Release notes
Changes since 2.6.5:
1, I’ve moved RStudio out of the base and it is now an optional add-on. It’s not really an end-user tool like R Commander, and removing it removed about 50 MB of LaTeX dependencies.
2. I’ve added my Twitter research tools. They’re fairly well tested but not documented yet.
3. I’ve switched from R-patched to R-base. R-patched updates very frequently and that proved to be annoying.
4. I’ve replaced the “Burst” desktop background with a blue one.
5. I’ve added back the algorithmic music composition and synthesis tools.
