[statet-users] [Ann] StatET 4.9.0 Release

[Stephan Wahlbrink <sw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear StatET users,

I am pleased to announce StatET 4.9.0, a new version of the 
Eclipse-based IDE for the R language.
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/science.statet/releases/4.9.0

This release provides improved support for R package DESCRIPTION files, 
as well as several other minor improvements.
Details about these improvements are presented here:
https://www.walware.de/statet/news/noteworthy-4.9.html

The new version is available for Eclipse IDE 2023-12 
(https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2023-12/r). StatET 
4.9 officially supports R 4.1 - 4.3, but other versions of R may work too.

To install the new version, you can use the following update site:
https://download.eclipse.org/statet/releases/4.9/E202312

For other download options, please check the download page:
https://www.walware.de/statet/downloads/4.9.html

If you want to use the advanced console (RJ) with R, you need the R 
package 'rj' for your R version as before. The packages for GNU R 
(RJSrv4GR) are not part of the Eclipse StatET project, for installation 
see the instructions at the project site at:
https://gitlab.com/walware/de.walware.rj-server.gr/wikis/Installation
The R packages with version numbers 4.0.x (for RJ 4.0) are also 
compatible with StatET 4.9. I recommend to update to the latest release 
4.0.10, if not yet done.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.

Regards,
Stephan
