ChangeLog

* DESCRIPTION: Version is 0.8-50.
2012-05-08 Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik@R-project.org>
* DESCRIPTION: Improve Authors@R
2012-02-10 Brian Ripley <Brian.Ripley@R-project.org>
* DESCRIPTION: Version is 0.8-49.
* R/read.dta.R, src/stataread: patch from PR#14799
* tests/spss.Rout.save: update output for R 2.15.0
2011-12-06 Brian Ripley <Brian.Ripley@R-project.org>
* DESCRIPTION: Version is 0.8-48.
2011-12-03 Brian Ripley <Brian.Ripley@R-project.org>
* src/writeForeignSAS.R, man/write.foreign.Rd: add 'libpath'
argument contributed by Xiaobo Gu.
2011-11-23 Brian Ripley <Brian.Ripley@R-project.org>
* src/var.h.in: this assumed values for sizes, ignoring those
computed by configure. And we know sizeof(double) is always 8.
* configure, configure.ac, src/Makevars.in, src/swap_bytes.h.in,
cleanup: The header had always #undef-ed HAVE_GLIBC_SWAP, so
remove never-used code branches. This means that 'long long' is
never used and so no warning needs to be suppressed, so
src/Makevars and all configuration are not needed.
2011-11-22 Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik@R-project.org>
* R/arff.R: handle "Date" objects in addition to "POSIXt" ones.
