Some things which it would be particularly helpful to have tested: - FreeBSD. We believe we have a workaround and it has been tested by Rainer Hurling, but tests of the actual beta tarball would be helpful. - AIX. I am unclear if R currrently builds on AIX. - Solaris 10. I believe that various people have now succeeded, but it would be good to have positive feedback, especially if anyone has the latest Sun compilers (Forte 9?). - Korean. We have recently had contributed Korean translations of the messages, Windows menus and installer. It looks like Korean to me, but that's as far as it goes. So please test on Windows and on Unix-alikes, the latter in both UTF-8 and EUC-KR if possible. - Bleeding-edge OSes, e.g. anyone running Fedora Core 4 test 3? (These often show up problems with bugs in the pre-release versions of components such as X11 and compilers.) - Windows: R for Windows can now be installed in a wide range of Western European languages, some Eastern European ones, (Simplified) Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Please test these. If you know Catalan, Czech, Dutch, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, (European) Portuguese or Slovenian please consider submitting translations for the following phrases which will otherwise appear in English: en.regentries=Registry entries: en.associate=Associate R with .RData files en.dcom=Register R path for use by the (D)COM server en.user=User installation en.compact=Minimal user installation en.full=Full installation en.CJK=Chinese/Japanese/Korean installation en.custom=Custom installation -- Brian D.
