I downloaded the AIMS package and received a warning:
package 'AIMS' was built under R version 3.2.0
I thought that R-3.1.2 ("Pumpkin Helmet") was the latest version, so I checked CRAN and did not see anything about R-3.2.0 .
Before calling it a typo, I googled the “problem” with different keywords and ended up on this page from the r-project website , which mentions two versions of R a R-release ( R-3.1.2 ) and “ R-devel , so be R-3.2.0 ".
Googling "r_devel" has confirmed that I am assuming this is the current development version.
I'm a little surprised that packages can be built in the development version, and I have a twofold question:
- How can a package already be created under the “be released” version of R and is it “safe”?
- Given that the development version has not yet been released, how can I use the package with version R with which it was built? (Having a previous version of R doesn't stop me from using the package, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this warning ...)
Or maybe it was just a typo? ...
