This is not true. Version 0.8-8 of SciViews-R (http://www.sciviews.org/SciViews-R) is compatible with R 2.1.1. There were several months of delay between R 2.1.X and the compatible SciViews-R version... There were a lot of changes required in my code, because of the internationalization of R. I though translating R in French was a priority, so, I have been working on "R French" first. Also, I took a little time with my baby that was born in April... life is not limited to programming R! Remember that Open Source is a collaborative and voluntary approach of developing software. If you want to use all the time the latest R version, just learn to use its standard command line interface. If you prefer SciViews, JGR, R Commander, etc., then you should expect some delay before R releases and compatible GUI releases. Indeed, one must say that R Commander has always been released on time with the latest R version, as fart as I know, and JGR is very close to. Latest SciViews version was very, very late. I apologize for that.
