The following are now on CRAN:

KernSmooth:  version 2.2 of the code for Wand & Jones book on kernel smoothing.
logspline:   spline fits to log denisites, with automatic choice of smoothing.
ppr:         projection pursuit regression.
rpart:       recursive partitioning (CART-like)
VR:          Venables & Ripley libraries 5.3pl021 for 0.62.1

and in the devel section

tree:        a clone of tree, prune.tree, cv.tree ...

which is fully operational but not much documented. Use your V&R2!

You can find out about KernSmooth, logspline, ppr and rpart in the
on-line statistics complements to Venables & Ripley at

    http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS2

The final release of the VR libraries is yet to come: it will follow
the bug-fixes in 0.62.2. If you really want to experiment, the current
version will be at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R, but do use this with
the latest R-release.tar.gz or R-snapshot.tar.gz.
