1 General Information: README
*****************************
This is the README file for the distribution of ESS version
18.10.3snapshot
ESS is a GNU Emacs package for interactive statistical programming
and data analysis. Languages supported: the S family (S, S-PLUS and R),
SAS, BUGS/JAGS and Stata. ESS grew out of the desire for bug fixes and
extensions to S-mode and SAS-mode as well as a consistent union of their
features in one package.
Installation instructions are provided in sections for both Unix and
Windows; see below.
The current development team is led by Martin Maechler since August
2004. Former project leader A.J. (Tony) Rossini
(<rossini@blindglobe.net>) did the initial port to XEmacs and has been
the primary coder. Martin Maechler (<maechler@stat.math.ethz.ch>) and
Kurt Hornik (<Kurt.Hornik@R-project.org>) have assisted with the S
family and XLispStat. Stephen Eglen (<stephen@gnu.org>) has worked
mostly on R support. Richard M. Heiberger (<rmh@temple.edu>) has
assisted with S/S-PLUS development for Windows. Richard and Rodney A.
Sparapani (<rsparapa@mcw.edu>) have done much of the work improving SAS
batch and interactive support. Rodney has also extended ESS to support
BUGS/JAGS and has an interest in improving Stata support.
We are grateful to the previous developers of S-mode (Doug Bates, Ed
Kademan, Frank Ritter, David M. Smith), SAS-mode (Tom Cook) and
Stata-mode (Thomas Lumley).

1.2 Installation
================
ESS supports GNU Emacs versions 25.1 and newer.
ESS is most likely to work with current/recent versions of the
following statistical packages: R/S-PLUS, SAS, Stata, OpenBUGS and JAGS.
To build the PDF documentation, you will need a version of TeX Live
or texinfo that includes texi2dvi.
There are two main methods used for installing ESS. You may install
from a third-party repository or from source code. Once you install it,
you must also activate or load ESS in each Emacs session, though
installation from a third-party repository likely takes care of that for
you. See *note Activating and Loading ESS:: for more details.
* Menu:
* Installing from a third-party repository::
* Installing from source::
* Activating and Loading ESS::
* Check Installation::

File: readme.info, Node: Installing from a third-party repository, Next: Installing from source
1.3 Installing from a third-party repository
============================================
ESS is packaged by many third party repositories. Many GNU/Linux
distributions package it, usually with the name "emacs-ess" or similar.
ESS is also available through Milkypostman’s Emacs Lisp Package
Archive (MELPA), a popular repository for Emacs packages. Instructions
on how to do so are found on MELPA's website (https://melpa.org/).
MELPA also hosts MELPA-stable with stable ESS builds. You may choose
between MELPA with the latest and greatest features (and bugs) or
MELPA-stable, which may lag a bit behind but should be more stable.
After installing, users should make sure ESS is activated or loaded
in each Emacs session. See *note Activating and Loading ESS::.
Depending on install method, this may be taken care of automatically.

File: readme.info, Node: Installing from source, Next: Activating and Loading ESS, Prev: Installing from a third-party repository
1.4 Installing from source
==========================
Stable versions of ESS are available at the ESS web page
(https://ess.r-project.org) as a .tgz file or .zip file. ESS releases
are GPG-signed, you should check the signature by downloading the
accompanying '.sig' file and doing:
gpg --verify ess-18.10.tgz.sig
Alternatively, you may download the git repository. ESS is currently
hosted on GitHub: <https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS>. 'git clone
https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS.git' will download it to a new
directory 'ESS' in the current working directory.
We will refer to the location of the ESS source files as
'/path/to/ESS/' hereafter.
After installing, users should make sure they activate or load ESS in
each Emacs session, see *note Activating and Loading ESS::
Optionally, compile elisp files, build the documentation, and the
autoloads:
cd /path/to/ESS/
make
Without this step the documentation, reference card, and autoloads
will not be available. Uncompiled ESS will also run slower.
Optionally, you may make ESS available to all users of a machine by
installing it site-wide. To do so, run 'make install'. You might need
administrative privileges:
make install
The files are installed into '/usr/share/emacs' directory. For this
step to run correctly on macOS, you will need to adjust the 'PREFIX'
path in 'Makeconf'. The necessary code and instructions are commented
in that file.

File: readme.info, Node: Activating and Loading ESS, Next: Check Installation, Prev: Installing from source
1.5 Activating and Loading ESS
==============================
After installing ESS, you must activate or load it each Emacs session.
ESS can be autoloaded, and if you used a third-party repository (such as
your Linux distribution or MELPA) to install, you can likely skip this
section and proceed directly to *note Check Installation::
Otherwise, you may need to add the path to ESS to 'load-path' with:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/ESS/lisp")
You then need to decide whether to take advantage of deferred loading
(which will result in a faster Emacs startup time) or require ESS when
Emacs is loaded. To autoload ESS when needed (note that if installed
from source, you must have run 'make'):
(load "ess-autoloads")
To require ESS on startup, you can either put
(require 'ess-site)
or
(require 'ess-r-mode)
In your configuration file, depending on whether you want all ESS
features or only R related features.

File: readme.info, Node: Check Installation, Prev: Activating and Loading ESS
1.6 Check Installation
======================
Restart Emacs and check that ESS was loaded from a correct location with
'M-x ess-version'.

File: readme.info, Node: Starting up, Next: Current Features, Prev: Installation, Up: General Information
1.7 Starting an ESS process
===========================
To start an S session on Unix or on Windows when you use the Cygwin bash
shell, simply type 'M-x S RET'.
To start an S session on Windows when you use the MSDOS prompt shell,
simply type 'M-x S+6-msdos RET'.

1.9 New Features
================
Changes and New Features in 19.04 (unreleased):
* ESS[R]: Automatic offsetting of R process output is now disabled by
default because it produces undesirable output in some situations.
To re-enable, set 'inferior-ess-fix-misaligned-output' to t.
* ESS[R]: Improved 'xref' lookup ('M-.'). Function locations are now
always detected for package libraries listed in
'ess-r-package-library-paths'.
* ESS[R]: Evaluated lines starting with the Roxygen prefix are now
always stripped from the prefix, so they can be sent to the process
easily. Previously, this was only the case inside the 'examples'
field. Since roxygen is switching to R markdown, it becomes useful
to evaluate chunks of R outside examples.
* stata support is now obsolete since we were unable to elicit FSF
paperwork from some of the original authors: see the lisp/obsolete
sub-directory on the ESS github repo
* 'ess-set-working-directory' no longer changes the active directory
(as defined by the buffer-local variable 'default-directory') of
the buffer where the command is called. Instead, the active
directory of the inferior buffer is updated to the new working
directory.
* The default of ess-eval-visibly is now ''nowait'. With this change
you should no longer experience freezes while evaluating code.
* ESS[R]: There is a new menu entry for reloading the R process. It
is otherwise bound to 'C-c C-e C-r'. Reloading now reuses the same
process name and start arguments that were used to start the
process.
* iESS: Process runners now return the inferior buffer. Note that
callers of inferior runners should not assume that the current
buffer has been set to the inferior buffer. Instead, use
'with-current-buffer' with the return value of the inferior.
* iESS[SAS]: The SAS keymap was only set in iESS buffers called
'*SAS*'. This is now fixed.
* ESS[R]: Fixed longstanding indentation issues involving '::' and
':::' operators.
* Implement a more reliable check for the process busy state.
Background actions such as completion and directory synchronization
should not block the process and should not cause printing of the
extraneous output to the interpreter.
* Activate 'goto-address-mode' for url and email highlighting in
inferior buffers.
* 'smart-underscore' and 'ess-smart-S-assign-key' have been removed.
Users who liked the previous behavior (i.e. underscore inserting
"<-") should bind 'ess-insert-assign' to the underscore in their
Emacs initialization file. For example, '(define-key
ess-r-mode-map "_" #'ess-insert-assign)' and '(define-key
inferior-ess-r-mode-map "_" #'ess-insert-assign)' will activate it
in all ESS R buffers.
* ESS major modes are now defined using 'define-derived-mode'. This
makes ESS major modes respect modern conventions such as having
<language>-mode-hook and <language>-mode-map. Users are encouraged
to place customizations under the appropriate mode.
* New option ess-auto-width controls setting the width option on
window changes. Users can change it to 'frame, 'window, or an
integer. See the documentation for details.
'ess-auto-width-visible' controls visibility.
* ESS now respects 'display-buffer-alist'. Users can now use
'display-buffer-alist' to manage how and where windows appear. For
more information and examples, see *Note (ess)Controlling buffer
display::.
* 'ess-roxy-mode' can now be enabled in non-R buffers. This is
primarily intended to support roxygen documentation for cpp
buffers. Preview functionality is not supported outside R buffers.
* ESS[R]: DESCRIPTION files now open in 'conf-colon-mode'.
* 'ess-style' now has effects when set as a file or directory local
variable.
* 'ess-default-style' is now obsolete, use 'ess-style' instead.
* Options for 'ess-gen-proc-buffer-name-function' have been renamed.
ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:projectile-or-simple was renamed to
ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:project-or-simple and
ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:projectile-or-directory was renamed to
ess-gen-proc-buffer-name:project-or-directory. As the name
suggests, these now rely on project.el (included with Emacs) rather
than projectile.el, which is a third-party package.
* Eldoc fully honors 'eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p'
* ESS[R]: 'ess-r-rhub-check-package' gained new 'RECOMMENDED'.
* ESS[R]: devtools commands ask about saving modified buffers before
running. Users can disable the questioning with
'ess-save-silently'.
* ESS[R] help pages now provide links to other help topics. This is
similar with what you would see with, for example
'options(help_type = ``html'')' but works with the plain-text
version as well. This only works with 'options(useFancyQuotes =
TRUE)' (the default).
* 'ess-rdired' buffers now derive from tabulated-list-mode. They
should look better and be a bit faster overall. The size column
now displays object sizes in bytes.
* 'ess-rdired' buffers now auto-update. The frequency is governed by
the new option 'ess-rdired-auto-update-interval'.
* ESS[R]: 'electric-layout-mode' is now supported. This
automatically inserts a newline after an opening curly brace in R
buffers. To enable it, customize 'ess-r-mode-hook'.
* ESS[R]: imenu now supports assignment with the equals sign.
* ESS[Rd]: Rd no longer writes abbrevs to user's abbrev file.
* ESS removed support for many unused languages. This includes old
versions of S+, ARC, OMG, VST, and XLS.
* ess-r-runner-prefixes was modified to find R-4 and later.
The following have been made obsolete or removed, see their
documentation for more detail:
* Libraries for literate data analysis are obsolete and not loaded by
default. This includes 'ess-noweb', 'ess-swv', and related
functionality like 'Rnw-mode'. Users are encouraged to switch to
one of several other packages that deal with these modes. For
example, polymode <https://github.com/polymode/poly-R/>,
<https://polymode.github.io/>, or markdown-mode with edit-indirect
<https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode>.
* Support for 'auto-complete' is obsolete. The 'auto-complete'
package is unmaintained and so ESS support is now obsolete. Users
are encouraged to switch to 'company-mode' instead.
* User options for controlling display of buffers. This includes
'ess-show-buffer-action', 'inferior-ess-same-window',
'inferior-ess-own-frame', and 'inferior-ess-frame-alist'. See
above about ESS respecting 'display-buffer-alist'.
* Variables 'ess-tab-always-indent' and 'ess-tab-complete-in-script'.
Use the Emacs-wide setting of 'tab-always-indent' instead.
* 'inferior-ess-*-start-file' variables. All modes except Stata did
not respect customization of this variable. In order to load a
file on startup, you should put a function on
'ess-*-post-run-hook'.
Bug Fixes in 18.10.3:
* More 'Makefile' fixes, notably installing '*.el's.
Bug Fixes in 18.10.2:
* ESS[R] Fix namespace evaluation in non-installed packages.
Evaluation is directed into GlobalEnv as originally intended.
* 'Makefile' fixes, notably for 'make install' and including full
docs in the tarballs.
Bug Fixes in 18.10-1:
* New functions 'ess-eval-line-visibly-and-step' ('C-c C-n' and
'ess-eval-region-or-line-visibly-and-step' ('C-RET') which behave
as the old versions of 'ess-eval-line-and-step' and
'ess-eval-region-or-line-and-step'.
Changes and New Features in 18.10:
* This is the last release to support Emacs older than 25.1. Going
forward, only GNU Emacs 25.1 and newer will be supported. Soon
after this release, support for older Emacs versions will be
dropped from the git master branch. Note that MELPA uses the git
master branch to produce ESS snapshots, so if you are using Emacs <
25.1 from MELPA and are unable to upgrade, you should switch to
MELPA-stable.
* ESS now displays the language dialect in the mode-line. So, for
example, R buffers will now show ESS[R] rather than ESS[S].
* The ESS manual has been updated and revised.
* The ESS initialization process has been further streamlined. If
you update the autoloads (which installation from 'package-install'
does), you should not need to '(require 'ess-site)' at all, as
autoloads should automatically load ESS when it is needed (e.g.
the first time an R buffer is opened). In order to defer loading
your ESS config, you may want to do something like
'(with-require-after-load "ess" <ess-config-here>)' in your Emacs
init file. Users of the popular 'use-package' Emacs package can
now do '(use-package ess :defer t)' to take advantage of this
behavior. For more information on this feature, see *Note
(ess)Activating and Loading ESS::.
* ESS now respects Emacs conventions for keybindings. This means
that The 'C-c [letter]' bindings have been removed. This affects
'C-c h', which was bound to 'ess-eval-line-and-step-invisibly' in
'sas-mode-local-map'; 'C-c f', which was bound to
'ess-insert-function-outline' in 'ess-add-MM-keys'; and 'C-c h',
which was bound to 'ess-handy-commands' in 'Rd-mode-map',
'ess-noweb-minor-mode-map', and 'ess-help-mode-map'
* Functions 'ess-eval-line-and-step' and
'ess-eval-region-or-line-and-step' now behave consistently with
other evaluation function inside a package.
* ESS[R]: 'ess-r-package-use-dir' now works with any mode. This sets
the working directory to the root of the current package including
for example C or C++ files within '/src').
* ESS[R]: Long + + prompts in the inferior no longer offset output.
* ESS[R]: New option 'strip' for 'inferior-ess-replace-long+'. This
strips the entire + + sequence.
* ESS modes now inherit from 'prog-mode'. In the next release, ESS
modes will use 'define-derived-mode' so that each mode will have
(for example) its own hooks and keymaps.
* ESS[R]: Supports flymake in R buffers for Emacs 26 and newer.
Users need to install the 'lintr' package to use it. Customizable
options include 'ess-use-flymake', 'ess-r-flymake-linters', and
'ess-r-flymake-lintr-cache'.
* ESS[R]: Gained support for xref in Emacs 25+ *Note (emacs)Xref::.
* ESS[R]: The startup screen is cleaner. It also displays the
startup directory with an explicit 'setwd()'.
* ESS[R]: Changing the working directory is now always reflected in
the process buffer.
* ESS[R]: 'Makevars' files open with 'makefile-mode'.
* New variable 'ess-write-to-dribble'. This allows users to disable
the dribble ('*ESS*') buffer if they wish.
* All of the '*-program-name' variables have been renamed to
'*-program'. Users who previously customized e.g.
'inferior-ess-R-program-name' will need to update their
customization to 'inferior-ess-R-program'. These variables are
treated as risky variables.
* 'ess-smart-S-assign' was renamed to 'ess-insert-assign'. It
provides similar functionality but for any keybinding, not just
'_'. For instance if you bind it to ';', repeated invocations
cycle through between assignment and inserting ';'.
* 'C-c C-=' is now bound to 'ess-cycle-assign' by default. See the
documentation for details. New user customization option
'ess-assign-list' controls which assignment operators are cycled.
* ESS[R] In remote sessions, the ESSR package is now fetched from
GitHub.
* Commands that send the region to the inferior process now deal with
rectangular regions. See the documentation of 'ess-eval-region'
for details. This only works on Emacs 25.1 and newer.
* ESS[R]: Improvements to interacting with iESS in non-R files.
Interaction with inferior process in non-R files within packages
(for instance C or C++ files) has been improved. This is a work in
progress.
* ESS[R]: Changing the working directory is now always reflected in
the process buffer.
* ESS[JAGS]: *.jog and *.jmd files no longer automatically open in
JAGS mode.
Many improvements to fontification:
* Improved customization for faces. ESS now provides custom faces
for (nearly) all faces used and places face customization options
into their own group. Users can customize these options using 'M-x
customize-group RET ess-faces'.
* Many new keywords were added to 'ess-R-keywords' and
'ess-R-modifiers'. See the documentation for details.
* ESS[R]: 'in' is now only fontified when inside a 'for' construct.
This avoids spurious fontification, especially in the output buffer
where 'in' is a common English word.
* ESS: Font-lock keywords are now generated lazily. That means you
can now add or remove keywords from variables like 'ess-R-keywords'
in your Emacs configuration file after loading ESS (i.e. in the
':config' section for 'use-package' users).
* ESS[R]: Fontification of roxygen '@param' keywords now supports
comma-separated parameters.
* ESS[R]: Certain keywords are only fontified if followed by a
parenthesis. Function-like keywords such as 'if ()' or 'stop()'
are no longer fontified as keyword if not followed by an opening
parenthesis. The same holds for search path modifiers like
'library()' or 'require()'.
* ESS[R]: Fixed fontification toggling. Especially certain syntactic
elements such as '%op%' operators and backquoted function
definitions.
* ESS[R]: 'ess-font-lock-toggle-keyword' can be called interactively.
This command asks with completion for a font-lock group to toggle.
This functionality is equivalent to the font-lock menu.
Notable bug fixes:
* 'prettify-symbols-mode' no longer breaks indentation. This is
accomplished by having the pretty symbols occupy the same number of
characters as their non-pretty cousins. You may customize the new
variable 'ess-r-prettify-symbols' to control this behavior.
* ESS: Inferior process buffers are now always displayed on startup.
Additionally, they don't hang Emacs on failures.
Obsolete libraries, functions, and variables:
* The 'ess-r-args.el' library has been obsoleted and will be removed
in the next release. Use 'eldoc-mode' instead, which is on by
default.
* Functions and options dealing with the smart assign key are
obsolete. The following functions have been made obsolete and will
be removed in the next release of ESS: 'ess-smart-S-assign',
'ess-toggle-S-assign', 'ess-toggle-S-assign-key',
'ess-disable-smart-S-assign'.
The variable 'ess-smart-S-assign-key' is now deprecated and will be
removed in the next release. If you would like to continue using
'_' for inserting assign in future releases, please bind
'ess-insert-assign' in 'ess-mode-map' the normal way.
* ESS[S]: Variable 'ess-s-versions-list' is obsolete and ignored.
Use 'ess-s-versions' instead. You may pass arguments by starting
the inferior process with the universal argument.
Changes and New Features in 17.11:
* The ESS initialization process has been streamlined. You can now
load the R and Stata modes independently from the rest of ESS. Just
put '(require 'ess-r-mode)' or '(require 'ess-stata-mode)' in your
init file. This is for experienced Emacs users as this requires
setting up autoloads for '.R' files manually. We will keep
maintaining 'ess-site' for easy loading of all ESS features.
* Reloading and quitting the process is now more robust. If no
process is attached, ESS now switches automatically to one
(prompting you for selection if there are several running).
Reloading and quitting will now work during a debug session or when
R is prompting for input (for instance after a crash). Finally,
the window configuration is saved and restored after reloading to
prevent the buffer of the new process from capturing the cursor.
* ESS[R]: New command 'ess-r-package-use-dir'. It sets the working
directory of the current process to the current package directory.
* ESS[R] Lookup for references in inferior buffers has been improved.
New variable 'ess-r-package-source-roots' contains package
sub-directories which are searched recursively during the file
lookup point. Directories in 'ess-tracebug-search-path' are now
also searched recursively.
* ESS[R] Namespaced evaluation is now automatically enabled only in
the 'R/' directory. This way ESS will not attempt to update
function definitions from a package if you are working from e.g. a
test file.
Changes and New Features in 16.10:
* ESS[R]: Syntax highlighting is now more consistent. Backquoted
names are not fontified as strings (since they really are
identifiers). Furthermore they are now correctly recognized when
they are function definitions or function calls.
* ESS[R]: Backquoted names and '%op%' operators are recognized as
sexp. This is useful for code navigation, e.g. with 'C-M-f' and
'C-M-b'.
* ESS[R]: Integration of outline mode with roxygen examples fields.
You can use outline mode's code folding commands to fold the
examples field. This is especially nice to use with well
documented packages with long examples set. Set
'ess-roxy-fold-examples' to non-nil to automatically fold the
examples field when you open a buffer.
* ESS[R]: New experimental feature: syntax highlighting in roxygen
examples fields. This is turned off by default. Set
'ess-roxy-fontify-examples' to non-nil to try it out.
* ESS[R]: New package development command 'ess-r-devtools-ask' bound
to 'C-c C-w C-a'. It asks with completion for any devtools command
that takes 'pkg' as argument.
* ESS[R]: New command 'C-c C-e C-r' to reload the inferior process.
Currently only implemented for R. The R method runs
'inferior-ess-r-reload-hook' on reloading.
* ESS[R]: 'ess-r-package-mode' is now activated in non-file buffers
as well.
Bug fixes in 16.10:
* ESS[R]: Fix broken (un)flagging for debugging inside packages
* ESS[R]: Fixes (and improvements) in Package development
* ESS[R]: Completion no longer produces '...=' inside 'list( )'.
* ESS[R]: Better debugging and tracing in packages.
* ESS[R]: Better detection of symbols at point.
* ESS[R]: No more spurious warnings on deletion of temporary files.
* ESS[julia]: help and completion work (better)
* ESS[julia]: available via 'ess-remote'
Changes and New Features in 16.04:
* ESS[R]: 'developer' functionality has been refactored. The new
user interface consists of a single command
'ess-r-set-evaluation-env' bound by default to 'C-c C-t C-s'. Once
an evaluation environment has been set with, all subsequent ESS
evaluation will source the code into that environment. By default,
for file within R packages the evaluation environment is set to the
package environment. Set 'ess-r-package-auto-set-evaluation-env'
to 'nil' to disable this.
* ESS[R]: New 'ess-r-package-mode' This development mode provides
features to make package development easier. Currently, most of
the commands are based on the 'devtools' packages and are
accessible with 'C-c C-w' prefix. See the documentation of
'ess-r-package-mode' function for all available commands. With
'C-u' prefix each command asks for extra arguments to the
underlying devtools function. This mode is automatically enabled
in all files within R packages and is indicated with '[pkg:NAME]'
in the mode-line.
* ESS[R]: Help lookup has been improved. It is now possible to get
help for namespaced objects such as pkg::foobar. Furthermore, ESS
recognizes more reliably when you change 'options('html_type')'.
* ESS[R]: New specialized breakpoints for debugging magrittr pipes
* ESS: ESS now implements a simple message passing interface to
communicate between ESS and inferior process.
Bug fixes in 16.04:
* ESS[R]: Roxygen blocks with backtics are now correctly filled
* ESS[R]: Don't skip breakpoints in magrittr's 'debug_pipe'
* ESS[R]: Error highlighting now understands 'testthat' type errors
* ESS[Julia]: Added getwd and setwd generic commands

1.10 Reporting Bugs
===================
Please send bug reports, suggestions etc. to <ESS-bugs@r-project.org>,
or post them on our github issue tracker
(https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/issues)
The easiest way to do this is within Emacs by typing
'M-x ess-submit-bug-report'
This also gives the maintainers valuable information about your
installation which may help us to identify or even fix the bug.
If Emacs reports an error, backtraces can help us debug the problem.
Type "M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET". Then run the
command that causes the error and you should see a *Backtrace* buffer
containing debug information; send us that buffer.
Note that comments, suggestions, words of praise and large cash
donations are also more than welcome.
