A single Rpy install can now work with multiple versions of R. R Logical objects (TRUE/FALSE) are now mapped into python Boolean objects. There is a new VECTOR_CONVERSION mode. R source headers are no longer needed. There are many bugfixes.
New features such as the handling of the R event loop and customizable I/O from the R interpreter, better SIGINT management, and fixes for non-critical but annoying bugs (factors and wrong I/O). A Windows version is available in addition to Linux and Unix support.
This release fixes many severe bugs which caused Python segfaults. The conversion system has been reworked to allow user defined conversion functions from and to R. Support for conversion to Numeric arrays was added. The documentation was also enhanced and examples are included.
