[GRASS-stats] rgrass7_0.1-2 on CRAN

[Roger Bivand]

I've just submitted a new version of rgrass7 to CRAN, and the source 
package is now available. The Windows CRAN binary will follow shortly, but 
the OSX CRAN Mavericks binary may be delayed. This is because the new 
version suggests the most recent rgdal_1.0-6, which fixes an issue with 
the SQLite driver in GDAL2, seen when that driver is available.

The main change is to move the vector interface to using the SQLite format 
for intermediate files if it is available, and to get around the field 
name length restriction when using the shapefile format. Users should not 
see changes in behaviour, but I'd be grateful for reports to ensure that 
using these alternative mechanisms does not change results. Among other 
things, the laundering of SQLite field names is turned off, to prevent 
unintended conversion to lower case.

Suggestions and reports welcome!

Roger
