Dear R users!

We've switched our default R to be the "offical" one from
https://www.r-project.org/
Therefore the default R version has been updated from version 3.2.4 to
the most recent one 3.3.2.

This is a quite significant update from the one in SageMath, hence
this notice. You still want to work with the older one in SageMath,
though:

1. In the command-line use "R-sage" instead of "R" and "Rscript-sage"
instead of "Rscript".

2. In Jupyter notebooks there are two R kernels: the newer R-Project
3.3.2 and "R (SageMath)" for the previous 3.2.4.

Regarding libraries, we did install all the ones we know about and
many more. In total, there are 557 R libraries (1.3 gb) available.
Still something missing? Email he...@sagemath.com.

Nice!

Note that upgrading Sage's R to 3.3.2 is in progress,
see Sage trac ticket #20523.
