[statet-users] [Ann] StatET 4.4.0 Release

[Stephan Wahlbrink <sw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear StatET users,

I am pleased to announce StatET 4.4.0, the Eclipse-based IDE for the R 
language.
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/science.statet/releases/4.4.0

This release provides support for the features added in R language 4.1, in 
particular the forward pipe operator and the shorthand notation for 
function definition, as well as several other improvements. Details about 
these improvements and more noteworthy changes and features can be found 
here: https://www.eclipse.org/statet/news/noteworthy-4.4.php

The new version is available for Eclipse IDE 2021-06 
(https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2021-06/r). StatET 4.4 
officially supports R 3.6 - 4.1, 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/4.4/E202106

For other download options, please check the download page:
https://www.eclipse.org/statet/downloads/4.4.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 4.4. I recommend to update to the latest release 4.0.4 if not 
yet done, especially when using R 4.1.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.

Regards,
Stephan
