by Thomas Dinsmore Last week, Revolution Analytics released the Limited Availability edition of Revolution R Enterprise Release 6.2.  Interest in this new release is high, and we're very pleased with user response. Over the next several weeks, I will share more detailed information about the capabilities included in this new release. Revolution R Enterprise Release 6.2 supports open source R 2.15.3, the latest stable version.  Release 6.1, our current GA release, supports open source R 2.14.2.  Revolution R Enterprise users who upgrade to Release 6.2 benefit from 89 new features, 11 performance enhancements and 139 bug fixes in the open source R software releases. Here are brief summaries of the new capabilities in each open source R release: R 2.15.0 R 2.15.1 R 2.15.2 R 2.15.3 But that's not all.  R package developers work on a different cadence from the R Project as a whole.  There are at least 137 CRAN packages with new releases that depend on R 2.15.x, including: devtools arules Matrix lasso2 fGarch Rcpp tree lattice Rsurvey There are also some recently released independent R packages, such as RStan, that depend on R 2.15.  If you use any of these packages, Revolution R Enterprise Release 6.2 enables you to upgrade to a more recent version. In the next post, I'll write about our exciting new capability for Stepwise Regression with Big Data.
