Bug Description

Binary package hint: rkward

RKWard 0.5.1, is available for download, now. Perhaps most excitingly, this is the first official version of RKWard to also be available for the Windows operating system. The Windows port still has some issues, but we hope to iron those out in the coming release(s). On Linux/BSD systems, RKWard 0.5.1 also comes with new features. Perhaps most importantly, the output window now has links to re-run a plugin with the same (or adjusted) settings, and the keyboard shortcuts can finally be customized to your own liking.

The changes in detail:

    * New features
          o New command line option "--evaluate <Rcode>" mostly for the purpose of automated testing
          o Add basic checks for a correct installation of the RKWard resource files
          o Remove "What to expect" dialog at startup
          o Make keyboard shorcuts configurable
          o Add option to add only single line commands from script editor to the console history
          o Add action to change working directory to that of the current script file
          o More plugins now write a header to the output window
          o Add convenience function "makeHeaderCode()" for use inside plugins
          o Plugins can be invoked from R code (mostly for internal purposes)
          o Add "Run again" link for plugin generated output
    * Fixes and cleanups
          o Remove support for R 2.6.x and earlier
          o Fixed: No warning was shown, when an open script file was changed on disk, externally
          o Fixed: Opening most file types (e.g. PDF) from the help browser was broken
          o Fixed: Make built-in editor work again for file.edit ()
          o Fixed: All objects in .Globalenv would be revisited if a single object was added / removed
          o Fixed: Screen device in rkward was not seen as interactive by R
          o Adjust some icons

  * Drop inline patch on rkward/rkward.cpp. There is no message in the
    new version.
  * debian/control
   - Re-enable build-depends on cmake and libphonon-dev, upstream specify it
     in configuration and Debian want to keep it (see debian bug #531086).
  * debian/watch: Add.
