<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">MRAN, the Microsoft R Application Network</a> has been migrated to a new high-performance, high-availability server, and we've taken the opportunity to make a few upgrades along the way. You shouldn't notice any breaking changes (of course if you do, please <a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:mran@microsoft.com" target="_blank">let us know</a>), but you should notice faster performance for the MRAN site and for the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/package/checkpoint" target="_blank">checkpoint package</a>. (MRAN is also the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/timemachine" target="_blank">home of daily archives of CRAN</a>, which checkpoint relies on to deliver specific package versions for its <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/reproducibility" target="_blank">reproducibility</a> functions.)</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="MRAN" title="MRAN" src="http://revolution-computing.typepad.com/.a/6a010534b1db25970b01b7c933e237970b-800wi"></a></p>
<p>Among the improvements you will find:</p>
<ul>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/package/abbyyR" target="_blank">Faster search of R packages</a>, including links to package vignettes and a dependencies graph for related packages.</li>
<li>Additional <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/what-is-r" target="_blank">resources for R users</a>, including R Community links.</li>
<li>A new &quot;R Tools&quot; menu, with links to other software platforms that integrate R.</li>
<li>Streamlined download <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/download" target="_blank">experience for Microsoft R Open</a>, which no longer requires a separate install for <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/multithread" target="_blank">accelerated math libraries</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>As always, you can find MRAN at <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">mran.microsoft.com</a>.</p>
