[statet-users] [Ann] StatET 4.2.0 Release

[Stephan Wahlbrink <sw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear StatET users,

I am pleased to announce StatET 4.2.0, the Eclipse-based IDE for the R 
language.
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/science.statet/releases/4.2.0

This release provides full support for R 4.0, especially support for the 
newly added raw string literals in the R language. Details about these 
improvements and more noteworthy changes and features are presented here: 
https://www.eclipse.org/statet/news/noteworthy-4.2.php

The new version is available for Eclipse IDE 2020-06 
(https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2020-06/r); it is not 
compatible with Eclipse IDE 2020-09. StatET 4.2 officially supports R 3.5 
- 4.0, 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/4.2/E202006

For other download options, please check the download page:
https://www.eclipse.org/statet/downloads/4.2.php

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 GitLab:
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 4.2. There is no separate version for StatET/RJ 4.2.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.

Regards,
Stephan
