Abstract: Abstract Version 2.0 of R will be released in the course of 2004. Following the 1.0 release on 2000-02-29, the advent of this “next generation” of R mostly indicates the view of the R developers that R has now moved substantially beyond being a reference implementation of S. In this paper, we look at several of these key enhancements. We start with a review of some key facts on “R and S”. Sections 2 to 5 then describe the name space mechanism, the new grid graphics system, the packaging system, and Sweave, a tool which allows to embed R code for data analysis into LATEX documents.
