Entering edit mode
After languishing for about 9 months, I have finished a new version of
annaffy. It represents almost a complete rewrite including:
- separation of data retrieval and HTML/text generation
- better options for interfacing with web databases from the R console
- more powerful ways of including user data
- a vignette (annaffy is now fully Bioconductor compliant)
- updated for use with the version 1.2.6 affy data packages
- more robust and expandable data structures
- pervasive use of S4 classes and methods
- stronger typing (no more NULL or NA, empty objects or vectors are
used instead)
I'm calling this version 0.8. My tentative release schedule consists
of
a feature freeze at 0.9 in about 2-3 weeks and 1.0 shortly thereafter,
following a short but hopefully rigorous QA period.
Package download:

(Make sure to install the GO and KEGG data packages as well)
A rough version of the vignette:

I would appreciate any and all positive or negative comments, feature
requests, and bug reports regarding the package itself, the
documentation, or coding.
Thanks.
