<p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-announce/2016/000608.html">R 3.3.2</a>, the latest update to the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/what-is-r/">R language</a>, was released today. Binary releases for Linux and Mac are available now from your local <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cloud.r-project.org/">CRAN mirror</a>, and the Windows builds will be available shortly.</p>
<p>As a minor update to the R 3.3 series, this update focuses mainly on fixing bugs and doesn't make any major changes to the langauge. As a result, you can expect existing scripts and packages to continue to work if you're upgrading from R 3.3.1. This update includes some performance improvements (particularly in <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/base/versions/3.3.1/topics/eigen">calculation of eigenvalues</a>), better handling of date axes in graphics, and improved documentation for the methods package. (Fun fact: when printed as a 9Mb PDF <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cloud.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/fullrefman.pdf">reference manual</a>, the documentation for the R base and recommended packages now runs to 3452 pages. That's almost 3 copies of <em>War and Peace</em>!) </p>
<p>The nickname for this release is &quot;Sincere Pumpkin Patch&quot;, in recognition of the Halowe'en release date and (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060550/">per RWeekly</a>) references this clip from &quot;It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown&quot;.</p>
