I don't think that applies in this case does it? On the front page for all of the mirrors it says: "The latest release (2013-04-03, Masked Marvel): [R-3.0.0.tar.gz], read [what's new] in the latest version." With the [] as links to the release and release notes.



That's interesting: for me, the homepage just says "R version 3.0.0 (Masked Marvel) has been released on 2013-04-03." without any links. There's a What's New link in the sidebar, but it just takes me to mailing list archives.


While it initially looks like all that page, at the very bottom is a "Changes in R" section that has a link to the NEWS file.


You seem to be using http://cran.r-project.org (which is what's actually mirrored) and not the linked webpage.


Correct, hence "all of the mirrors" :)

But it is a good point that it's surprising not to have Project landing page.

There was a mailing list discussion on it a while back, can't remember what the maintainers said was their reason for this.


Interesting -- there is no such link in the page that I land on.


nothing for me too
