Peter Dalgard just announced R .2.7.2 . Very professional software like very transparent release.
Quoted from R -Announce Email
“”This is intended as a wrap-up release containing all known fixes to issues with the 2.7.x series.
See the full list of changes below.
You can get it (in a short while) from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.7.2.tar.gz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you.
NEW FEATURES
o sprintf() returns elements of the result in UTF-8 when the
format or any character input has a corresponding element
declared as UTF-8. Similarly for paste(), elements of the
result are in UTF-8 when any input to that element is declared
as UTF-8.
o axis() has new arguments ‘col.ticks’ and ‘lwd.ticks’ to allow
the colour and line width of ticks to be set separately from
that of the line (e.g. to set one or the other to transparent
or zero width).
o legend() has a new argument ‘box.col’ to set the colour of the
enclosing box.
o legend() gains a ‘xpd’ argument to make it easier to place a
legend in the margins or outer margins.
o stripchart() now passes ‘…’ to title() (as well as to
plot.default() and axis()). (Wish of PR#12202)
o help.search() has new argument ‘searchEngine’ to go
directly to the search form: this is needed by users of
Firefox 3 to workaround a bug in interpreting the search
results pages.
