[statet-users] [Ann] StatET 4.8.0 Release

[Stephan Wahlbrink <sw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear StatET users,

I am pleased to announce StatET 4.8.0, a new version of the 
Eclipse-based IDE for the R language.
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/science.statet/releases/4.8.0

This release provides support for R 4.3, improved support for newer 
versions of the Java runtime environment, as well as several other minor 
improvements. Please note that versions of Java lower than 17 are no 
longer supported as runtime environment by Eclipse IDE 2023-06 and 
StatET 4.8.
Details about these improvements are presented here: 
https://www.eclipse.org/statet/news/noteworthy-4.8.php

The new version is available for Eclipse IDE 2023-06 
(https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2023-06/r). StatET 
4.8 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/4.8/E202306

For other download options, please check the download page:
https://www.eclipse.org/statet/downloads/4.8.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:
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 4.8. 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
