R version 3.0.0

This is no secret to those who read the NEWS file of the development version regularly, as the following has
been in place since December 12th:

\section{\Rlogo CHANGES IN R-devel}{
  \subsection{SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES}{
    \itemize{
      \item It is intended that this version will be released as \R
      3.0.0.
....

However, it seems reasonable to supplement this with a more direct public announcement.

The intended timing is to follow the annual release schedule and have R 3.0.0 around April 1 and a finalizing
2.15.3 a month earlier.

Major R releases have not previously marked great landslides in terms of new features. Rather, they
represent that the codebase has developed to a new level of maturity. This is not going to be an exception to
the rule.

Version 1.0.0 was released at a point in time when we felt that we had reached a level of completeness and
stability high enough to characterize a full statistical system, which could be put to production use. 

Version 2.0.0 came out after strong enhancements of the memory management subsystem as well as several
major features, including Sweave.

Version 3.0.0, as of this writing, contains only really major new feature: The inclusion of long vectors
(containing more than 2^31-1 elements!). More changes are likely to make it into the final release, but
the main reason for having it as a new major release is that R over the last 8.5 years has reached a new level:
we now have 64 bit support on all platforms, support for parallel processing, the Matrix package, and much more.

Release plans: R-2.15.1 on June 22

Just a note, mainly to people who maintain larger R installations, that we intend to have a patch release
version on June 22. The nickname will be "Roasted Marshmallows".

This is somewhat later than previous .1 releases, but we are also now aiming for an annual rather than
biannual release scheme.  There have been very few issues with 2.15.0, but some people may be waiting
superstitiously for a .1 release (or expecting one come along any day now) and need to be informed about the
plans.
