It changed. One build will be compatible with all R binary until R's C API changes. This simplifies: - building binaries (as it required to a museum of R releases sitting on the disk). - the need to rebuild when there is a new version R with no change in its C API (happening more and more frequently). Potential issues: - people with older version of R (if they do not update R, they should not want to update to rpy2 either). - newer version of R with a change in the API require a new build that might not be compatible with earlier versions. The current strategy is to make it a new minor release for rpy2 (only compatible with the most recent R and above) L. > Peter > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.
