. This is turned off by default. Set
|
|
'ess-roxy-fontify-examples' to non-nil to try it out.
|
|
* ESS[R]: New package development command 'ess-r-devtools-ask' bound
|
|
to 'C-c C-w C-a'. It asks with completion for any devtools command
|
|
that takes 'pkg' as argument.
|
|
* ESS[R]: New command 'C-c C-e C-r' to reload the inferior process.
|
|
Currently only implemented for R. The R method runs
|
|
'inferior-ess-r-reload-hook' on reloading.
|
|
* ESS[R]: 'ess-r-package-mode' is now activated in non-file buffers
|
|
as well.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes in 16.10:
|
|
* ESS[R]: Fix broken (un)flagging for debugging inside packages
|
|
* ESS[R]: Fixes (and improvements) in Package development
|
|
* ESS[R]: Completion no longer produces '...=' inside 'list( )'.
|
|
* ESS[R]: Better debugging and tracing in packages.
|
|
* ESS[R]: Better detection of symbols at point.
|
|
* ESS[R]: No more spurious warnings on deletion of temporary files.
|
|
* ESS[julia]: help and completion work (better)
|
|
* ESS[julia]: available via 'ess-remote'
|
|
|
|
Changes and New Features in 16.04:
|
|
|
|
* ESS[R]: 'developer' functionality has been refactored. The new
|
|
user interface consists of a single command
|
|
'ess-r-set-evaluation-env' bound by default to 'C-c C-t C-s'. Once
|
|
an evaluation environment has been set with, all subsequent ESS
|
|
evaluation will source the code into that environment. By default,
|
|
for file within R packages the evaluation environment is set to the
|
|
package environment. Set 'ess-r-package-auto-set-evaluation-env'
|
|
to 'nil' to disable this.
|
|
* ESS[R]: New 'ess-r-package-mode' This development mode provides
|
|
features to make package development easier. Currently, most of
|
|
the commands are based on the 'devtools' packages and are
|
|
accessible with 'C-c C-w' prefix. See the documentation of
|
|
'ess-r-package-mode' function for all available commands. With
|
|
'C-u' prefix each command asks for extra arguments to the
|
|
underlying devtools function. This mode is automatically enabled
|
|
in all files within R packages and is indicated with '[pkg:NAME]'
|
|
in the mode-line.
|
|
* ESS[R]: Help lookup has been improved. It is now possible to get
|
|
help for namespaced objects such as pkg::foobar. Furthermore, ESS
|
|
recognizes more reliably when you change 'options('html_type')'.
|
|
* ESS[R]: New specialized breakpoints for debugging magrittr pipes
|
|
* ESS: ESS now implements a simple message passing interface to
|
|
communicate between ESS and inferior process.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes in 16.04:
|
|
* ESS[R]: Roxygen blocks with backtics are now correctly filled
|
|
* ESS[R]: Don't skip breakpoints in magrittr's 'debug_pipe'
|
|
* ESS[R]: Error highlighting now understands 'testthat' type errors
|
|
* ESS[Julia]: Added getwd and setwd generic commands
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|

|
|
* 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]: 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
|

|
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'.
|
|
|
|
Changes/Bug Fixes in 12.04-3:
|
|
* 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'
|

|
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.
|
|
|
|
Changes/New Features in 5.1.11:
|
|
* 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:
|
|
* More fixes to Stata mode
|
|
* primitive generic version of ESS-elsewhere
|
|
* Small fixes to SAS/Stata.
|
|
|
|
Changes/New Features in 5.1.9:
|
|
* Stata mode works
|
|
* Literate Data Analysis using Noweb works
|
|
|
|
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.
