Due to delays in implementing an updated Windows toolchain for CRAN, R Core has
found it unsafe to go with our usual 1-week beta testing period. Combined with
other scheduling issues, we have decided to postpone the transition to 3.3.0 RC
until April 26, with the final release happening on May 3.
Apologies for any inconvenience, but it is really rather important to get this
right before the release of 3.3.0. One cannot mix and match binaries from
different toolchains - CRAN packages binaries for 3.3.x must be all of the same
kind. Accordingly, if we have too little time to fix issues discovered in the
beta period, we might have to back out and be stuck with the old tools for
another year.
Web site updates will happen shortly.
I have finally added a public link to the binary build of the 3.3.0
beta. (It may take a few hours before it makes it to the visible
machines on CRAN.) It will work with binary builds of many packages,
but definitely not with those that use C++ unless they were built with
the same toolchain.
In case you want to get it before the link is visible, here it is on one
mirror:
