A few notices from the BUGS team. ******************************************************************* 1) There is new material added to the WinBUGS 1.4 page http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/secret-page.shtml including some tips, manual additions and a lot of new examples. Additional nice examples would be very welcome, especially in the fisheries/wildlife field. Also keep an eye on Andrew Gelman's bugs() function for running WinBUGS from R http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/bugsR/ This is continually being updated. ******************************************************************* 2) Thanks for telling us about problems with 1.4beta. These are generally due to the change in update order in 1.4, which nicely sorted out the problems with forward sampling, but of course introduced some more). WinBUGS 1.4 will be properly released before the key expires on January 12th, and we will be asking you to register as this is our evidence to our employers that people want the program! ******************************************************************* 3) Welcome to any new list members, who downloaded the key for WinBUGS1.3 after 8th November.
