ShinyStan 2.2.1 released

[jgabry]

Version 2.2.1 of the shinystan R package is now available. This release doesn't introduce any new features but fixes a few important issues resulting from changes to several packages used to generate content for the ShinyStan GUI. Most importantly, prior to this release, updating to the latest version of the DT package would cause errors with ShinyStan's posterior summary statistics table (thanks to GitHub users tjmahr and cvr7 for bringing this to our attention). Release notes for this version and previous versions (the previous release did introduce some new features) can be found here.

You can check if binaries for your platform have been built at cran.r-project.org/package=shinystan. At this moment it appears that only Windows binaries have been built but Mac binaries should be available shortly. To install from CRAN and verify that you have latest version run

install.packages("shinystan")
packageVersion("shinystan")  #should be 2.2.1

If the binary for your platform hasn't been built then you can install from source by adding the argument type="source" when calling install.packages. Alternatively, for all platforms the latest release can be installed from GitHub (using the devtools package) by running 

devtools::install_github("stan-dev/shinystan", build_vignettes = TRUE)

P.S. Be on the lookout for new features coming this fall (or spring for those of you in the southern hemisphere). To request a feature (or file a bug report) you can use the GitHub issue tracker for ShinyStan at https://github.com/stan-dev/shinystan/issues
