o Reorganized Data menu, adding "Data in packages" and "Active data set" submenus, and items to get help on active data set and to list variables in it.
Version 0.8-3
o Changed Compute dialog to use with(activeDataSet, expression) rather than to evaluate the expression in the global environment.
o Added RcmdrPager function for non-Windows systems, a version of the tkpager modified slightly to use the Rcmdr monospaced font and a white background. This is for non-Windows systems.
o Added Data -> Active data set -> Export active data set.
o Reworked package initialization so as not to fail when a required package -- probably car -- is missing (thanks to Brian Ripley for help here).

- log-exceptions.txt: a list of functions that are prevented from printing output when executed from the log window.
- compareModels.demo: contains a demonstration of how to add a dialog to Rcmdr. Rename this file to compareModels.R and uncomment the corresponding menu-definition line in Rcmdr-menus.txt.
o Some more functions in the package are exported to support writing extensions.
o Made active-data-set and active-model "information fields" into buttons that can be used to select the active data set and model.

- New default is for output to appear in an output window within the Commander window (suggested by Brian Ripley).
- Toolbar, options, and option dialog rearranged to conform to the new scheme.
- Log/script files now have .R extension (suggested by Philippe Grosjean); the output window can be saved to a file
(by default with a .txt extension).

- Individual commands entered into the log/script window can extend over more than one line (with additional lines indented).
o Added "Clear" item to Edit menu and context menus.
o Added setOutputWidth dialog and corresponding menu item.
o Various small changes for compatibility with the new interface.
o Changes to numerical model tests dialogs for compatibility with new lmtest package.
o Small bug fixes.
Version 0.9-10
o The Rcmdr dialog-generating functions were completely rewritten, using much more modularized code (as a result of gentle prodding by Martin Maechler). As a consequence, the R code for the package has been reduced by nearly 40 percent, from about 10,700 lines to about 6600 lines. See help("Rcmdr.Utilities") for the utilities supporting these changes.
o If there are missing required packages at startup, the Rcmdr now tries to install them.
o The Commander() now intercepts warnings and prints them in a message box.
o New function (bin.var) and dialog to bin a numeric variable (contributed by Dan Putler)
o Added "Save R workspace" and "Save R workspace as" to File menu (suggested by Dan Putler).
o Added "Save graph to file" submenu to File menu, with items "as bitmap", "as PDF/Postscript/EPS", and "3D RGL graph" (súggested by Dan Putler).
o Small bug fixes and interface enhancements.
Version 0.9-11
o Added LazyLoad: no to DESCRIPTION file to prevent lazy loading of functions in the package in R 2.0.0 (to prevent problems uncovered by Brian Ripley).
Version 0.9-12
o SciViews compatibility added, provided by Philippe Grosjean. This does not affect the "standard" use of the Rcmdr package and currently applies only to the Windows platform.
o Added Control-S to save log and output windows (suggested by Harald Weedon-Fekjaer).
o Small bug fixes.
o Changed default "grab.focus" option to FALSE for non-Windows systems.
o Added "report.X11.warnings" options, with default of FALSE, to suppress X11 protocol error warnings in (some?) Linux system. This is, I hope, a stop-gap measure until the source of the problem is discovered.
o Changes to printed output routing for compatibility with R 2.0.0.
o scatter3d() now returns model summaries (rather than prints them as side effects) when model.summary=TRUE (to fix a problem reported by Paul Johnson).
Version 0.9-13
o Added "from STATA data set..." to the "Import" menu; contributed by Michael Ash.
Version 0.9-14
o New facilities for incorporating additional classes of statistical models.
o Added support for multinomial logit models [via multinom() in nnet] and for proportional-odds logit models [via polr() in MASS].
Version 0.9-15
o Improvements to doItAndPrint(), justDoIt(), and checkWarnings() to handle wider range of output situations and to avoid intercepting errors and warnings when it is not desirable to do so (prompted by problems encountered by Bernhard Pfaff and suggestions by Brian Ripley).
o If the rgl package is absent, a message is printed in the console, but the Rcmdr can still be used.
o Added various cluster-analysis facilities, courtesy of Dan Putler.
o Small bug fixes.
Version 0.9-16
o Fixed a problem in the new output facility, where a test for S4 objects sometimes failed.
Version 0.9-17
o Changed the test for S4 objects (courtesy of John Chambers).
o The active model is no longer set to NULL when variables are simply added to, deleted from, or modified in the active data set (from a suggestion by Andy Jaworski).
o Data-set help now works with HTML help (after bug report from Dan Putler); other improvements to data-set help.
o New Rcmdr option, showData.threshold, to set maximum number of variables in the active data set beyond which showData() won't be used to display the data set.
o New "File -> Load package(s)" menu item (suggested by Rob Cribbie).
o Small changes and bug fixes.
Version 0.9-18
o Added "Models -> Confidence intervals" menu item, along with Confint, Confint.glm, confint.multinom, and confint.polr.
o Added preventDoubleClick argument to dialogSuffix() function so that modelling functions still work when the double.click option is set (to fix a problem discovered by Andy Jaworski).
o Changed handling of assignments for commands executed from the Rcmdr script window so that a wider variety of commands will be executed correctly (to deal with a problem discovered by Ralph Grundel). The "console" provided by the script window still isn't bullet-proof.
o New closeDialog() utility function.
o Changes to the structure of the menu-definition file to support conditionally activated menu items; new function activateMenus() to conditionally activate menu items. Several new exported "predicate" utilities [e.g., activeDataSetP()] to support activation of menus.
o Rcmdr windows no longer pop up at random positions on the screen, but on top of the Commander window.
o State information is now saved in a separate environment rather than in the global environment, using functions adapted (with permission) from Philippe Grosjean; new functions getRcmdr() and putRcmdr() to store and retrieve state information; several convenience functions [e.g., ActiveDataSet()] to set or retrieve frequently used state information.
o Messages (errors, warnings, and "notes") not requiring a response are now routed to a Messages window rather than to Tk message boxes.
o Output width now automatically adjusts to the current width of the Output window.
o The default is now *not* to attach the active data set.
o Some menu items moved from File to new Tools menu.
o Improved start-up (e.g., if non-essential packages are missing, rather than stopping, corresponding menu-items are inactivated).
o Small changes.
Version 1.0-0
o No feature changes.
o Change to svlogger (from Philippe Grosjean) to remove non-ascii characters (created problems with East Asian language version of R.)
o New introductory manual.
Version 1.0-1
o Small bug fixes.
Version 1.0-2
o Can use tclServiceMode() for crisper dialog display; introduced corresponding crisp.dialogs option.
o Re-introduced code to handle X11 warnings properly (see changes under Version 0.9-12). The Rcmdr option name is now suppress.X11.warnings, and is set to TRUE when .Platform$GUI == "X11".
o Small bug fixes.
Version 1.1-0
o Changes to support internationalization, using the new features of R 2.1.x. The following translations are provided with the package: Catalan (courtesy of Manel Salamero); French (courtesy of Philippe Grosjean); and Slovenian translation (courtesy of Jaro Lajovic).
o Added RcmdrTkmessageBox() to replace direct calls to tkmessageBox() so that button text gets translated on non-English Windows systems.
o Changes to the way packages are handled at startup, including a new Rcmdr option, use.rgl, which if FALSE suppresses the loading of the rgl package even if it is present in an acessible library; this addresses crashes sometimes caused by rgl when R is run under X11. As well, with the exception of the car package, packages are loaded only when they needed. There is also a new option, packages.to.load (defaulting to "car"), which lists the packages to be loaded at startup. See ?Commander for details.

o Cleaned up links to help files in standard packages.
o Enhancements to 3D scatterplots.
o Added ability to read data from the clipboard (suggested by Graham Smith).

Version 1.3-0
o New facility for Rcmdr plug-in packages to extend the Rcmdr menus. (The design reflects suggestions from Richard Heiberger.)

Version 1.4-2
o For cases where translated help files of the form Commander-xx.Rd won't compile (where "xx" is the language code), translators can now provide a PDF file named Commander-xx.pdf to be substituted when users select Menu -> Commander help. (Thanks to Alexey Shipunov for helping me with this problem.)

o Improvements and bug fixes to handling of plug-in menu installation.
o New function MacOSXP() to test for Mac OS X; used to suppress "Data -> New data set" menu, since the Mac data editor causes R to hang when called with an empty data frame (reported by Rob Goedman and Tracy Lightcap).
o When character values are entered in the data editor after "Data -> New data set", the corresponding variable is converted to a factor.
o When console.output is TRUE, messages as well as output now go to the R Console and the Commander Messages window (as well as the Output window) is suppressed (with code contributed by Richard Heiberger).
o Small changes.
Version 1.4-7
o Improved Brazilian Portuguese translation, contributed by Adriano Azevedo-Filho and Marilia Sa Carvalho.
o Added function sortVarNames(), which sorts variable names including numerals into a more "natural" order than does sort(); used in variable lists when the Rcmdr option "sort.names" is TRUE, which is the default.
o Small changes.
