<p>An update to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/open" target="_blank">Microsoft R Open</a> (MRO) is now <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/download" target="_blank">available for download</a> on Windows, Mac and Linux. This release upgrades the R language engine to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/news#r344" target="_blank">version 3.4.4</a>, which addresses some minor issues with timezone detection and some edge cases in some statistics functions. As a maintenance release, it's backwards-compatible with scripts and packages from the prior release of MRO.</p>
<p>MRO 3.4.4 points to a fixed CRAN snapshot taken on April 1 2018, and you can see some <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/spotlight" target="_blank">highlights of new packages released since the prior version of MRO</a> on the Spotlights page. As always, you can use the built-in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/reproducibility/#timemachine" target="_blank">checkpoint package</a> to access packages from an earlier date (for reproducibility) or a later date (to access new and updated packages).</p>
<p>Looking ahead, the next update <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2018/04/r-350.html" target="_blank">based on R 3.5.0</a> has started the build and test process. Microsoft R Open 3.5.0 is scheduled for release on May 31.</p>
